Sub 5 0-100 for a stock FG is awesome. Let alone with an extra person in the car and with nearly 200k kms on it. Just shows how good these were straight from the factory.

Thank you very much for the review Ross Reviews’ can’t wait for the next one. I’ll be uploading tomorrow between 5:30PM and 8:30PM. From Jordan’s car reviews.

That'll be worth more stock in times to come. 👍🇦🇺🍻

Absolutely spot on review of a stock standard example Jono, it really highlights how capable these things were when unmodified! It's a pity you can't buy these engines brand new anymore, but it has allowed a thriving aftermarket scene!

im SHOCKED it did 4.9! DAMN THATS QUICK!

Been looking at buying a stock turbo FG mark 2 for a while, kept thinking “wish he would review a stock one I need to know what I’m buying” so cheers mate! Keep up the good work

I remember when there was a lot of talk about the falcon getting an imported v6 engine and nobody would have a bar of it! It remember hearing about how efficient the intech was for it's capacity and further refinement was the plan as so much had been learnt and invested it made more sense. A stock example would be a like a museum exhibit now. That is a very nice example.

I've got a BA1 XR6T and BA2 F6 I bought new here in NZ, these FGs go so much better out the box. Just done a Pulsar GTX3582R upgrade on my mates FG2, goes way better now and the FG is also way easier to work on. Good cars. Also putting slotted rotors good pads and dot5 makes them stop well too.

Great to see one not messed around with, credit to the owner. The seating position is an interesting point, because Ford raised the centre console and arm rests (instead of fixing the real issue) it feels much different to a B series, I have both and don’t mind either way

Another great review. Love the turbo Barra. I see you on F6 owners on FB now. Good work Ross

Hey Johnny mate,what a dream car the Aussies had the perfect combo,Barra inline straight 6 turbo with the ZF box,we were the envy of the world she's fast stock & reliable & with just a few thousand more thrown into it can have her turn into an animal,is it perfect definitely not no car is but bang for buck it's hard to beat,people complaining you have too many Falcon reviews,well it doesn't bother me one bit I say keep em coming mate all day long lol,congrats hitting 29k subs & you already know I loved the review take care man cheers.

Had my FGII Turbo for 7 years now, love it. Bought her when she was only a year old, Kinetic Blue, bone stock engine, Bilsteins & slotted rotors (factory discs are rubbish), just chucked a set of Michelin PS4's on. Awesome car, time to retire her as a daily I reckon.

Man you did a perfect take-off that run was pure beauty and stock too. Unbelievable

the XR6 turbo is pure awesome, my dad has one, i learned to drive in it

Great video mate .would love if you could do review on holden 2009 ssv special edition (g8 pontiac)as i have one and love it .keep doing what your doing

4.97secs is pretty Impressive. There’s a lot of other domestic cars can’t replicate this. I’m guessing the rear tyres are in good nick and good quality.

Awesome vid Ross.

Great video mate. My dad has the same car just in petroleum grey with 160000 kms on it now. Every point you made is spot on. I love these generation of car, I think it has better styling than the FGX. Surprisingly fast 0-100 I was expecting ~5.6sec

I’m in Perth and i’ve got a completely stock 2009 G6E Turbo, would be really cool to compare both the stock XR6T and G6ET

I have a 2012 XR6 Falcon FG and I do love my car and was wondering how well it would do on your reviews. An old review but I’m fairly satisfied and hope to mod the car into an absolute beast in due time! My car obviously isn’t the 2013 turbo but it’s close enough hahah. Churr brother!

Watched a few of your videos but only just noticed the ta moko on your arm (Māori tattoo) I appreciate you representing my culture with pride brother ✊🏾

Great review bro ,and the baby 3576 spools up quick doesn't it lol 😉

Beautiful example in Swift! Keep them coming!

The price of these has just exploded... I doubt by the time I would be able to even grasp at one of these they just going to be way to unaffordable. I have a FG XR6 Ute but Turbos are just crazy expensive now. I guess the sayings true 'you will miss them when there gone.'

Funny , 3 yr ago I bought my f6 310 with 480 fwhp for $23 000 . I've spent $6k on it e85 multi pcm tune etc and now Shannons said it worth $65 k plus ! Still looks very stock !

Loved the test great result for a stock car.

Around 30k is about average for that sort of model with that amount of ks but they are so nice to drive , I had the g6e an now the g6e turbo 👌🏼👌🏼☺️ excellent cars

great video!

Another great review on a great car

I just recently got my Ls and my dad makes me go on your runs that you did in one of your videos in his xr6 turbo he would let me push it but the gear box is on its way out 🤣

I don't find the seating height in my G6E too bad, lots of adjustment available, the adjustable pedals make it even better! I am 6'5 and the wife is 5'4 and we both love driving it!

Finally someone talking about the FG uncomfortable seating position. The reason I swapped from FG to a bf MK2

Hey ross, could you please review a f6 fg sedan? I know you've already done one in ages ago but id love to see one now with your much improved format and quality of how you do the reviews now. Cheers

I have a FG-X XR6 Turbo and I'm keeping it stock. I believe it will go up in value more than a modified one. I do find the brakes are good enough when doing the speed limit.

America did have their own Xr6 Turbo in the form of the Taurus SHO and they were proper good cars. As good as a Xr6 Turbo, well I’m biased and saying no but they’re real close proper underrated cars

Nice car well looked after. I have a 2001 red manual xr6 ute. I still drive it more than my 1M

Mine is completely stock, just done over 100k k's. Its got the luxury pack, I still get a kick out of driving it from time to time.

I still want one. Just waiting on the 25 year law. The BA will be coming in 2027

Geez good job there! I tell you what if I could get into W.A tonight I would be making a call to that dealer and whacking down a holding deposit! I reckon that car would be a keeper! 👍

It's immaculate inside and out

Just to be clear we wanted all your sedans, respectfully

Top Car. Great Review

Hi Ross, will be in touch shortly mate. After watching this clip I have a question for you: what are your thoughts on Ford changing the turbo from the BF into the FG? I really like the Garrett GT35 and think they should have kept it on the FG line, however, I do understand why they went smaller (less turbo lag ect) Interested to hear your thoughts, cheers mate! - Andy

Nice and quiet too.

You can definitely see the old girl has been taken care of.

I'm missing my FG G6ET currently, have a Suzuki Baleno hire car as the TrueTRrack diff centre I had installed last year shat itself last week on my way to work.

FG Barra turbo, the torque monster ! 👍💪✌

My daily driver, exactly like that, just about to hit 200,000k, still goes strong.

i have a first registered April 2009 by me,one owner FG XR6T, totally original, except for the K&N Air filter; just reached134,500 km. all of the "usual suspects driveline & suspension bush's replaced. And remarkably, last time I was under it, still had the original part no barcode on the muffler. It is still the "Great Australian Road car" Ford promoted in the 1970's. Unfortunately, i lament there are so few places available to "let it have its head""find freedom " & just enjoy driving. 500 or 700km road trips seem to have disapeared from my life. The best I can do an early morning drive on a winding, hilly road, it's the best anti-depressant not provided by big Pharma.

I bought a 2008 brand new 37k so considering they r pulling 30 plus their definitely going up

I own a BA and an FG and the FG is superior in nearly every way imo. Styling is up to the individual but there's no arguing they improved in every other aspect.

4.9 good stuff looks like a nice car too

At 6'4 there's nothing wrong with the seating position, electric seat that drops it to the floor is good.

This XR6 Turbo stock has (270kw@crank) is getting quicker O-1OOkmh times than a Barra Turbo XR6 with 4OOkw@ Wheels because it's the perfect amount of power and torque that can be put to the ground. At 4OOrwkw it just fry's the rear tyres and will get a slower O-1OOkmh time but would be a weapon on the Motorway from 1OOkmh plus.💯

I've got a BA falcon man I keep banging my head when I get in the driver's seat is way too high I want a holden more headroom

Anyone here remember in nelson New Zealand that lime green XR6 turbo Ute that had the number plates something like "WLDXR6"....?? Apparently he spent 30k on the engine and it was insanely fast and this was back in around 2003 or 2004..

My mate was in WAPOL at Adelaide Tce when the Turbo's were part of the fleet but the bigwigs had to be told off for taking them out all the time and that they were for general duties use not for the big wigs to take to lunches etc.

Sadly Henry's HO in Detroit wanted this gone as quickly as possible, they wanted to push their own vehicles. What a superstar car it was for bang for buck

I owned an xr50turbo Ute from new ( 50th anniversary) it was a great engine and an ordinary car. The seats were too high and the 19inch rims with 30 series tyres were uncomfortable and noisy. I sold it with 35,000 k on the clock and have never missed it. Lots of fun at the start, but as a every day car it wore me down.

This car is perfect for me

I agree that you won't see another engine like this made again. It really is unique, more like a truck engine in a car!

A great motoring mag once said the XR6 Turbo was better than it had a right to be

I own the same car and same color, except I snagged the limited edition which comes with all leather interior. Currently got it pushing 415kw as my daily. Might put it in storage bc every k' I put on it I feel so bad. Great video guys

I drive a ve sv6 rn but the second i get my full license im getting an xr6 turbo

Could you swap the drive train with a focus to make a more compact rwd sedan?

Mint. 👌👍

I'll stick with my '13 G6E Turbo with the full cream leather interior and Emperor (Red) Exterior thanks.

Hey so I'm a fan of your channel but I've been looking for a car an extremely reliable one I can't sacrifice the reliability but I can choose between all the ford falcon and the Holden cars since they aren't in my country , especially with minimal information on these I can't know the best one between the v8s or just the bearers. I'm in Africa Kenya and Even though I'm looking for a lasting car because for me I definitely don't want to sacrifice longevity even though the bearers or the v8s still have good performance I don't want to sacrifice reliability since I'm in Africa and the conditions are somewhat similar to Australia where the land cruiser dominates but I'm not into the SUVs since I'm young so if you could really help I'll be glad . Ooh and the mods I'll be running are maybe the suspension mods wheels breaks and maybe stuff to support the turbo to make it more reliable , and out of these if there is a wagon in there I would not mind

I’m sad we don’t have super sedans like these in the states

My dad had a non 2013 xr6 turbo

Bloody hell watching this and then Adam lz Barra mustang you would think it's a different motor lol

Best 6 cyl engine in the world by far!!

Great review,just not my choice in colour combination

I’ve got those mags on my ba

Mint fg xr6 torbo

This and the mustangs are the only fords id buy!

I have a 2003 ba xr6 turbo non modified is that rare ?

It must be so god damn hard not to put a exuast or a intake or wheels suspension or just something

Had a MASSIVE problem with oil feed to the Turbo! Where the oil feed comes out from the block there is a very fine gauze filter which WILL clog up which leads to destruction of the Turbo. Needs that gauze filter to be removed and a new oil line with an inline oil filter to be vfitted!!There is NO mention of this gauze filter in the Service Manual as the Turbo and other Modifications were done by FPV. CHECK!!

I was just looking at Carsale at this very vehicle about an hour ago and this popped up. Shame it was all the way in WA.

Wish you talked about the sound/exhaust system stock tho. Imo disappointing for a fast af stock car

What the hell, I expected high 5s 😆😆 it smokes the N/a with the tune and everything

I have a 100% stock G6E Turbo 88k on the clock if you would like to review in QLD ?

Just goes to show what the mustang and other US cars could have been. They needed to turf them eco poos in the skip and adopted the barra and boy that would have kept the coyote honest.

The 4 litre has come far since the old 250 crossflow

If this guy was Australian I would have subed

We have an impostor among us 😂 Will the real Ross please stand up

I said that the series 1 looks better in the last video, but the series 2 doesn't look bad either... Depends which colour I guess...

There's a FG MK2 xr6t Manual on carsales with only 36,000ks for $42,000. I really want to buy it.

I thought ZF boxes had a ZF badge, or badge of some sort on the shifter?

"Just how good is the Aussie legend" yeah mate I know the ss commodore is bloody beautiful

my aunty went from a ba to an fg and she prfers the ba seating too

good value the old ford 4 ltr six.even without a turbo,just stick a 4 speed gearbox behind it. yahoo!!!

Go the au .

Converting a na to a turbo doesn't seem that easy (see video on this on adtube) so the turbo Falcons are getting pricey and rare.

Has this sold already?

For any American viewers, that engine has 103,726 MILES on it !!

Could you repeat the 4.9? That's seems way to good to be real for a stock XR6 turbo...

Just goes to show how quick a stock car is. Modded cars are nice but the Falcons chassis is pretty much at the limit with the FG.

a decent negative slope on that 0-100 run, but it would probably still pull 5.0 or 5.1 on a perfectly flat road
