Wild 9sec Falcon has trouble going around corners

[lloydrmc]

Yes, it is a Falcon, and it looks like it's running a spool=no differential action.

[ezas1232jz]

Bullshit contact path and 0° camber and suspension, nothing to do with the locker..

[MingXu1971]

he ruined the car, why must people do these mods to classics. fuck him and drag racing

[kain161718]

@MingXu1971 cause theres a fuck load of them around

[anthony1bad351]

351c?

[23chopperrob]

 its a drag car not a sport impact

[TheCHEVYNATOR]

Not a good point.They make set ups for these cars for road racing.This car is obviously set up for the 1/4 mile.Those civics with the huge slicks on the front arent good in corners either.Neither are cars with hydrallics and trucks with 11 inch lifts.

[Leowen2]

Can you imagine these events when we run out of the fossil fuels.

[DPense]

i was wondering if it was ever gonna hook up

[hasnachos]

throw some weights in the back.

[red1950stude]

curious, it looks like to me, it's set up to go straight real fast. What set up do you have in the back that doesn't like turning?

[austinyoung300ex]

i bet if you put some street tires and wheels on it mess with the suspension you could get it too drift idk bout staying stuck to the ground though she looks like shes got some horse poopy. but then youd have to adjust it all to drag race again and thats no fun.

[Raifo92]

It is a locked differential. Good for drag because no power is lost to one wheel, but bad for corners, as the inside wheel cannot decelerate, and the outside cannot accelerate respectively.

[brandon6pk]

so why is doing this with a drag car anyways? what did everybody think was ganna happen?

[emceeL]

lol the engine and tyres made the chassis look like a little bitch

[GetsumJ]

That's why I put my steering wheel on the left. Fixed the problem

[tweeny55]

Looks fine to me...the car is a soul purpose toy built to do one thing well which is go like fook in a straight line..which means you compromise or give up on having anything else,may as well take an elephant ballet dancing than expect this car to drift...top car.

[dancono1]

The car just wanted to take a wiz and cocked his hind wheel ;)

[1stand4thgen]

Thats what you call too much torque.

[howlinblues]

ITs WHAT U CALL A wee lill mouse moter in it 351 cubic inch mmm bring on the BIG BAD ASS ... RAT MOTERS... any thing over 400 cubic in

[brapboys503]

His diff is obviously fully locked and his dumb ass is trying to autocross it. What exactly did he think was going to happen? That's what I'm wondering.

[humvee600]

looks more like a holden monaro

[momodragon]

thats a really bad chassis

and the slicks are prolly now helping to lol

[NoOdL3z18]

Sweet car, just some bad suspension. 

[blownhemi]

@NoOdL3z18

Not really bad, just wrong for this.

[Emeianoite]

@NoOdL3z18 It's not bad suspension... it's soft because it's a drag, you WANT all the weight to travel back to increase grip on launch. That's a little knowledge for you.

[BooneDoomer]

That thing is RIGID now.



[makjac46]

Nice car, American parent company, Australian design and build. It's called a Ford GTHO Falcon. Phase 3. Yes, it had leaf springs, but it was the cheapest performance road legal car on Australian roads in it's time. Before you criticize, look it up. Solid, powerful, and one of the most sort after cars by collectors and enthusiasts. God, I wish I had one!

[fasefour]

@makjac46 aint a phase three either

[ae70gts]

its a DRAG set up

what do you expect?

its like trying to drift with a front wheel car..

it will drift but it will look stupid mate...

[Shuffle3956]

you kno ur driving an american car when...

[tKBurek]

its because of the leaf-spring suspension..

[mike623030]

lol @ this people think it a AMERICAN car look up a xw or xy falcon and you will see it was a 1970 aussie car sorry guys but not only american's build v8's

[n1u2t3z4]

AMERICAN CAR FOR THE WIN!!!!! my fart-can civic can turn better than this! IT DOESNT EVEN HAVE WHEELS!!!! XD

[MrKayakFisho]

@n1u2t3z4 Mate, this is an AUSTRALIAN CAR, the body shape you yanks use was based off this. 

[n1u2t3z4]

@MrKayakFisho thanks for giving americans the idea to make useless straight line driving cars :(

[MrKayakFisho]

@n1u2t3z4 I prefer drifting over drag racing, but still your comment was wrong in saying this is a yank car.

[GwoodBloodz]

@MrKayakFisho Australians are stupid

[Turnernator]

@GwoodBloodz Not as stupid as Americans atleast.

[j12131213]

its called a locked rear end haha. but why does everyone have to be so bitchy on video posts. if you dont like the video its simple. DONT WATCH IT. sick car and sick video brotha.

[hazem203]

What'd u expect from an american car? not shitty handling? yeah right, keep dreamin

[asdfghjklkjhgfdsa555]

@hazem203 its not an american car

[hazem203]

@asdfghjklkjhgfdsa555 then what is it smartass? italian? thats just as bad anyway

[asdfghjklkjhgfdsa555]

@hazem203 Australian fuckhead

[CalypsoNotch408]

@hazem203 It's a purpose built drag car you ignorant piece of shit. What will you ask next? Why a prius doesn't accelerate to 100 fast enough? Idiot.

[Dasithkg]

so where is the "Corner"?

[Dasithkg]

@hazem203 i have never been to America... not even close to that continent... way to go buddy... you sure showed everybody your ignorance.

[sikantwixxsted]

that is a stiff ass frame.

[wrg1183]

That's not a Falcon.

[blownhemi]

@wrg1183

It's not? What is it then?

[Armixs]

@blownhemi toyota prius

[callum853]

@blownhemi its a phase 3 gtho

[produKtNZ]

@blownhemi Well, it's missing feathers for starters :P

[irarawkstarr]

@blownhemi It's not a falcon, it's a car... Falcons are birds, duh...

[LimitlessAeon619]

@irarawkstarr

Good point.

[deanxleong]

@blownhemi a millenium falcon. 

[Lacross523]

@blownhemi its a car u idiot, a falcon is a bird trololol

[zchris87v]

@wrg1183 You're right, definitely not a Ford Falcon XW GT.

[mopar2dr]

@wrg1183 Yes it is a Falcon!, 1969-70 Ford XW Ford Falcon.

[Gibsonibanez4ever]

@wrg1183 Get your facts straight before being a smartass...

[DrifterAJR]

@wrg1183 r u retarded?

[fasefour]

@wrg1183 i wana know as well

[krackadooinc]

@wrg1183 r u crazy?

[unitednudistmop]

@wrg1183 retard alert

[wrg1183]

@unitednudistmop Thanks for alerting us to your presence.

[unitednudistmop]

@wrg1183 no wuckas brah

its my job to annouce all retarts on teh internet so everyone can see

[AsinineComment]

And there ends the lesson in why dragging and it's enthusiasts are inane. (that is for those of you who hadn't already figured out this bit of 'rocket science'...)

[fadedgotjaded]

falcon FLIP

[z06camaro]

thats what you call a SOLID DIFF! haha

[applelusciouss]

1964 ford falcon? eeerrrrrr...i know its a stupid question

[ryansiki]

It's takes skill and passion to build and drive a 9 second car.

[laptoph4x]

a solid rear with a locker or welded gears will do that....

[HFLanciaStratos]

Jesus fuck, look at that chassis twist.

[samandllamas]

this is where the muscle/import flame war should be settled.

import own corners

muscle owns strait runways

[Leafsrule016]

@samandllamas actually, its a 9 second drag car with little to no suspension and barely any steering which is designed to make it faster in straight aways. its definatly not a stock road car and also imports dont own anything. People compare a gtr to a regular old mustang gt but get some real american cars like cobras or vettes and you'll see what owns not only corners but straight aways and its definatly not jap.

[MakuthePOtHead]

@Leafsrule016 yeah its not jap ! Its european supercars !

[0187Koffi]

@samandllamas err if you setup any car for a drag strip with et streets and front runners and a locker with drag suspension its going to do this or something very similar to it. its a lame ongoing argument on youtube that cant be won as theres always a car and a video somewhere thats doing something better. Just depends how its built

[fj40chriso]

It's an aussie car firstly and secondly not many 9 second vehicle's made over 30 years ago go around corner's like a sport's car, they did track race them back when they were made though, look up some old bathurst footage

[revinkevn]

It's a 4-door. If I knew that I wouldn't have clicked if it was a 6 second car.

[Nvidiamaster123]

american car...nothing new lol

[1979bsav]

@Nvidiamaster123 american huh..you sure know your stuff pal.

[Nvidiamaster123]

@Nvidiamaster123 yes american! it still has a shitty ford engine and drivetrain therefore american!

[gidychi]

@Nvidiamaster123 american hey ?

[Jak3Mac]

All American cars have trouble going round corners.

[aholco]

@Jak3Mac That is just simply a fucking ignorant statement, you fool!

[95115964]

@Jak3Mac

u r right

[TVRnGTR]

@Jak3Mac but this is australian

[Breatherable]

Locked Diff for Drag racing makes tight cornering a bit iffy, horses for courses. How do you get a Prius down to 20 sec? major work i reckon......

[magnificent10304]

lol but it must be crazy cuz he was spinnin the tires so much, justa touch of the throttle spins the wheels,

[P2DAPIPE]

FAIL

[mydogzty]

would the camber agnle and toe and front caster have something to do with the bad cornering?

[zerohunter64]

@mydogzty nope... it has to do with soemthing like rear wheels big enought to get the power in becuz if it had camber etc etc the car would be a sliding machine

[nathanmakings]

Bloody Beautiful XW Flacon. yes it cant corner.... who cares get over it. Admire a great australian muscle car doing what they do best (the quarter mile)

[sydepipez]

I just respect the fact that a four-door was made to be this badass.

[hannes32hannes]

Aaaah... I love the sound of V8 in the morning!

[josieonetoothh]

idiot...

[R34GTRR35]

tank slapper ouch

[saucecakes]

This car gets more body roll than my Toyota.

[iNFAMOUSBIGC]

lol dam . literally smoked that mustang @ 0:09

[tmangt1]

Ma Sisters Civic Would Go Faster Round That Corner..

[TheCave351]

@tmangt1 haha, its a civic mate, u dont get a say..

[zoblatski1]

@tmangt1 ya but it would get left with the dust on a straight, don't talk so big a Honda is nothing special

[tmangt1]

@zoblatski1 2 things. First, my sister doesn't own a civic anymore.

2nd, i know. It was a joke.

[zoblatski1]

@tmangt1 lol not a very funny one xD

[albfire]

not jst a 9sec car. but i rkn if he had thinner wheels, would of spun around mch eazier

[paulohvsantos]

Parece um opala 71

[ERIK000000000]

How bout a drift? XD

[oso711]

9 sec? never!

[fabiofloripa159]

What a nice thing.. I just discovered that this car was made in brazil for years with another name.. here they call opala first gen. 6cc, very strong car for that old days. I am sure opala is an variant of falcon.

[68SSCAM]

I don't like watching that, it looks like the car is gonna break

[3teethleft]

that chassis is made of gum. 

[thelyran]

@3teethleft No,they don't have chassis,in Australia,only commercial vehicles,they run quarter chassis up front and a sub-frame usually.In alot of instances,Aussie cars are better than the American counter-parts,with smaller engines,power to weight advantage and USUALLY go around corners better than that.That XW GT,could be an original,therefore,no bigger than 5.8 litres,or a 351,I think it's a Windsor and not a Cleveland....but hell,I'm a Holden fan.HR Puff and Stuff...

[P0wergl1de]

lol thats bitchin, don't those lowrider fans call that 3 wheel motion? nevermind the haters cool vid and cool car bud.

[laydoutdyme]

@P0wergl1de That's considered a dog leg... 3 wheel is front wheel in the air, dog leg is back wheel in the air... You know, like a dog pissin lol

[Americanrebel13]

probly got a spool

[kiminicooper1]

locked rear axle?

[Guizmo900]

@Beamster420 Gimme the money. Just to say that it's possible dumb. Look around youtube you'll see

[saintluke87]

@MrFuckusa Is it tough living with little man syndrome?

[rtsoccerplayer]

lol wow that's sad

[raudeltovar]

come on guys anybody can see that the rear tires are way to fat and the car is too small so its too light in the back..... try putting sum smaller tires next time and ull do great

[xXNukeMeXx]

Take the outside corner of the turn then floor it and push the clutch half way in let off the clutch and take off

youll take the corner way quicker

[Gavyn84]

Trick and Mansweto FTW, NA power.

[thekidguitarest]

you people are fucking idiots.. the car isn't set up to go around corners just like your car isn't set up to run 9 second quarters dickhead

[Guizmo900]

@thekidguitarest Hum hm, I can get a Supra that make it in 9 seconds and that can beat every motherfucker on a track!

[thekidguitarest]

@Guizmo900 but whats the supra gonna be worth in 20 years time? just another plastic rice burner

[Guizmo900]

@thekidguitarest Supra are already 20 years old and are still the shit!

[MrYoanEmond]

@thekidguitarest Street car, it needs to turn...

[thekidguitarest]

@MrYoanEmond theres no competitions on how fast you can go around a track on the street

[MrYoanEmond]

@thekidguitarest It says it is street driven in the video description.

[iloveheavymetal1]

@thekidguitarest much love and respect for you after that comment.

[Gahddahffi]

You would think the owner would know how to handle his own performance car..

[FoxBodyMike87]

@Gahddahffi your fucking stupid

[Jaxon0098]

new suspension would prolly fix it.

[MrTr0llol]

yea leave the handling and the agility to the non american cars.

[harrymerrett]

@MrTr0llol

australian car buddy

[MrTr0llol]

@harrymerrett even worse

[ReneeNme]

@MrTr0llol Do WHAT ?? watch?v=pjqJRNsKkao

[MrTr0llol]

@ReneeNme shitty cars drift...proper cars won't get sloppy around the turn and hold grip....u fail.

[ReneeNme]

@MrTr0llol Shitty cars drift ? Um, there are literally HUNDREDS of videos of non american cars drifting posted on YouTube. ( pats MrTr0llol on top of the noggin' ) It's okay young 'un, keep flailing

[MrTr0llol]

@ReneeNme sorry good cars are hard to throw out of balance...while shit cars are easier...... u dumb old fuck.

[drh1111]

Dragsters are designed to drag race, not drifting. Of course it won't go around corners good.

[sharky308]

hahaha wtf fuk uz r random mofs stoned reading thiz shit is almost az gud az the burnouts kant bet them bt shit hahaha

[pozzie1968]

i love youtube its comments are very funny:D

[chevyman8329]

this is why we use sway bars !! haha

[Clickheelsthreetimes]

I think its hilarious all the childish smack talk on these videos, All cars are unique, this one was setup for 1/4 mile drag, or 0-400 M drag if youre not a yankie. But the plain fact is this car wasnt setup for cornering, it was set to launch. Cudos to the owner on such a sweet ride, but to sit here and talk shit about this car is purley immature.

[MrMlucas18]

you never use brakes in a turn, what a tard

[Clickheelsthreetimes]

@MrMlucas18 It depends on the car, corner, and brake setup. To commit oversteer in a AWD car you hit the brakes slightly after commiting the car to the turn. Never ever do this in a FWD car, you'll understeer horribly, in a RWD car the tact is the same but you feather the accelerator to balance the oversteer, but no, you are right, typically its a bad idea to brake THROUGH a corner. This guy in the video was probably not used to all that body roll, and panic ensued for a second. Me thinks.

[MrMlucas18]

@Clickheelsthreetimes you know dude i never really thought about it that way but since you mentioned it it makes more since lol , thanks bud :)

[coltsuperocean10]

.................hahahahahaha yank cars are fucking shit!! They really can not go around corners!! They are awful handling cars!! OK if you are a retarded redneck sick bastard manfucker!! hahahaha you sick bastard banjo playing cocksucking dickheads!! Yank retards are are stupid fuckwits!! Period!

[BogusBoy2121]

@coltsuperocean10 Go along now little boy,hand the computer back to Mummy and Daddy you silly little prat!Lets see how fucking big you are when you are not hiding behind your Mummys and Daddys Keyboard!

I bet your a grey faced pencil necked little fockin weed!!

[coltsuperocean10]

@BogusBoy2121 ....hahahahaha sad retarded yank twat!! Does the truth hurt!! hahahaha what an asshole!!

[speedcrazy94]

@coltsuperocean10 LOL you've never seen a pro touring car...those things run 10s all day PLUS they can run speeds up to 220 mph on a large road course and 120 on a small one...one street tires. and last time i checked "fuckwit" wasn't a word. at least you got the other adjectives down pat.

[chevlumina]

@coltsuperocean10 actually, the car was built for the quarter mile and runs 9's. And maybe you havent seen cars like the Viper ACR and Corvette Zr1. Oh, and a Mustang beat a BMW M3 on our Laguna Seca track

[BogusBoy2121]

@coltsuperocean10 Im a Redneck and proud to be one!Id also be proud to knock everyone of your teeth out from your pancake faced man bitch face! Go on bastard make a fockin date you pig fucker!

[coltsuperocean10]

@BogusBoy2121 hahahahaha now you are asking me for a date?? You sure your boyfriend wont get jealous? Hahahahahaha

[samiurrahmanshah]

Sticky drag radials and spool rear end <--- there's your problem

[adghno]

dat video is fukn stupid i regret watchn it

[Listerfiend808]

Ha!

[doble1234]

get some strut braces

[Unicron6]

Not bad for a street driven car? This video seems to be telling us "DO NOT DRIVE THIS CAR ON THE FUCKING STREET!"

[escort2dr]

Wow so many experts on why it doesnt corner lol 

[UndefeatedAutomotive]

These guys are gun engine builders! that things does 9sec na!! hes a top bloke and go Trick&Manswetto..also won biggest hp Na small block. in the dyno comps.. Dam people be jealous and sound like Dk heads sometimes!!lol

[chevygearhead454]

I'm pretty sure any falcon has trouble with corners

[RedemtionInABox]

its called a brake...

[pnskbk]

that's a stiff chassis.

[wilsonhill12]

classic american car :P im american btw.

[xXxXJaRRoDXxXx]

@wilsonhill12 It's Australian btw

[wilsonhill12]

@xXxXJaRRoDXxXx made by an american company

[xXxXJaRRoDXxXx]

@wilsonhill12 Its made by FORD AUSTRALIA(completly different cars to american fords), designed and built here, for australians by australians 

[wilsonhill12]

@xXxXJaRRoDXxXx ford falcons were first designed and driven in america

[xXxXJaRRoDXxXx]

@wilsonhill12 yeah, FORD AUSTRALIA is a completly differnt thing, and even so they most were different and you didn't have these. also ford falcons are still going in australia.

[freestyla101]

@wilsonhill12 yeah show me one in america
