Well, whatever....I sure like the car, and I'm a Ford man. Never been a tunnel rat, but I've spent many a year of my life working plumbing jobs under homes with less clearance than a rat needs. Sometimes you have to dig your way in.....and then dig your way out.

Nice car! Otis asks what flavor of wiring harness it has?

Regards!

I reckon the Americans would like the Aussie Ford Falcon XR6 turbo or not (and the XR8). Rear wheel drive, good looking, and lots of grunt. I think they'd like the ute (pickup) version, too.

Hey, EM - I think this is the first time I've seen your new car from the rear. I really like the dark blue - maybe I can find that color in my next car.

Yes it does stand out, sometimes you'd think it was black.

On this side of the Equator pairing the words Ford and Falcon has not been equated with Fast.

Ford obviously builds their cars differently there to what we do.

I don't believe it is legal here to drive a Falcon unless you are female, over 65 years and your hair is white. Special dispensation may be granted to others for driving to and from church.

Over here if you were to buy a Falcon from a little old lady the advert would read........... Only used at the Race Track on Sunday afternoons!!

Well I haven't said yet I like your car just as it is and your shot is nice too. We have V8 Supercars regularly on SpeedChannel here. From the looks of it your ride would acquit itself well.

Not so here. See Aussie Coupes | Mad Max Interceptor | Ford XB Falcon | Australian Ford falcon or Pepsi Max Crew - Ford Performance Racing - The Car for example

This is one great motor car....this is the up spec non turbo model. They ride a little higher than eaglem's XR6 / 8 series and on a higher profile tyre. Still a great drive though.
Love it.

Those Aussie wheels/tires would be useless here in this weather.
Rears 255/60 R17
Fronts 235/65 R17 the Caddy is 4wd with stability control etc
I was out tonight in melting snow/rain/black ice quite scary at 25 mph
