Default New Falcon eats S2K in straight line

According to Drive, they tested a new XR6 turbo and recorded easy 5.1 second 0-100 runs! In an auto with the aircon on!

Actually I guess with times like that it eats a whole lot of things!

I use my Falcon to carry around the broken parts of my S2000.

S is still quicker though.

If that's what floats your boat.

I'm sure it does for most of the XR owners.....

I prefer the wind in my hair!
