You got to love the poor old girl. She tried her best. Still an iconic aussie Ford. So underrated. That may change in a decade.

Comment your 0-100 Guesses before the video goes live tmr to win a merch pack :)

Be cool to see a chart with the 0-100 times of all the cars you did from fastest to slowest 👍🏼

yikes didn't realise how much slower the old LPG intechs were than the petrol ones....

It was that moment it hit 60kph is when I knew my guess was way off haha. Bloody entertaining video Jon cheers. Mate the lack of balls on these things just added 100 respect points to them crazy cunce in the mhc how they drift these things at highway speeds is a bloody talent that should be an Olympic sport.

Can’t wait for the video Ross Reviews, I’m guessing the 0 to 100 time is 11 seconds. Can’t wait for the premiere. From Jordan’s car reviews.

Nice work 👍

I remember using the odd taxi in Sydney, but it was the mid to late 90s Falcon models.

The trick to going faster than the 220 on the clock is you punch it in petrol till it hits the point where it feels gutless AND THEN you keep your foot to the floor and press the lpg button. The cold gas and higher octane pumped into your engine at max ratio is like a 10second hit of nitro. Idk how fast I went but it was past the 220km. I remember it gutting out about 160 and then swapping to gas went from 160 to 220 faster than it went from 80-160. Idk what everyone else was doing with their Aus when they were 18.. use this method and the car was average slug equipped with like 80L of nitro lmao. (Only worth getting the dual tank au tho)

The AU got a higher geared diff ratio than it's predecessor. That allows sub 2000rpm at 110km/h and a nice linear burst of power in first gear. Try the EF or EL which both have 157kw motors on petrol but with a higher acceleration diff ratio and you can feel it!

John/Jean Pierre Mouawad’s Mercedes Benz C63S AMG catches fire 🔥 on Marks street Chester Hill Sydney NSW at 2:50.

Far out 🤣 I said 9.3... making my 01 pulsar look fast 🤣

“So slow” your facials told us different hahah

Damn I shouldve entered the lil competition. Guessed 12 seconds ( brought it down from 16 because 18 would be quarter time ) and what does it do straight off the bat!? Haha Love your content mate, look forward to the new videos as they come out 👌

Good old BBQ gas 🤙

Íts all about gear ratio and diff ratio. Since you really can't change the gearbox ratio (as there is no difference between LPG and petrol versions) the only choice is to change the diff ratio which can be easily done (well you know by someone that knows what they are doing and had the needed equipment to do it). There is another catch, EB II, ED, EF & EL XR6 rear diff won't work as Ford change the diff housing for AU. Since this AU is a live axle based RWD the only AU XR6 option is the XR6 HP which Tickford did develop for Series I and Series II, I don't think there was a Series III XR6 HP (I could be wrong but I seem to recall the Series III were IRS). Standard Forte, Futura & Fairmont were fitted with 3.08:1 diff ratio the XR6 HP has 3.45:1 (same as the IRS VCT, XR8 while all other AU IRS (Fairmont Ghia or Forte/Fairmont or V8 spec had 3.23:1 diff ratio. The effect of using a shorter diff ratio will lower all 4 forward gears so instead of shifting fromm1st to 2nd at 75km/h the transmission will shift at let's say 60km/h however the downside is criusing speed as you know by now 110km/h is about 1,800rpm.thay will will change to around 2,200rpm which is still fine but fuel economy will suffer at highway speeds. Other things you can do are air filter, spark plugs and leads, use full synthetic oil and also do a transmission service, doing all that + the diff change will easily shave 2 seconds so that makes its a 9.1 second to 100km/h machine ... If you want to go mental you could always put on a XR6 HP Head and Cam and install a newer design liquid phase injection system which is similar to the one used in the FG MK2 EcoLpi apparently they work well with the 2 valve per cyl design head. Of course that is if you want to go crazy and had major funds behind the project. The easiest option if going to a lower diff ratio.

Lol that was wicked, the AU dirt Montsa!!! Well positive is ya don't need new tyres 🤣👍

Man I said 9.8 & I was way off lol,but she's built for cruising & reliability not speed,so all good Johnny,your content is the best you never disappoint bro.

Impco 425 mixer on a 4150 base and a four barrel manifold should give it a few more herbs. The factory mixers on those e-Gas engines have about as much flow as a garden hose.

That AU needs a line locker to light up them rear wheels. Perhaps stick an XR8 diff onto it?

11! I nailed it on one of the runs at least. Need to let the torque converter load up more before planting it.

People need to donate a vct for it and a set of 3.7 or 4.11s for it

I once drove a el 4.0 ltr auto , I was very surprised to find out it spun the wheels off the mark easily and took off very nicely , I'm a holden man so didn't know much about them, but there lighter and I think have a higher diff ratio , I drove a ba 4.0 auto Ute and , the el was much faster off the mark , really felt faster overall , the ba was a bit sluggish off the line comparing them

Yessss 😍. She’s fast af boi

My Au petrol consistently does it in 8.0 sec. Even high 7's. Lots of new parts, but mostly standard.

Try the proven Neutral Drop technique for that burnout with some water down

It's just a couple of seconds slower than my AU Fairmont vct ,which is 7.2

Not the fastest AU, but it will probably still be driving and doing similar times when comparable cars have long turned to rust and dust. A lot of people agree that the AU is the strongest falcon of all time and will outlast all others - without serious repairs. B series and up, owners, before you rage, how many accessories have fallen off yours? door handles? etc? I had a new AU company car, then a brand new BA. Loved the BA for a couple of weeks, then problems started, but still far less problems than the commodore company car I had too - it was absolute rubbish - 2011 model. had road side assistance on speed dial for that s/heap.

You need to build those revs up more before launching. If it can’t spin the wheels with full throttle that just means you mash the brake and throttle and step off the brake. Nun of this 1500rpm launching.

The correct guess for the competition was "C'mon, baby... Come on, Baby!!" 😁😁

So my guess of 10 seconds was correct! Lets goo au 🤩

Needs a xr6 345 in the rear👍

neutral drop is the way to go mate haha

The au seemed a bit sluggish getting up to higher rpm’s, or is that just the way they are?

Cool. I will check Alectra Wagon with a similar app....letya know but probably the same aye.

Gusssing 9.1 seconds (although with perfect conditions 8.6)

Got 9 in the red top VCT our guess for the green top, pretty close 0.1 seconds off lmao

My silver top gets to 100 in under 9 seconds sometimes I can push it to 7 One day I will turbo it, if I can keep up with most cars on the road now a turbo intech will eat *most* cars

I feel the auto box is not that great, otherwise it would have done a better job. I agree it feels like It could do more but not in reality

Wait, what? My xy Falcon would spin the wheels with a lot less power than 140kw. No idea how long it took to 100...

Yeah the lpg version are much slower

hi ross my old girl my daily drver au 2 futura straight petrol no gas 301000 klms the app i used was race timer on a samsung phone the best time i got out of mine was 9.2 0-100 with wheelspin right hand tyre ony

she aint no rocket but still gotta love the old girl

And the winner is.....? I just had to go and check my guess on the previous video comments. Let's hope you round it to the nearest 1 decimal place. 😉

if you want to launch an AU Falcon properly, put it in neutral then slam it to 1st gear

I reckon the dear old SOHC "bullet" proof will be around 8 seconds , just under to just over 7.8 -8.2 ish from my personal experience of my petrol beast . whatever it is this ultra reliable 4.0 will do it all day long ..

Braaaap!!!! Then 8.3 seconds to 100.

11.3 seconds is my bet

What’s app is this for 0-100 test? Cheers

I'm guessing 8.2 seconds

9.45

UP THE AU. Those simple decals make the car look so much better

8.9 to 9.1 for the 0-100

Keeping to my word, 9.8 seconds!

9.8

9.2

The gas throttle body is very restricted, you just can't get the air into them .needs a cam

the Intech was the grand daddy to the Barra? try the FATHER of the Barra! the 4.1 X-Flow was its grandfather lol

10.2

An AU that runs 10's, 0-100 that is!

As I said before 7.8 seconds

8.5 sec ..up the AU

7.5sec Chur ma bro 🤙

Way slower than what thought 😂

11.1 seconds

I.have 2002aufordfalconseries3srationwagon

10 seconds...oh dear 😂

Try a downhill 0-100 😁😁😁🍺👍

Green top intec

Shes no road terror haha

I love the filth

360nm torque? umm green tops don't get that much torque lol

Did you forget to release the handbrake...??

9.5 seconds

LPG? 9s...

Haha fish oil will get her spinning hahaha

What a Yuckette 😋

it will spin the wheels u just wont

I don't think the au would go under 10 seconds

7.8 sec

You must be new to burnouts if you can't burnout a stock au Falcoon

No wheelspin?sure its an AU??

Take the spare Tyer out

everyone knows AU's dont bag up ya spud

11

Are the wreckers full?

10.6 seconds

0-100 in 5 hours 😂🤣😆😅🤪

7 seconds

lpg is so slow bro

9.3 seconds
