I had a woman about 30 return one the other day who looked very feminine, attractive and dainty who announced as she handed the keys back to an XR6 "I love it, we need these in America, you can't beat cubic inches" hahaha
Its to stop people reving hard in neutral and flicking it in "drive" and smoking the rear wheels and stressing the drivetrain with the sudden burst of power
hey mate what have you done to the exhaust system or induction set up coz i have a FG XR6T and it does not crackle like yours have you had the centre muffler removed?
Tiptronic is Porsche's name for it. Ford calls it a Sequential Sports Shift. And yes it is. When I drive it I always use that, I don't like automatics myself.
Its official price including on road costs is about $63,000. We got it brand new from the factory for $47,500 + $1,800 for the XR8 wheels. They were pretty desperate to sell the 2008 stock.
have never seen them around and i never understood why, especially when i lived in North America. I figured they would be so popular between the falcon and Holden's line up too. (altho i suppose GM turned one into the Pontiac GTO)I'm more a Ford fan tho myself :P Great cars tho, and i love the XR8's too. It's hard to beat a nice V8 sound :)gotta run mate, thanks again!
I work for a major car rental brand with a fleet of these here in Oz......we usually get comments from American tourists like "wow! Fantastic, these woudl sell well in the US"...."whey the hell doesn't Ford America sell these..I would drive it"..."you guys are lucky we have the front wheel drive Taurus...you have a rear wheeled straight 6, it's not fair". It makes them even more jealous when you tell them about FPV!! haha.
yea... too bad Ford Australia is gonna stop makin the Falcon and import Americas crap due to the enviroment, production cost and making a "global" company by having the same cars all round the world
If you put it in park and keep handbrake on you can hit standard driving limiter. Neutral limits early. Post another video of it in park.

that a bit strange u can only rev it to 3000 in nuetral... i assume its to protect various bits and pieces in the engine? fuel economy? bit confusing

@KITT1992 some dickhead nuetral bash it so ford added that so u cant damage the gearbox too much and diff
CROAT87 11 months ago
no its to protect the gearbox, so you dont rev it to 6000rpm and drop it in drive, you can rev it passed 3000rpm in park

haha wow that was quick! Can i ask how much one of those sells for now? Has the big drop with Ford sales over in america effected prices over there?

KITT1992 3 years ago
