- A warm welcome to everyone checking out my latest TH-cam video!
In this car review, I share with you my thoughts on this VERY FAST 1350HP Ford Barra FPV F6 (FG).
Based on the humble Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo, the masterminds at Ford Performance Vehicle's have sprinkled their automotive magic into the Barra DNA and in came the FPV F6.
One of the last ever made FPV's, this FG generation F6 is said to be one of the best Australian built vehicles of all time. With the legendary 4L inline-six Barra engine at the front, this car solidifies it's super sedan status. Heightened to extreme levels, this car truly defies the limits of power within a street car. Find out what I think of this car in the video!
Huge thank you to the owner Al for letting me drive his pride and joy - / afast_1

Something about barras that just make me smile
I'm a Holden man but that was bloody skits mate
Hahahaaaaa FUCKINNN NOLSEYYYYYY!!! 👊🏼🍻

Long live the Barra, the greatest ever straight six!
These Barra engines are insane!! I would really love to see Ford here in the USA put this motor into a car out here...
industrial American too proud to ever do that mate
@@firstworldproblems6064 it should get a chance now tho! All the new turbo straight 6 motors being introduced here now!
I always love how passionate you are, the way you describe the cars Clay. The format in how you break it down and feature out each of the cars you review. Especially this one. A legend you are brother!
There are many people who can match this guy's enthusiasm. Good on ya Clay
The clips of the pulls from the back seat give a great sense of how fast the car is!
One of my regrets is that I didn’t buy the Barra F6 when they Were being built. History will show this will probably be Australia’s greatest car.
Thank you for posting another brilliant video👍
if you look past the flawed diff bushes, centre bearing, control arms, plastic inside door handles, heater mixer shaft, mk2 ICC, extremely thin plastic IC piping etc. then they're a pretty solid car :)
You can still buy one 2nd hand.

Hi footlocker
To late bought a 2018 mustang GT😀
Should have bought an XR6 Sprint. Those will be the best. FGs will be like modern XYs and the FG Xs will be like modern XAs.
FGX sprint 6
Clay ,
This was by far one of the best vids you’ve posted.. the look on your faces at the end... priceless 😳😉🤫😮😮😂😂😂🤙🏻❤️
HAHAHA absolutely lost for words😆😆 Thank you so much for tuning in mate🙏
XR6 Sprints and F6s are just wicked! Absolutely love them. The modern GT-HOs.
How are they wicked jdm destroys them,when the fast jdm guys go at it wear ard the barras getting bus gapped nothing more,from small capacity jdm well engineered motors vs the barra built buy drunks at Geelong really. Give it a rest,ever herd of the 350 club it's full of jdm and euro.stuff that are fast cars barras please bogan buses
@@definitionmedia1130 so you agree that Barras are better engineered. So well engineered that they can hose those teeny little 2L to 3L girly engines, even after being assembled by Gazza from Geelong. 😆 For the record, I love RBs, 1JZs and 2JZs are typically Toyota tough and I’m a big fan of the mighty Barra. Hell, anything that makes gobs of grunt for minimal outlay, to the point that I’m considering sticking an LS into a Ford that’s currently got a wheezy old Windsor. I’ve got enough mechanical understanding to appreciate the engineering of all those engines, regardless of the manufacturer.
@@bengibson3955 barras are poorly engineered.the 2jz piss all over the barra,
What an amazing piece of machinery! Great video as always Clay! Keep up the great work👌😎
Best Aussie content ever. Amazing car and owner. Amazing video creator!
Thank you so much brother☺️🙌
You got my subscription for this video, keep them coming!!
Hey Clay i'm new to the channel and loving the content that's coming out, can't wait for the next one.
So good to see your channel growing man, really high quality production! I’m keen to see an FA20 WRX with some mods on your channel!
In love with that engine bay😍
That Turbo sounds so mad, and 1350HP is just crazy in a good way. Great video once again Clay 🔥🇦🇺🙌🏼.
TheGearChange holy shit I see you everywhere, I was the guy that commented about the 747 idea for Troy 🤣
Sassy The Sasquatch Haha yep I’m active across all platforms and funnel enough I’m about to post a video of a HSV GTS with a Qantas 747 Livery I made myself with a little homage too on here and Instagram/Twitter ✈️.
TheGearChange nice, I’ll make sure to look out for it
@@woostaaaa Just uploaded it to my channel if you're keen to check it out 🚘
Ford should be massively selling this motor world wide
Missed opportunity, apparently the casting plant has been demolished. Not sure if they kept the casts or not.
@George Strait they go hard though
@George Strait they were less thirsty than any if holdens v8s despite a relatively large turbo. They are known to do well over a million kms in stock form due to there strength. And they can take over 2500hp on a stock block and head again because of its strength. It does everything better than a holden/chevy v8. Sound is all dependent on cams, compression, tuning, and exhaust systems. The ss commy sounds pretty piss weak from factory too
Ford USA shut us down for the mustang so sadly no more Barras
No they shouldn't why would they ruin the motor by selling in other countries
watched the first few seconds of this video and had to give a like
God damn clay!! You finding the most crazy cars at the moment 🤩🙌 Melbourne killing it
Time to come to the east side fella
Mike Nolan Nolsey?
@@mikenolan3060 its about time eh haha..
@@Bondmaster007 one day!
I'm a holden man but the barra is a very impressive and more than capable engine. Good vid mate 🤙
How long till he gets someone's car impounded lol
Hahahaha
First hour of driving
The asian in the back seat his mouth wide open says it all
Is that his brother? Sum Ting Wong.
H HOUR HOTEL that torque hit different with the Barra
@@bradonj Nah by the look on his face more like Ho-Lee Fuk.
That’s one crazy build. I have one and tempted to modify it but they’re a beast as is
New subscriber here, great video mate looking forward to your new content but for now I'll binge you video's
Keep the F6 coming !!!!! Nice 👍 vid bro.
Another great video Clay!.
You're preaching to the converted mate, I love these things. You didn't mention what sorta diff is under it.
Love it Brother👌Another Great Creation 👍
Fantastic. My brother had fg f6. What an awesome motor. The old 250 evolved. I had a mate who worked at Product Engineering in Geelong. I was an apprentice mechanic he told me circa 1980 that Ford Geelong had a 250 with 4 valves per cylinder on the dyno doing endurance testing and the engine was making crazy HP and at high RPM. So the old 250 was evolving and being developed to assess it's potential a long time ago and that is why the barra is so successful because of the research and evolutionary process. It someone should purchase Ford casting plans etc and start building engines for the world market
There a flawed set-up only ice heads think the barra is better the the 2jz,not even in the same world
Incredible . . . kudos!
Hahaha love the ending Mate!!!! Bloody mint and we'll presented champ 😀😀
Hahaha!! I’m glad you enjoyed it mate!!🤟😁
@@ClayWong awesome content like always 😀😀
That power skid 👌👌
Super cruiser!!! That motor can haul ass!
Now there's a bad ass F6👀💀❤️
"The 1400 million HP taxi"! Looks sik bro.
Off topic here but I love your fashion bro
Awesome engine and transmission combination.
Nice review
Man I need this car in my life 😁
The Beast Sounds COOL
Underrated
Daily driver. .... just not on wet days or before pay day! ! Oh and I think you forgot to push the record button at the end !!
that's the meanest car
Thanks guys
Real smart doing pulls in a car your new to on public roads with other cars around!
Long live the barra 😍
Love the vid. Also how’s this guy driving on the street with drag radials not to mention that crazy engine bay without attracting the boys in blue?
The boys in blue actually love it!🤣
Clay Wong love that just wish I could have the same kind of luck ahaha!
makes me miss my 480rwkw FG. used heaps of fuel and was a massive tank but you really cant beat rolling on the power at 110km/hr and wheel spinning past people
@shane marz yeah i did have 360rwkw when running a GT3582 turbo. Upgraded to a GTX3582 and changed fuel to e85 and pushed it to slightly over 480rwkw
@shane marz cool mate, run your VT at the drag strip, you'll need to beat 10.88 @ 134.6mph to beat my quickest time which i did with a very sad transmission
Blown away by how it can that power down on normal roads 😄 Unreal! My G6ET is shocking.
@hudson Kumho 275-30-20. All I could find at the time.
@hudson 10" aus made wheels. I put Yokohama Ao48 semi's on my 280rwhp escort. Hooks up sweet! 😁 Does pay off to spend more
What a weapon of a car
I have a f6 and I've never said that about my seats 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
the aussie 2j 🤤🤤
That is savage
Great editing skills as always mate, but how are you able to film these reviews during covid restrictions in Melbourne. Jealous!
Glad you enjoyed it my brother! Very fortunate to be shooting during this time that’s for sure🙌
dream car
The ending 😂😂
Love the fg.
But love my, au Fairmont aswell. 😂😂🇦🇺
im a holden guy, but i respect this ford
How did you keep your head off the headrest with 1004kw? Mines pinned to that shit with 600kw pulling 1.4g's of acceleration. And I'm really struggling to put the power down, drag radials or not.
🤩 wow
They're so nice... too bad everyone is modding them. They're more valuable in the future unmodified. Hence why I'm keeping my FG 50th anniversary XR6T stock as a rock. But each to their own! Amazing car.
“A typical F6 makes about 400-500kw at the wheels”. No, they do not.
Your pretty stupid he's obviously talking about a typical built engine duhhhhhhh
I think he meant a typical modified f6.
They make no where near that
Weapon👌
Epic car mate, needs a roll cage but!!
Yeah pretty silly with cars like this, mainly built just to go roll racing.
how do yo like the handling of these falcons bro?
To the owner dikkatli sur bro. Nice car masallah
Good old bangholme rd ;)
WOw there's no way with stock tyres even semi slicks with stock sizes will that have traction, which is why he has the drag radials and a lot larger, which gives you grip straight away as soon as they heat up. :) Also noticed and correct me if i'm wrong mr wong, there's no heat shielding around the turbo or headers or maybe they are ceramic coated, plus heat shielding would do the trick to keep the heat away from the engine bay, nice FG and people do not realize it costs around 50K for engine and running gear comb to be in a totaly safe drag /st car, stock autos and diff go right out the window and the same with tailshafts so all that costs money if you want a real good running gear and safe upto 1,500 hp rating its that simple?
💪💪
Love your videos Clay! Suggestion, could you please do a 0-100kph times and possibly 1/4mile times on all future cars that you review please please please.
Yeah mate easy he will just fly them all to Mexico to do them and fly them back to Victoria 😂😂😂😂
Only needs 2 cylinders to make the original 310kw 😂
I like last action 🤣🤣🤣🤣
#BarraTheWorld
AUTO MAFIA RACING DOWN IN FLORIDA IS IMPORTING THESE TO PUT IN MUSTANGS, he has a TH-cam channel check out auto mafia if you’re interested in seeing this motor in a coupe.
Your smile isn’t as large as in the Commodore, that super charger makes a big difference in torque figures in comparison to a hair dryer + you can’t beat cubes. I’m glad you dropped this tube. Small suggestions in limited areas, good job 👍🏼
It’s been known to punch rods out of the blocks too.
this f6 is making 1300hp? of cause he wouldn’t be smiling he’s shittin his pants. and i would be too
Gotta say vf beats the fg. Interior alone is enough reason it looks like it's a 2005 car inside
Connect up some laughing gas to that LSA, get the tune right and it’d be like Bathurst 75% of times past; big horse power but what were the torque figures? As if the owner would send a stranger out in that 🙄
M. R. he did a video on a vf gts with 700hp just the other day. you can find that 1000kw G6E’s dyno video on fullboost.com. you can also see australia’s fastest vf gts running a stock blower there too
That Turbo lag is frightening.
I hope you didn't break the speed limit mate lol, I saw you hit 200kph like 3 times.
0:40 This camera work is dope
Yasss
this is all riverend and mcmahens road right behind my house
I'll still support Bennys cresta Go BCW👍
F#@$/n Marvelous!
LS KILLA ......forsure bring on the barras ......barra the world
La killa? Nah... lmao!!
The bloke in the back seat messed his pants
Shouldve put a 6 or 8 speed gearbox for fuel economy wise while driving normal
The blokes face in the back seat says it all...
Man i love officially gassed
ALL WHEEL SPIN LOL HAHA
Cover the the plates
Barra motor will always over shadow a LS period!!!
No
Ford America if you're listening please bring back the inline 6!
Wow
while I love the car and would give almost anything to own and drive such a weapon the reality is it is not a street car, one squirt at the wrong time and if caught you've lost your licence and have the car crushed under the hoon laws. Plus no insurance company is going to insure it with NOS (well not here in QLD) so good luck if you crash.
why these wonderful motors are .not available in Canada is beyond me.grrrrrrr.
Curious as to the wheel specs on this thing!
I can't find anything other than run of the mill falcon 17's, or shitty modified 16' steelies that'll clear fg xr brakes 😥
FG F6's run 19" factory and that will fit big brakes, a big brake kit with 355mm rotors is now being sold.
@@waveman0 I was referring more to finding a 15inch rim for fitting drag radials on to an FG XR sedan
@@bigpotential82 sorry mate, I think 320mm rotors will fit with 15" rims but don't quote me.
@@waveman0 all good mate, thanks for the input anyway 👍
CLAY WHERE IS THIS ROAD IN MELB?
What kind of Cost are we Talking about to Build?
Man this whole set-up must of costed a bunch
@Mr Goo nah but like the turbo, all the plasma man components, transmission, guessing diff, labour, let alone all the bits and pieces, plus the car (very clean guessing it was bought new or nearly new) whole thing total probs cost 75k+ easy...still very good value for a supercar killer that can take your kids to school.
@Mcgoogoo more like $650
this would eat any ls 1jz or 2jz
_Brap_ Lives Matter!
