Breakdown Member 17 Member For: 13y 4m 21d Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) I have a 5-speed 2010 XR6 N/A. According to Wikipedia's page about "Ford Falcon", it claims that the stock 5-speed FG XR6 N/A makes 0-100 in 6.2 seconds. However, my 5-speed FG XR6 N/A does 0-100 in just over 7 seconds. I had no passengers in the car and the boot was empty (but the fuel tank was full). I also had it in "Performance Drive" mode (naturally). The highway I did my 0-100 had no incline or turns; it was completely flat and straight.I feel a bit jipped lol. I see videos on Youtube of guys getting their 5-speed N/A XR6s to do 0-100 in the low-to-mid 6 second range.Do 0-100s vary from car to car of the same transmission, make and model? Obviously not every one of the same cars will post the exact same time, but I posted more than 1 second above Wikipedia's claim, which is a alot, I think.Could it be that the type of tyres and their pressure affects 0-100s to such a degree? (I have the stock 17-inch Goodyear tyres on my XR6.)Also, I am interested to hear from you guys on this forum and your personal 0-100s in your N/A FG XR6 (5- or 6-speed, and only stock).Thanks chaps!

It does, but it was wikipedia that made this claim, and they're not always the best source for factual information. However, they claimed that Ford made this claim about the N/A 5-speed Auto. But I've seen guys' clips on Youtube who (allegedly) had a 5-speed N/A and they were posting times of about 6.5 seconds... so I don't know. Anyway, my 5-speed got just over 7 seconds with a full tank, just wondering if others' NAs got closer to the 6 second mark with theirs...

If you want to be quicker try more stall, better tyres or a few simple mods.
