If you could spec one Falcon to have anything...

[Iphido]

What would you stick into a falcon if you could:

A) spec anything that ford AU has in its current lineup
B) spec anything within the Ford empire (Aston, Jag, Volvo, US Ford etc)

Engines, brakes, mechanicals, interiors, gadgets, etc. What would you stick into your ultimate falcon?

[jmc-007]

Ford GTHO with AustinMartin V12 engine
Full race brakes and adjustable suspension
17in wheels and semi slicks
Full Motec Engine Mgmt System
Sparco Racing seats

[Group C]

As some of you may already know of my Bl00dy Awful MkII XR8 ute, and the list of problems it HAS had, and CONTINUES to have, I'd have to say that something RELIABLE would be a good start.

Should NEVER have sold the AUII XR8 ute...

[Fairmont I6]

i want an XR8 with the aston martin active exhaust they use on the new v8 vantage

[Polyal]

hmm...seat warmers like the Mondeo ST220...

Actually just bring the whole car here!

[FPV8U]

A new FPV GT with the Ford GT (USA Supercar) Engine.

[chevypower]

GTP with Triflex fuel V10, two turbo chargers, 2 electric motors (hybrid) from the Escape, 6 speed auto, air suspension from the Disco3 but sports car style, F750 brakes (cross drilled), maybe a Jaguar interior - but Harley Davidson style, Volvo safety gear, maybe some Lincoln extra touches here and there, make sure that FPV, Cosworth, SVT, and Saleen get working on it together too, to make it the best they possibly can.

[RavenLS1]

any car with a dragster engine in it.

[MAGPIE]

ST220 Wagon shape with

4.6L Mustang engine
AWD by Jaguar

or a decent looking Falcon wagon with a Turbo/Boss & IRS :

[Ryan]

I want a BF XR8 with twin Superchargers and 4WD.

[Falcon Freak]

BF GT sedan with the following modifications:

- Aluminium body with carbon fibre hang on panels
- engine equivalent to the 5.0 litre V8 from superseded M5
- brakes equivalent to the Porsche 911 Turbo ceramic brakes
- 50-50 weight distribution

FF

[Pieoter]

F6 typhoon shape made is crabon fibre using lightweight carbon composite chassis. Double wishbones all round. 400mm cermaic brakes.

Powered by the Veyron engine powering AWD using the evo AYC system.

[Steffo]

Ok lets see....

BF FPV GT looking... Shockwave with white stripes...

Interior would stay FPV style...

6.4litre V10 from the 2004 Shelby GR-1 and Cobra concept cars... which has
605hp (451kW) @ 6750rpm
501ftlbs (679Nm) @ 5500rpm and redlines at 7500rpm.

Gearbox would be the six-speed sequential out of the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. Wheels would be the ones off the 2006 Ford Tungsten GT, which can be seen here which are 18 x 9 inch at the front with Goodyear Eagle F1 supercar tyres at 235/45 ZR18 and 19 x 11.5 inch at the rear with Goodyear Eagle F1 supercar tyres at 315/40 ZR19.

And then the handling setup made to be a mix of Mustang GT-R concept and FPV GT gear for the right mix of street and track.

That's IMO the perfect Ford car, made off stuff currently in Ford's world wide arsenal.

[ClevlndStemer]

A falcon made by Volvo engineers.

[Brute6]

I'd have a heart attack while trying to work out what I want! Too much good stuff, not enough space to put it!!!!
But yeah, it's something like:
- BA/BF Falcon Coupe
- huge GTP rims with Semi Slick licorice strap tyres housing a set of racing-grade Ceramic stoppers
- six-speed paddle shift 'box
- Volvo can work out the safety system
- The biggest lump of V8 or V10 that'll fit in the front from the Shelby or SVT stables
- The exhaust system from the AM Vantage of 10 years ago
- The interior I'll leave for the Aston boys to dream about
- Shockwave will be the colour with the matching white stripes

I think I'd be quite happy with that combo.... :

[Poetic Justice]

BF Typhoon in Black
150db sound system
Runs flat 12's.

Everything else good is already there right?

[nb_351]

a cosworth typhoon... hmmm, lovely...
awd, twin turbo, just 19 by 9s with semi slicks, front mount, twin dump pipes, nice djr type sleeper bodykit, bonnet scoop/bulge, lip spoiler, slightly pumped guards f and r, 4 piston brembos all round, aston interior, conventional 6 spd manual, or optional sequential aston auto, id go the manual, with more beefed up twin plate clutch setup... and look for around 450 kw atw... to run approx 12s from the showroom... if only i could rise up the ranks of ford in a month...

[nb_351]

and yes, also available in a hardcore tuned, lightweight, racer hardtop evo model... but still be registerable... equivalent of a HO.. hehehe

[Perana]

Front engined RWD Mondeo 2 door with AMV8 running gear brakes etc

Rebadge the V8 Vantage as a Falcon Coupe and you have the best Ford in the world.

[XD 351 Ute]

An all aluminium, fuel injected, twin turbo, 351 Cleveland into a new XD ute body with Ford Territory all wheel drive (but not the height, still nice & low...)

That will do, oh maybe throw in a decent air cond. system & the 6 speed manual box out of a BF GT.

A nice blend of old & new in a classic tough ute style. Well that's what I want anyway.

[Steffo]

You posted while I was fixing my edit comment........
Still, I haven't changed my mind!

[McobraR]

I would like an FPV GT-P (a coupe version would also be alright) with an all-aluminium body/chassis (using jaguar's methods), fitted with the 7.0L V10 in the '427 concept' shown a few years back. Also use the Jaguars version of the ZF 6-speed auto gearbox to handle the extra power/torque while using the software thats fitted in the aussie-spec ZF auto.
With the aluminium body and the V10 (which is lighter than a 5.4 V8 if im correct), the car should lose about 200kg (similar to what the XJ lost), maybe more. Specs:
Engine:
7.0L V10 DOHC V10
590hp (440kw) @ 6500rpm
509ft-lbs (691nm) @ 5500rpm
Weight:
1670kg
Performance:
0-100kph about 4.0 seconds
0-400m about 11.9 seconds
note: the 6.4L V10 stated by steffo could also be used, but i prefer more cubes :evil3:

[zetec]

Either a Fiesta ST with the XR5 Turbo engine/trans and 18" wheels and AWD out of an S40...

Or a Ford GT stock as a rock.

Either way I'd be a happy happy man!

A hand-crafted car that offers electrifying performance and outstanding agility. 4.3 litre 283 kW (380 bhp) engine, designed for flexibility as well as outright performance, the front mid-mounted V8 also delivers an outstanding aural experience, as one would expect with a maximum speed of 280 km/h. Lightweight, all-alloy structure, class-leading strength and rigidity. The front mid-engined layout – dry sump lubrication system allows the engine to sit low – rear-mid transmission provides optimum front to rear weight distribution as well as a low centre of gravity. Exceptional agility and inspired balance and handling.
Beautiful sports car lines, maintaining a unique identity. Hand-trimmed in the finest quality materials, the cabin is that of an authentic sports car. Driver and passenger sit low, close to the car's centre of gravity, where they can feel the car reacting to the input of the driver – it's a special sensation, usually only experienced in racing cars. The connection between car and driver is very direct. Very sporting. Instantaneous.
Built by hand – not for sentimental reasons but because only craftsmen can deliver the design details and level of finish that engineers and designers demand. This level of detail and finish is simply not possible in high-volume manufacture. The all-alloy structure, the lightweight body, the hand-assembled V8 engine, the sophisticated electronic controls and audio systems: all are engineered to a level of technology rarely seen in the automotive industry. This mix of technology, tradition and low volume makes for an exclusive, advanced and uniquely desirable car.
This V8 is a high-performance sports car, yet the engine is so tractable, the handling so predictable, the visibility so good and the controls so easy to use that it is as comfortable in town or city as it is on country roads or even the track.
Body:
- Two seat, two door body with rear tailgate
- Bonded aluminium structure
- Aluminium alloy, steel, composite, and magnesium alloy body
- Extruded aluminium side impact bars
- Rear parking sensors
- Halogen projector headlamps
- LED rear lamps
Engine:
- All alloy quad overhead camshaft 32 valve, 4.3 litre V8
- Variable inlet camshaft timing
- Dry sump lubrication system
- Fully catalysed stainless steel exhaust system with active bypass valves
- Front-mid mounted engine
- Rear wheel drive
Projected Performance figures:
- Maximum power: 283kW (380 bhp / 385 PS) @ 7300 rpm
- Maximum torque: 410Nm (302 lb.ft) @ 5000 rpm
- Maximum speed: 280 km/h (175 mph)
- 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds
- 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.0 seconds
Oh what car??? the Ford owned Aston Martin V8 Vantage. I think it uses the Zf transmission also...and check out the site, the interior looks a lot like a sexed up Falcon or could it be the Falcon is an dumbed down luxury car???
These are sex on wheels and out of the "ford" stable.

[chief]

I would choose T3 TL50 With the new Astin Martin Vanquish running gear. Luxuary with even more performance.

[Big Mike]

I rang everyone I could think of after I bought my coupe and asked them ALL "How many doors/pedals/cylinders" should their perfect car have - they ALL answered 2 doors, 3 pedals, 8 cylinders; and hey that's what I've got.

But, my car is no comparison to a 427 s/c AWD replica GT40. Or, any of the suggestions above with links to Aston Martin, Jaguar, and other Ford Parts Bin products. Some fantastic ideas there.
