    I have a Dec 2015 XR8 in Kinetic Blue, stock standard auto and with less than 17000 on the clock .
    It is my first ever v8 and I'm 68 years old.
    I regularly watch your videos and really appreciate your love for our Falcons.
    I've owned Falcons and Ford products since continually since 1986. The most enjoyable vehicle I've ever owned /really loved was a 2008 FG XR6 in Se t
    rayback ute that was full LPG, a sensation blue utevery impressed with the vehicle, but there's no way I would like to drive it in wet weather conditions.
    I love it

    Great review Ross, as an owner of an identical FGX XR8 as this one, ive been waiting for you to do a review although mine is more or less stock compared to this beast. They are such an understated car, no FPV Badge but are the exact same spec as the GT R-spec, with a blacked out interior, and an aggressive front end that looks fresher than ever.

    Should have tried the 0-100 with the launch control/2 Step that you can only use with the traction control ON. You put your foot on the brake, hold the clutch in & stab the push the accelerator 100% with your heel or toe of your right foot while holding th brake pedal. So now that you are pushing all three pedals at the sane time with the traction on, the car will rev not rev 4000RPM (it will bounce from 3500-4000RPM). Drop the clutch & let go of the brake & hold the throttle flat & wait to hear a tripple beep from the dash that goes off 250rpm from when its the perfect time to change into second or any gear💯‼ I got about 5 seconds flat in my XR8 Sprint with the factory 265mm Pirelli 19x9 imch rims & factory tune back the🎯‼

One day maybe what about a Holy Grail Falcon if you could get a go at one ...Generally regarded with the full package as the fastest and best handling one of all . Got to be because the incredible FPV crew were behind it .. This one though is nuts and the sound is bonkers , I have an FG XR6 as you know , love that and didn't get too excited about the FGX initially but once I saw one in real life I loved them ..Will buy one , one day and a V8 too if at all possible ...Thanks again for another great vid ..

    Dam fast this thing. The only thing is can you have to much power? Just imagine if you could put that power to the ground? My BA XR8 with the 5:4 Boss V8 with tune, Cold Air and Difillipo tuned length headers, hi-flow cats, Hi flow exhaust with Herrod sports exhaust from cats back in a 4 speed auto will do sub 6 second 0-100km, but l can stomp on it and my 243kw at the rear wheels will get 100% of its power down. I am running FG 19” XR8 rims with Pirelli dragon sports 245/45 all round. It is not a criticism to the beast of a car but l can see that it can get you into trouble. It would take finesse with the a pedal to drive this thing but wow these coyote 5L V8’s are physco.

      Ford Aus, used the Coyote block. They changed the crank pistons and supercharged it and more mods than that totalling $40 million in development back around 2009. It also included a further modified intercoled engine. Ford Australia and America recognised that the modifications were enough to warrant a name change from Coyote to Miami. Every engine was hand assembled and signed by the engine builder as per Ford Performance US standards and same as the GT HO phase 3 with QT stamp back in 1971 everyone balanced blueprinted and hand assembled by the the same builder.

    That 6.1 sec to 100 is a cry for help. I saw first gear take off wasn’t right but…., what is the point of that much power and torque (and running it on E85 on top of it) if there is no traction. Actually the wheel spin didn’t look that bad. Try different tyres like Yokohama A52. Similar price to the Cup2 but superior traction.

      Ok well Johnny did a review on my car, the black/yellow SS ute. To give you an idea, I was between Daly waters and Darwin and I overtook a road train, I was going 80km/h at his rear wheels and I was going 180km/h when I passed the driver in the cabin. So that's where all the acceleration is, in 3rd gear.
      Then later on I overtook 3 road trains in one go, again was going 80 at the rear, by the time I got to the cabin of the front road train I was going 245. And this was still in 4th gear.
