FPV FG F6 310 0-100

[StavTakko]

The f6 is a beautiful car. Thanks for sharing this. I broke the video down in video editing program and 5.29 seconds to 100 is a very good time..

[DeathCoreGamer]

That's fairly quick

[FormulaVeeRacer1200]

@10202063 its a zf6speed u tard.. fuck

[EnterTheMind93]

Auto's are shit. Why the fuck would you buy a performance car in an automatic. You have more control with a manual and can feel the power that the car has

[slamon94]

@EnterTheMind93 Your telling me you can shift faster than an auto. Get fucked you arrogant prick, you probably dont even own a car

[billybodybuilder]

@EnterTheMind93 Sure , agreed , but in 1/4 mile drag racing , the auto will be quicker in the same car especially in a turbo. Boost stays on full all the way.

[KR4Z3D666]

@EnterTheMind93 Look at all the highest powered sports cars in the world. 90% of them use 6 speed auto's with a flappy panel.

[Redblower]

nice clean video.

thanks for uploading.

[averagejimmy]

Win News? Sounds like a Canberra car to me!

[GMHKLR]

couldnt imainge driving this beast, my stock fg xr6 ute is fast enough lol

[MrJimmyboy90]

just timed it, was around 5.3-5.4 seconds to get to 100 from standing start... pretty fast.... all tho fg xr6 turbo says they can do it in 5.1,

[ONDGHIA]

This has to be stock.. :-/

[utubenz576]

i have got the same car and its automatic and it also shifts in the similar way

[brazzr]

has ur old man seen this vid, or was it his idea lol

[FalconXR6Turbo]

@brazzr

it's him driving...lol

[supersexyroybird]

dont change gear when doing 0-100, first gear will be enough to get yourself a quicker time

[saintluke87]

@supersexyroybird Great advice, i heard 0-300 in first works even better.

[parad0x666]

@10202063 It's definitely an auto, it's just that it gets wheel spin at the top of first gear, hence the drop in speed as it shifts to second... There's a few FG XR6T's with the ZF that do the same thing.

[the124Lscania]

wow a slant dash...............

[Andymuwukka]

you in wollongong? i heard somethin about WIN news i think, what a hole that place is!

[tenthattempt]

definately an auto. anyone who says otherwise is probly some povo from mount druitt who hasn't driven anything newer than a datsun 180b.

[erniethefart]

Finally a video to aid for my sideways head!

[scotchfillet]

Anyone thinking that this is a manual is on something that is altering their minds and is making them think that a human can shift this fast with a clutch pedal and gear stick to contend with. BTW, that was my longest sentence this month.

[jferjason]

@scotchfillet ,its not that hard to change gears manually at that speed,because if thats an auto the gear changes are rather slow

[blakeforrest1]

Did u use the tip tronic and did u let off the accelarator??? 

[be8282]

FORD-First on race day.....up in this mother!!!!!!!!

[Holdmypole]

Anybody know who FPV is an Australian company? Or is it like HSV and Holden.. I know Falcon l6 has been 100% Aussie since 1972 or something cos the ones from the US weren't cutting it over here.

[be8282]

@Holdmypole one word...wikipedia u lazy c**t

[Greno]

yeah definitely appears that the gear changes seem to be manual

no auto does that :S

weird gearbox if that's an auto

[Mick10010]

Looks like a manual to me. I own a 4 speed auto BA mkII xr6 turbo, i dont get anywhere near as much of a drop in speed going flat foot in tiptronic mode or otherwise. Cant hear any shifting noises but who knows. Why the fuck would you film it sideways anyway? all in all bad video...

[FalconXR6Turbo]

@Mick10010

Trust me when I say that there is a world of difference between a BA XR6T and an FG F6 ( I know, I used to own a BA MKII XR6T with the 4 speed).

And guys, enough already !!! It's an auto !!! Why would I pretend otherwise ???

[LiLMackaELi6]

Hmm 6 speed autos do reduce torque through shifts dont they? Where as a 4 speed just slams, i got a 4speed xr6t and it just slams straight in no torque reduction or nothing. lol its pretty damn fast to, alright i have had an edit tune and stuff.

[tenthattempt]

If the guy says it's auto, then it's a bloody auto. So sick of wankers on these vids just to try and make the uploaders look like liars. I would say it's jealousy, because their dads probably drive camry's. If you have an f6 ute, and it doesn't shift like this, maybe it's because you drive differently...eg. you get off the pedal early cause you're scared because it's the first car you've driven with more than 100kw.

[MuzzDrifter94]

FORD POWER!! :D

[fordpwrXR8]

@MuzzDrifter94 o yeah

[genderbenda04]

tiptronic mode for sure. (:

[fpvshitsonhsv]

The lag that you see is the idiot proof system! If it didnt have that delay people would be wraping them around poles when it snaps 2nd. Becouse some people will just floor the fuck out of it and have no control

[mikenorman66]

comparing the xr6 turbo current model. Which would be quicker, the six speed auto or the 6 speed manual with launch control assuming the driver of the manual car really knows how to drive.

[notsosmartnow]

@mikenorman66

the auto

stock fg xrt's and g6e's auto have been able to do 12.8's stock, mid 13's is the best i've seen manual

[FalconXR6Turbo]

Mate. It's my old man's car and I can tell you right now. It's an auto. Traction is why it's all weird and looks slow-ish (which I can tell you...it's not...any auto that can spin the wheels at 80km when you plant the right foot is rapid!!!).

[10202063]

Well mate i apologise, it just does not shift like mine does.. maybe like you said there was a traction control difficulty.. was he using manual mode by any chance? congrats on the car im loving mine.. thanks for reply

[aussi3212]

true true

[10202063]

lol is manual and shitty changes at that

[123dodgecharger]

Thats slow dudes

[caka23]

since when was auto quicker? unless its like a dual clutch or that fancy gear box the newest Mitsubishi Evo has

[BENNO117]

lol Autos high end cars have been better for many years champ

[gazzadabomb]

hahaha undred

[Exalle]

hahahahaha, you just hear him at the end "UNDRED!"

[kniferunknown]

Also i thought the f6 has a boost gauge where the oil pressure meter is??? How come this one doesnt have one?? Sure this is an f6

[elv1smike]

boost gauge is usually in the fg's under the revs and oil should have been under the speed.

[jared9691]

i think thats oil temp under the speedo coz im pretty sure that the gauges r boost and oil pressure

[kniferunknown]

shit launch

[wogsterl67]

y so slow?? I thought it would fly. At least i gotta a chance off beating 1 with my s/c v6

[billybodybuilder]

Maybe coz it's a manual. By the time he clutches & chages gears , there goes a second !

The ZF 6-Speed auto in the same car much quicker. Runs 13.1 sec 1/4 mile off the showroom floor..but don't take my word for it , copy and paste below and see for yourself.

FPV F6 310 vs HSV R8 317

[headsex]

It IS a auto...

[billybodybuilder]

If it is , that is the slowest shifting auto i've ever seen in a modern car...

I thought it would have gone into 2nd much quicker , that's all ...

[PaulDog9]

Its all in the driver. Got to learn throttle control. 0-100 times aren't just full throttle.

[pranksterle]

an excellent point

[bradicul86]

@billybodybuilder mate read the header. its an auto. i've got to admit the ZF gearbox is one of the best out there but it takes control to use it properly.

[billybodybuilder]

@bradicul86 , yeah i've seen that mate , but still can't understand why it delayed for almost 1 sec to change into 2nd gear...

If that's the way the ZF operates then fine but that lag must put a dent in the 0-100 kmh times for sure. (it still won't stop me from buying an FG XR6T auto.)

[LiLMackaELi6]

lol your v6 would get smashed mate.

[frombris]

nah that didnt seem like he was pushing it fast it was too slow

[nlikos2007]

Why i cant beat XR6Turbo? My calais supercharged v6 cant beat XR6turbo.....

[GreendragonDMX1]

the supercharged V6 cant even beat a AU XR6 with VCT stock even with the supercharge it still lacks the torque and kw plus the extra kg's

[nlikos2007]

I think it same fast!

[Magnus016]

cause all holdens are shit

[c0lezy]

i timed 5.3 hmmm pretty quickk

[BAwithBALLS]

My modded FG XR6T does 4.3 0-100 on g tech ill put up some new vids when i get time.

[supersexyroybird]

fuck tahst gud

[tyzon00800]

looks like driving miss daisy

have a go man

[myvzss]

to me the xr6t appears to be faster ( from the vids ive seen)

[747turbowags]

due 2 smaller turbo, it does take off quicker

[billybodybuilder]

While i was in the States , i showed this & other Typhoon vids to a few PPL.

Their reaction was ...

WE FUCKING WANT ONE !!!

[jameslinton50]

hay it sounds like a manual ay! but its auto you hear the gear change into 2nd

[sirbogan]

i work at ford and they put a smaller rear housing on the turbo from the bf. they hit full boost fukin quick! tramp the gas at 100 in the dry and they spin the wheels

[Jimsa84]

Wrong. The put a smaller inducer on the FG XR6. The FG F6 remains the same as the BF. And no they don't spin at 100kph unless you have bald tyres

[sirbogan]

i heard that they used the smaller rear housing on the fg xr6t, and i assumed it was like previous models where the turbo is identical, just different boost levels. and they do crab at 100 in the dry, i work at ford and ive seen it done many times

[Jimsa84]

No, they don't! If you had cheese cutting 17inch 185's on the rear then maybe. 100kph in these cars is top of 2nd and into 3rd. I had to get mine up to 360rwkw to get it to power skid at 100kph!

[mdr279]

God you must be Ford's most uninformed employee. Spinning wheels at 100kph- yeh right.

[bbrla123]

they wheel spin at like 30k's, and it gets there that quick the turbo doesnt hav time to boost up you knob fuck, a fwd car on street tyres with a turbo is pointless, its like trying to drive on an ice rink

[Redblower]

you foul mouthed illiterate bottle shop attendant.

[Redblower]

The old turbo lag.

There are front wheel drives that can do better times sorry to say.

[BoostedXR6T]

6psi doesn't lag much. Over 12psi you start to feel the lag problem. If my ears don't deceive me, you can hear this car spin, almost off the mark. Thats without any boost yet. It comes on when he's doing about 40.

Your comment about FWD cars was a little strange(?). Of cause there are FWD cars that will beat this time. As there are other RWD cars. Light FWD cars can be formidable.

Usually FWD cars are a little lighter for starters. Take 100kg off any car and it makes a huge difference.

[Redblower]

My 380 does the same times with the same weight, same size engine.

Difference is supercharged.

Much better torque distribution with supercharging, just a 45 degree torque curve.

[BoostedXR6T]

I peeked at your youtube page. First things first....

1: Yours is not just a Mistsi 380 is it? It's a TMR380.

2: It's not the same power. This car is 310kw compared to your 230kw.

3: It's not the same weight. This car is 1815kg compared to yours at 1670kg. (Thats -145kg) The TMR380 picks up 1.5kw/kg over the FG.

4: Same times? Best wheels could do with the TMR, 7.6 seconds although yours does better in the low 6's. 400m times were abismall in the 15's which is very sad. FG F6...13's maybe?

[Redblower]

Nah...5.5 for a pro driver and , 5.6-5.8 for a mug like me.

A lot of people quote the Wheels mag time.

Fact is wheels never drove it, they drove the concept car....whick was a US galant chopped and welded.

A stock NA 380 does 7.5....LOL

[BoostedXR6T]

Thanks for that

Cheers

[BoostedXR6T]

Just to put my last post into persective, I'm not knocking the TMR. No way! Mitsi has stepped up and really delivered a car that has power potential.

Both Ford and Holden have SCT & VCM respectively. Can the TMR be further enhanced by computer editing. I'm asking cause I dont know.

I agree on supercharger v turbo. The former being nice and smooth without tearing your head off after every gear change.

I just wanted to clear up a couple of things about weight and power OK.

Cheers

[ZomgWatzMyName]

they barely have any turbo lag in the f6

[BoostedXR6T]

Hey I'm going to have a go at doing tis with my commodore

[frombris]

0-100 in 2.8!!!! did they come with neck braces as standard bloody hell what engine driveline do they pack?

[jared9691]

not as fast as the GTS it gets 4.9sec 0-100 and the F6 jus got 5.6 jus used stop watch on my ipod

[Memphis35]

Wow, 100% accuracy.

[d780c]

Okay I guess...

Bet you can't get it under six seconds without the stall though.

[jesusmouth]

Hahaha if you want to pick up gross ass fat ghetto Aussie bitches who have no teeth and kankles then go but a holden

[frombris]

firstly who compares a lambo to a bloody faultcon geez its like comparing a ferrari to a holden, ones a FAMILY car the other is pure race car closest thing to exotic cars from australia is the w427 with a s'charger ofcourse and v8 supercar suspension

[Rebalnomad]

no need for supercharger, makes almost as much power naturally aspirated. besides, its almost a direct comparison to a bmw m5. a real aussie comparison to the lambo/ferrari is the Joss Supercar. look it up ;) in the testing, it got 0-100 in 2.8 seconds... faster than any italian :D

[sodazman]

The W427 is not even close to a supercar imo. Supercars are built from the ground up and the W427 is just a normal clubsport with the 7lt LS7 Z06 Corvette engine. The Corvette weighs around 1400kg and the W427 weighs close to 2 tonnes.

[frombris]

mate all a 6.0ltr needs is a cam upgrade edit and exhaust and otr caim v8s all the way

[BoostedXR6T]

Hey frombris. Bought the car with exhaust and have since had a maf tune. Gone from 215rwkw to 250rwkw. Cam & OTE....320 circa

What I find impressive in these engines is the torque and how early it comes on. This car would chew my old XR6T to 70kph. But then it would be all over for the Commy . lol

Even the ppl that did the tune were impressed with the low-mid torque. So much so he is selling his VZ & buying a VE.

Other than the mags, mine looks bog stock. Lookout XR6T's lol......VRrooom

[Memphis35]

Why would someone become impressed with the performance of a FPV FG F6 and then go and buy a VE? Seems illogical.

[BoostedXR6T]

Theres more to it than that Memphis35.

The Falcon style (IMO) is old. Not much change in the FG since BA's from 2003. Which I don't blame them for. Holden do the same thing with some models. Look at VN's to VS's. Ran that body for 9 years.

I like them both. At the moment it's Holden. Cammed and tuned sounds awesome with similar power. A turbo just can't match that sound.

I might change back. Who knows?

Do your self a favor. Appreciate both. Then you have the best of both worlds.

[the4finger]

finally someone with a brain on these youtube vids!!  i couldn't agree more mate, if you don't take sides you can get the best of both worlds and get a cracker of a car regardless of the logo on it's bonnet

[BoostedXR6T]

Yeah its ppl that go on saying Fords are shit or Holdens are crap, I feel sorry for them. They are depriving themselves on some great vehicles made by their rivals.

I loved my Falcon. Being pushed to the back of the seat up to 120kph is aaaaawesome. Now I have just got my Commodore I will mod that too. The styling is so European. Love it. And its a V8 which will be a good starting point.

All I can say is this Ford / Holden debate is for the naive that will learn over time.

Cheers

[RCV891]

Couldn't agree with you more on that mate.

Both have there upsides and downsides. Personally, I've got my VN SS, love it to bits. Still get idiots in new cars (both Fords & Holdens) that want a challenge, but we're talking 20 year old technology versus new technology.

Still give them a run for there money though, it's all good.

[jaydnisevil]

Just seems odd, becuase iv been the a FG 310 with the ZF and didnt notice that at all. Granted the guy used sports mode and semi manual mode. Was that just in D?

[FalconXR6Turbo]

It's an auto.

Sports mode not used.

Left in "D" for "DRAG".

Firewall nailed from the start.

The thing has THAT much grunt that it just can't get it all to the ground unless you feed the power in. On this occassion it was let loose all at once.

[jaydnisevil]

Pretty certian that was a Manual. Too much of a drop off after gear change, Iv been in the auto and its unbelieveable

[Senninha1960]

ZF 6 spd auto mate, when the traction is on there is a pause between 1st and 2nd so the tires dont turn into liquid!

[BoostedXR6T]

A Lamborghini to a Falcon is like comparing an African Cheater to a fucking Galapagos Turtle. Hey....and I own a Falcon. Just cause it's 350kw means jack shit. It's still just a Falcon. A Lambo... 0 -100 in 3.4 seconds Top speed of over 350kph Made of Carbon Fibre Oh and 1 more thing ITS A FUCKING LAMBORGHINI A Falcon... IT'S A FUCKING FALCON I think I had to get that off my chest :)

[PaulDog9]

Eh BoostedXR6T your point is still very vague. A Falcon done up can pull those times have a look at Redcliffe Dyno's videos that thing will make a Lambo or even Bugatti Veyron squirm and cry.

[BoostedXR6T]

PaulDog9. I see your point. Honestly. But what you may have missed from mine is that a Falcon is just a family car where as a Lambo or the like is Euro sports heaven.

If ever I had the need to travel at 350kph, I don't think a Falcon would be my car of choice.

They (Falcon Turbos) are a formidable car. I have sold mine since and now own a VE Berlina 6.OL 6 spd auto. I just missed the V8 sound. Now I miss the power. Cam maybe? Stay tuned *lol*

Cheers mate

[BoostedXR6T]

Your comment...

"videos......will make a Lambo or even Bugatti Veyron squirm and cry."

According to wiki (so it must be true *lol*)A Veyron reaches 200KPH in 2.7 sec. Holy shit. You'd get in the car and it would be like...Hey hows yer lovely wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiife....uuuck me dead.

1/4 mile in 10.2sec? That seems a bit sad though.

Its not just about the 0-100 times but.

Not to take anything away from Redcliffe because I hear they do a great job

[jared9691]

its actually 0-100 in 2.7 not 0-200 and it goes 407km top speed

[ATY17yulleh]

Compared with a $150k bmw m3, this car has similar performance but at a much cheaper price. The only reason u need a lambo is if either ur wife is fucking the pool boy or ur dick is the size of an ant's leg.

[sodazman]

It's not even close to a Lambos in performance

but will give the STis and Evos a run for their money (in a straight line at least).

[HellRazraus]

costs no where near as much as a lambo?

[sodazman]

True, but you don't get the same prestige (aka female attention), power or handling either. As a daily driver, the F6 is definitely a bargain.

[HellRazraus]

true true

[LiLMackaELi6]

You could spend 20 grand more on the f6 mate, and make more power than the lambo. Lambos are wog rubbish buddy.

[Legothunder]

But a Lambo will still get you a chick. An F6 will just get you sweaty, smelly, drunk men. Which (unless you're a homo) would you rather have? As for performance for price, yer sure, just buy a W427 and pay $20k more to make it even faster than a Lambo. Plus, it's semi-chic pick up-able. The F6, ehhh, not so much.

[LiLMackaELi6]

If you require a nice car to get a chick mate, then you got problems :)

[sodazman]

The F6 is a great car but don't forget they're essentially it's a stock falcon (which are used as taxis) with a new body kit, boosted engine and upgraded suspension and brakes (and of course a few badges). Like an Sti or an Evo, it has no sex appeal but loads of fun.

[timbos99]

Mercs and BMW's are also used as taxis in Aus & europe.... So your saying its taken from the FG platform and built up with nearly all components different to a standard falcon? welcome to the world of modern cars, all manufacturers use standard platforms and then add to them! eg the zeta platform which makes lots of cars globally...

[Azza95452]

Yes Falcons are used as Taxi's... and correct me if I'm wrong but Taxi's are driven and driven and driven non stop... Falcon's are used as Taxi's because they last longer, they go tougher and they have a more advanced engine then what both the Commodore and the Aurion. But they're still the same price if not cheaper...

Oh not to mention the ZF 6spd Semi - Auto gear box... to of which you cannot feel gear changes... unlike Holden transmissions which make you headbutt the dashboard...

[Memphis35]

Commodore yes, Aurion no.

[BoostedXR6T]

"unlike Holden transmissions which make you headbutt the dashboard..."

My A6 doesn't.

[6438091]

@Azza95452 Sorry to reply to a year old comment, but fuckin win! Headbutt the dash. ROFL that made me lol. Thanks for some Ammunition against my Holden friends. Thumbs up!

[LiLMackaELi6]

Notice the lambos cost fucking 500 grand more twit, and i reckon these cars would beat STIs and evos on a track race.

[nlikos2007]

Wow! Quick! Probably beat lambo gallardo. Lol.

[c0lezy]

wtf that was slow

[RedXR4]

Yes, must be slow compared your Lancer/Corolla/whatever piece of shit you drive.

[sprogta]

the way i launch mine and the way they do it in all the mags,

if using a satallite based box you must also use handbrake to stop it creeping.

with foot on brake apply throttle to 2750RPM once ready release handbrake at the same time you must slowly remove foot of brake whilst apply heavier pressure on throttle. a few try's and you'll get the mix right. don't come of the brake and mash throttle big smoke time if you do. Mind you pretty fun.

FG F6 Auto 0-100=5.087 0-400=13.14

[11metcash]

13.1 stock yeh? I was a ford man converted to gen 3s recently and still am a V8 man at heart. But honest to God this is a true piece of machinery!!!!

Beautiful car bud!

[Trunka34]

that was 0-100 in 6 seconds he didnt stall it up

[1IiBLAHiI1]

it was just over 5 secs

[sfalconI6]

these things are WEAPONS!!!

theres one down my street and it got to 100 in about 4.8-4.9 secs... bloody quick

[myvzss]

im a holden man but the nw f6s are weapons , id love to get one (a bit to expensive for me at the moment haha gotta wait till the price drops in a few months)..nice car anyways mate.. i heard with a tune only these f6s get arounf 330-350 rwkw!!!!!

[koftas]

Dude , i've owned both Ford & Holden V8's in the past. It's time to make the change, the Aussie turbo is the way to go !

Who says you gotta get a Typhoon ?

For around $22,000 you can get a '07 BF XR6T with low K's, it has 245Kw stock (which is plenty),

If you want more, spend around $5,000 at CAPA, and you got over 350KW !

It would take a lot more $ to get that out of a V8 !

[vzcalaiskid]

The prices have dropped drastically.

[dimoszarek]

No Shit dude ! I plan to buy one in 2009, should be around 30,000. Maybe less, but i won't buy a GT or a Clubby, coz the Typhoon is quicker & more economical.

[jelecevic]

Hey you wouldn't even need to spend that much. An exhaust, airbox and 10psi tune will see you having 300rwkw easy.

[Grechieman]

that is bloody quick

[jymbo7]

Best i've pulled is a 5.17 so far. Using performance box. Is yours Auto? If so, did u manual shift or leave it in performance mode with traction on?

[FalconXR6Turbo]

Yeah. She's auto. And no, it was left in full auto mode with traction control on. Traction is a major issue in this thing!!!

[jymbo7]

Yeh. I've been trying different ways. Stalling it a little with traction on and P.Mode seems like a winner so far. Will be taking it to tooradin airfield this week to test her out properly.

[botchla90393]

lol cant imagine it with trac off...sounds like the wheels are starting to slip at the end of 1st gear lol!

[Timmeh75]

What was that 5 point something? Not bad.

[Bobman84]

Could have at least put the camera straight man :)

[SGD1982]

quick
