Street Fords magazine: FPV BOSS 335 GT dyno video 3

[mushy1983123]

No way there will run 12.3sec stock... Y does motor magazine , wheels magazine n ford them self get low 13sec out of it... All the ones that run low 12sec is with a tune n exhaust....

[mushy1983123]

theses figures a after tune.... n a 12.9sec isnt a very good time after tune n for 400+kw....

[TheDonsMonty]

@mushy1983123 That would be without a tune. They have run as low as 12.3 STOCK. With a tune, mid to low 11's. Not bad for a $1500 investment.

[adidas441]

ford has a shit chasie and they still run leaf springs and only 245 tyers all that power for what? i love the new fpv thery look tuff but ford is all abought power.its all about who has more power, more is better u think?not always the bmw m3 has only 309 kw and 400nm and its 3 seconds quicker than a c63 what has 336kw and 560 nm it all comes down to suspention and chasie

[Skitzo4747]

@adidas441 U obviously don't know any thing about Ford's, They only use leaf on there utes which is way better than coil, cause then u can actually put something other than you lunch box in the tray! and theres abit of a price difference between an m3 and a gt.

[Brikkyz]

I am a Ford man, i drive my Fords, i love my Fords and yes i have respect for the Holden product, but unlike a typical Holden fan, i made this decision for myself, not what my mates told me to do. My faith is even stronger now, long live the Coyote and may it bring domination and fear to those who oppose.

[woohooskater]

forced induction is everything.

[ssvturbo]

its funny what people say on the internet (what if) lol.

yes ford are bring out some good cars but if only holden would pick there act up and make a forced induction 6 or 8 it would be an even fight but ford seem to have the more power at the moment.

[davidhart0907]

wat a beast

[bvonroth]

Seems to be alot of Ford bashing by Holden fans on this video, you sure are an insecure bunch, can't understand why you would watch this video if it were only to add anti Ford comments, perhaps you should all just stick to what you know, being carried by and claiming credit for another makes design and production.

[bvonroth]

@VYSSII You too have compared apples to oranges, this level of power was made from a "FORD" 5.0l with a supercharger, your precious HSV has to use a 7.0l out of a different makes vehicle and a supercharger, hardly comparable. I bet if you slapped one of those gorgeous bow ties on the back it would add a further 15kws too.

[genderbenda04]

this is the beginning of the new age of Fords. bye holden.

[vsboy25]

that is a sik car.

[shufflerXTC]

love both holdens and fords, but no one will see the day holden makes their own engines why? simply because they are not smart enough to make their own ones, ohh and the zr1 engine stock does not produce 638hp its a heavily modified version of the LS3 and called it the LS9 so yeh

[mushy1983123]

people people... use say ford has the better motor n so on n if they make a 6l or 7l n so on all holden has 2 do is get the zr1 motor out of the corvette 638hp stock will smash anything that ford has on the market

[tallica1]

Pity that Ford has to go forced induction to get their v8's to produce good performance.

[upcetu]

@tallica1 Thats right mate, yet they keep forgetting about HSV clubby which has the walkinshaw supercharger option that pumps their v8's to 470kws, AND still being cheaper then fords new xr8.

What did they think holden cant supercharge their cars 2 haha

[bvonroth]

@tallica1 Pity that holden has to use engines out of other makes to get their cars to produce good performance.

Don't like Ford, don't watch the video, simple.

For that matter, why were you watching a Ford video? sick of being labeled a Commodore bogan?

[spoonilv]

what a load of shit, why not strap it down a bit harder you bunch of cockheads

[mike623030]

wow got to love all these holden lovers saying how good there 6-7L can smash a 5L sorry guys but if ford made a 6-7L engine hsv and all them would be blown out of the water and the mustang gt in usa is making 307 kw (non supercharged) i think?

should race a 5.0L ford ageist a 5.0L holden o no wont do that due to ford has more hp as the saying goes god made ford 1st then made holden 2nd for all the idoits and you guys are just back it up lmfao

[jcadlols]

@mike623030 With that argument, put a 5L normally aspirated Bmw against either of them. The old M5 has 373kw. That being said, ford is a lot better than holden in terms of power per liter of capacity. And a whole lot cheaper than a bmw. :)

[westeh]

@jcadlols With that arguement put a 12 inch dildo up your ass and cram it up there all night long until your asshole bleeds. Please upload the video..... kthnxbi

[jcadlols]

@westeh I'm sure you could find plenty on redtube to satisfy your desires. I'm not the person to ask. :)

[13cal13]

who cares about the couldabeens havin their little flame war! love the car and love your magazine! excellent job fellas!

[bobonnwoof]

@yugosloven1962 nice haha

[CROAT87]

The gt is back how it should be

[CROAT87]

Ford did a great job on the motor but even so drives well too I test drive a gts and just feel like a waste of money in my eyes ford done great this time and with a tune and good exhaust run mid 11s no problems save u alot off money if u try make a gts run the same times !!!!!

[UnCanadienFrancais]

DAMN WHY WE DONT HAVE THOSE IN CANADA !!!! I would have this and a Mustang !

[bobonnwoof]

ive been a holden fan since i was born. born and raised into a family who loved holden all the while mum owned a shell servo and dad owned a mobile servo anyhow i still like holden more but i wana convince dad to upgrade his SS ute for this beast

[zoso743E]

bring this car model to canada. and what is kw. north american fords suck. they have no hp

[botswanky]

Is anyone paying attention to the fact that this power is a moot point. The FG Falcon isn't able to harness the power, so who cares. Until there's a better chassis around that engine, it may as well be the old Boss piece of crap engine.

The worst part, is that FPV is trying to sell the base model GS for $55k, are they nuts? It rides like crap on its 19" rims, has bad tyre rumble & the interior is pure poverty pack, nor does it have sufficient brakes.

Maybe next time Ford...

[econo84]

@botswanky

you should take one for a test drive then, clearly you have not

[BrianDewy]

Guys, whats going on here, I and many others always was under the impression that any badged car whether it be Ford or Holden quoted flywheel KW not back tyres KW.

Surely Ford has not released a car the is now producing this much KW , because this means the Nm is also incorrect and then the gearbox will not handle it etc...

Surely Ford has set this up and tweaked something before handing out the car if not the government and authorities will jump all over it as they did in the 70's

I love it

[Erucolindo2010]

As a Holden fan, I am amazed at this car.  About time something put a rocket up Holden. They get complacent quite often - look at the VE2.

I think I may have been swayed to get one of the GS... Test drive here I come :D

[brazzr]

@Erucolindo2010 just get a walkinshaw r8, they got 470kw and 770nm of torque

[koringn]

@brazzr na they dont a mate got one straight from the dealer to the dyno it struggled to get 450kw

[brazzr]

@koringn at the wheels? cos the 470 is at the flywheel

[koringn]

@brazzr yeh mate at the wheels, its strange..

[sydneyfcanddascc]

@brazzr the new 5.8 l supercharged v8 in the stang gt500 has 485kw 812nm of torque

[Dawannabe123]

The Factory throttle body is set so the tune opens the throttle to 80% only. After

much testing we were able to take control of this function and force it to operate at

the desired 100%. FPV have used this function to limit the power output of the 5.0

lt engine.

Making 380-390rwkw tune only

[utubenz576]

which one u'd be better 335gt or e series 3

[Kairenga]

Wicked 5.0! But wait till Holden brings out their 9 litre LS123 it will be shit!

[mikldude]

regardless of what it makes , it goes well and sounds bloody good, its a desireable grand tourer/muscle car, and you`d have to say we are pretty lucky in oz with the cool selection of powerful utes, sedans from ford and holden.

[simstarino]

not bad for a mid 60grand car.....poor W427 owners....160grand out of pocket for an OMEGA that is only .1 second quicker then this GT 0-100km...and wait till you see this thing pull away from the W427 after the 400m sprint!

[the124Lscania]

@VYSSII IS THAT SO? i think ur dreamming, i had a ve gts 6.2 ltr, worst peice of shit ive ever owned!!! when i ran a stock fg xr6 turbo and that was neck and neck with my ve gts, i though wat a shit heap this ve gts is, not 2 mention the electrical probs, thirsty, axle tramping, in a nut shell, rubbish, now i own a FPV F6, its the best move ive ever did, the F6 is a total animal and a total package, and yes i was a massive holden fan until the VE series came out, top job ford, keep it up :)

[86iceblue]

@meonxtc - Mine had a standard rear end, aircon, full weight - (minus the spare).

But yes.. I would hope a car built in 2010 was a little more high-tech than a 1986 commodore. At the end of the day 500hp should leave black lines on the highway at 100km/h - sometimes traction control takes the fun out of driving a fast car.

[bronson4216]

@VYSSII you do understand that ford and holden have different size engines in there cars its a 5lt not a 6.2 or 7.0lt

[86iceblue]

510hp - and 12.9 seconds at 113.9 mph.

500hp in my old VL - 10.01 seconds at 134mph.

That ford needs to go on a diet. big time!

[mike623030]

@86iceblue lol there some xd-xe and 1 or 2 xf out that that will blow your vl out of the water lmfao

[86iceblue]

@mike623030 HA~! ... you must be the smartest man alive, nice one.

[14nedloh]

@VYSSII thank god there is atleast one smart person on here

[BAXR6BOSS]

Can someone please clarify, did this make 350rwkw STOCK??? I mean stock as a rock its pulling this power now is it? Im in the process of buying an FG F6 soon, but this video has got me thinking now...

[14nedloh]

@BAXR6BOSS it did not make 350rwkw at all, they dyno is dodgy obviously, the 328kw or whatever it was sounds more like it

[dreadly101]

whats this model code called? it's not still FG is it?

[whitewarrior999]

350 rwkw my ass.... my girlfriends barina would probly crack 200kw on that dyno

[whitewarrior999]

350 rwkw my ass.... my girlfriends barina would probly crack 200kw on that dyno

[kwpowerluva]

apparetley it lit the rears up on the wheels mag test car at 95kmph on the kick down change to second gear while auto was in performance mode on dry road, so it must have some punch. i got an fg6t and wld really like to drive this coyote. just wish ford wld spend some dosh on good suspension, dont get me wrong its comfy and easy to drift, but wld not keep with an r8 round a track, to much oversteer, they just love steppin sideways.

[potaka79]

its a great day to be a ford man...................sshhhhhh­hhh can anyone here any smack from hsv owner's.......no......... that's cause the gt just kicked the shit out them........"i just want one"... more like i just pissed on one.

[14nedloh]

@potaka79 dude its supercharged and can only just keep up with the gts? lets mention the W427??? ohhhh no sorry to upset you :)

[dreadly101]

bigger intercooler, wind up the boost flash tune, maybe injectors, fuel pump, fuel regulator, hmmmmm 500rwkws easy

[12frogz]

MY PANTS!!!! I JUST CREAMED THEM!!!!!

it sounds like a jet. HSV may have the tag ling 'i want one', for FORD fans and FPV alike, its more like 'i NEED one!!!'. to have that sound and power would be a drug

[VYXtreme]

Good result for a factory stock vehicle, a little tuning here an there and a few other little tricks n this model of car should be quite the thing.

[flyinpencil69]

this car reakky has all the goods. Great power and torque delivery, great sound to! Cant wait to see what the next updated gt will be like with wider rear tires and a bit stiffer suspension set up. The boss is back baby!

[LegoOctan]

This is the best engine ever to wear the Ford Badge!!!

[sjnd089]

is that place off Victoria ave? heard some mean fords on that dyno b4

[holdensareshitboxes]

go the fords

[BAXTSPRCHRGD]

Good old fFord bringing back the old days. Demolishing Holden and severely under quoting power figures. They said the xy gtho had 270hp, in reality 320hp xD

[PitCrewEMG]

@BAXTSPRCHRGD We're stoked with Ford's efforts! Holden fans will have to face a two-pronged attack soon enough with new cars like this and the 6-7 year old XR6T models getting into the hands of hard core racers who turn them into 8-10 second weapons.

[mikldude]

@BAXTSPRCHRGD i believe it was estimated to be closer to 380 hp, stocker was 300.

[BAXTSPRCHRGD]

@mikldude Nope they had 240kw and 240kw is 320hp

[mikldude]

@BAXTSPRCHRGD your mistaken mate RE:WIKIPEDIA1971 XY GT-HO Phase III produced an estimated 385 brake horsepower (287 kW), although Fords official figures for this motor were much lower , mate i was around in those days the stock XYGT was 300 hp the ph 3 was much more.

[BAXTSPRCHRGD]

@mikldude Wikipedia is always a reliable source.

[mikldude]

@BAXTSPRCHRGD  believe what you want mate, i`ve been a GT enthusiast for 36 years , those are correct figures.

[BAwithBALLS]

@mikldude i gotta agrree dude they were tested around 280kw

[vhalugin]

@BAXTSPRCHRGD I guess 335 badge is meant to be RWKW...

[ManagingDirector1]

The car looks so damn HOT in this video!

[superttrain]

if that is correct saying it has 469 rwhp that normally equalls a loss of 100 hp to the rears so that has 569 hp at the engine translate into kw is 420 kw rather than 335, it probably has that but ford has given a test car to use so they have obviously boosted it up , the normal ones probably will have more hp than is claimed but i think that figure is a bit extreme , we'll find out when we see more on the dyno

[SouthSwans]

Wankers! Dyno is calibrated to BULLS**Tmode!

[PitCrewEMG]

@SouthSwans actually we think it might be because of the way it is tied down. See the article in a forthcoming Street Fords issue for a full explanation why Gerry's dyno reported a slightly higher figure.

[LimitsExist]

if a 320rwkw BA xr6t does it in around 11.5 -12.5 how does this beast get 13's....

[Rollinfourlitre]

@LimitsExist 'Area under the curve', launch, setup etc. It's also just under 2000kg with a solidly built driver on board.

[LimitsExist]

@Rollinfourlitre yer a xr6t is around 1900kg with driver....most ppl i know have pulled 11's with almost stock suspension setup...just lowered springs..i do think this beast has potential though maybe a little tune could push it into the 11's easily

[PitCrewEMG]

@LimitsExist 12.9sec at 113.9mph actually, and it is the mph figure that is indicative of power. With the weight of the vehicle and driver, the mph on the Moroso slide rule indicates a flywheel horsepower figure of around 510-515hp

[XRRB6T]

Big number difference between the two dynos

[ido09s]

113mph doesnt tell me it makes that much power lol

[PitCrewEMG]

@ido09s 113.99mph. Vehicle weighs 1822kg and driver weighs 120kg. That is around 4300lb.

[mikldude]

its bloody good , but 11 sec 1/4 is a big call imo,

[genreaper]

Stick the damn thing on a Mainline, thats all i want to see :D

[stevesteve1983]

After these get sold to a few people, they get run in and launches etc get perfected, the ZF versions will be low 12's and maybe even an 11 second car! Performance to match my modified BFII XR6T on the 1/4, but with factory warranty.

Nice work FPV!

[stevesteve1983]

Oh and a nicer soundtrack...
