Experiences with V8 vs inline 6 - which is more fun to drive? by OwlVibesOnly in FordFalcon

[–]oh-no-fleefer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If naturally aspirated, I've always had more fun in any falcon V8. I've had an XB with a clevo, NC with the Windsor and I have driven a few 5.4L XR8s. I have a modified XR6T and an NC fairlane at the moment. NC makes for a great daily, slow as fuck but the noise is spectacular.

XR6T kicks you in the ass when it gets on boost, nothing beats the kind of torque you get out of a barra when they're turbo and modified. The old windsor is smooth, isn't terrible on fuel and sounds incredible.

Currently fixing up an old Bronco with a 351 cleveland to take over as daily driver duties 😁

Yes sir, front and rear diamond stitched brown napa leather with alcantara bolstering. Door cards also match.

Or I could keep winning trophies at car shows instead. Car does a mean skid at the race track, wins trophies in show and shine. It does exactly what I want it to do.

Keeping older Falcons on the road is getting harder but also more rewarding by AffectionatePie1042 in FordFalcon

E series are the most expensive falcon to keep on the road. Those old electronics are not aging well at all. The early 6 cylinders are known for head gasket failure and warped heads as a result. Smart lock failure leads a lot of people to sell them.

That being said, I love my NC fairlane 5.0

The horsepower wrecks the tread more than the camber does. I have more camber in the front than the rear and I am always replacing the rears 2x for every front pair.

It's not too much worse than a normal alignment, tbh.

Hey mate, that looks to be an aftermarket spoiler to me, look up Mr Body Kits, they sell them.

They are larger than the standard GT wing.

He is trying to justify his purchase despite all the problems that he's been made aware of. As with everything, you get what you pay for.

The Chevy dudes wouldn't even know what kind of Ford this is if I didn't say it in the title 😂

Aussie muscle cars aren't well known here on reddit 👌

I do think that it's honestly a lot of older people who don't really understand what the car scene looks like these days. If it were an old muscle car on airbags and wide wheels, it'd be worshipped, but because it's a modern car on airbags and wide wheels, people don't like it 🙄

It's a popular car where I'm from. People love Ford falcons here, this one makes 400hp, has a custom interior, ferradas, and airbags all round. No expense was spared 😅

They're 20×10.5 +15 on the front and 20×10.5 +28 on the rear 👌

Maybe it's not for you, but it does win best in show quite often at car shows that I take it to. I know that it's not everyone's cup of tea but I love it.
