PlaydayWEEK 09 Ruapuna STI RA chase Ford Falcon

A bit of fun on road tyres chasing a Falcon. Not sure what it was, but it had a front mount and was quick! My 5th is too tall to stay in front heh

You must have some mods on your car to go that Falcon a good run for its money?

couple of backyard style mods yeah..~200kw atw so mostly a weight and traction advantage. i had seconds on the ford over a whole lap but as you can see on the straight nothing beats pure grunt

Gotta say that was good driving by the Falcon man

[nsarge2001]

yeah he was doing alright to keep it on the track.. was spinning up the rears out of most corners :)

Nice one.

[wangavegas1]

Well I gotta give credit where its due you drove really well in considreation to the disparity in power against the Ford Falcon

[wangavegas1]

The Force 6 only came out in tiptronic auto so goes to show that the ZF six speed gear boxes are good on the road and the track

I am gathering it was an FPV club member as I know the Wellington crew were in Fielding that day?

Nah mate thats a Force6 they have the F6 Typhoon engine as standard, which gives them 370Hp and 550nm of torque sitting on 19 inch feet. The Force6 was developed with the Fairmont interior. They are seriously quick as I have sat in one doing over 250km and we ran out of straight. There were 3 big guys in the car so it was hauling nerly 400kg payload.
