I wouldn't track a falcon, just buy it and enjoy it. I wouldn't mind a near stock xr6t now, the last one I had was a bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsonian101 Donating Members 961 Member For: 16y 7m 9d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 27/04/17 08:55 AM Share Posted 27/04/17 08:55 AM Welcome to the Falcon circuit world. True, as many have stated, a street Falcon is not an ideal circuit car as it's too heavy, hard on brakes, slow on direction change but can be very satisfying to improve/mod slowly over time. 1. Tranny choice depends on how serious you are. I've tracked (full circuit Supersprints) a ZF for 9 years. It does the job, but not ideal. If you are daily driving it too, the ZF is better. I am unaware of the ZF6 having downchange revving software. Mine has had many different ZF tunes and I've asked for this too. 2. The Barra is a heavy iron block. The Miami is also heavy and mounted high, especially with Supercharger mods. Neither are an ideal circuit engine. I've also chosen turbo's based on low end/midrange boost capability not max hp. The stock GT3576 on E85 was awesome for circuits 3rd gear and under. My current GTX3576R has more than enough midrange but lost the mid corner punch. GTX3582R is too laggy, but possibly quicker on long circuits. Too much boost overheats them in 5 laps anyway. 3. What is your budget? Depends on how serious you are and what front width, compound tyre you are running. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
