Video: Watch A Late Model Aussie Ford Falcon With A Turbocharged Straight Six Make 1,000hp At The Tires – Aeromotive Products On Board!


Video: Watch A Late Model Aussie Ford Falcon With A Turbocharged Straight Six Make 1,000hp  At The Tires – Aeromotive Products On Board!

GM got the memo that the Aussies get some cool RWD cars and that we should get them too, hence the G8 and the upcoming Chevy SS. Ford still has not answered the pained cries of its fans to bring over their Falcon (especially the FPV or Ford Performance Vehicles models) to answer the GM platform but there’s no signs that it will ever happen. This video proves why we need those cars here as Australia’s BTA Motorsports has built one with a turbocharged straight six that puts down 1,000hp to the tire and sounds insanely pissed off at full throttle on the dyno. Hell, watching the dude drive around in the car is enough to give us the shivers in a good way because once the motor crests 4,000 RPM and that turbo starts force feeding it, the thing takes off like a land based missile.

With the Mustang and Camaro battle still raging and both companies selling satisfactory units of the two iconic pony cars, why would it be a bad idea to have a pair of cool RWD sedans to beat on each other with as well? The Chevy SS (sold to police fleets as the Caprice) has been well received by the media, will have over 400hp and should be able to hang toe to toe with the Taurus SHO and maybe even edge it out. We’ll see about that. The Falcon is a great looking piece and clearly it can be made to haul serious amounts of mail. During the dyno pulls it looks like the car is trying to pull the whole building down. Seriously.

Australia has some draconian anti-fun laws regarding cars but if you can still build one that makes 1,000hp at the tire and legally cruise it down the road, it ain’t all that bad of a place.

    I won’t dispute the Barra 6’s are a good engine – 1,000 hp with little or no internal work, just a huge turbo, but holy hell the cars themselves are so bland, sooo ugly. I really don’t know what happened to Ford Aust. in the last few years but their cars just got uglier and uglier. I love my Fords but not the newies. They’re just good running gear in really ugly crates. If you doubt me, go to google images and type AU Falcon. Seriously, please make sure you haven’t just eaten….thats why we call em Awfully Uglies….
