its a holden greywolf,not a ford,a gm product we dont gm here haha.

So - Holden is Brand X are they? It figures. The one thing Falcons do not have is a single continuous body from one end to the other.... DRAT!

On the other hand though, Falcons can be adapted for many roles by changing the back half.

I do have a question or three about Falcons though. Best put in another thread though, whilst this one quietly fades away.

No, The current Falcons do not - its as a result of having a full frame grafted on, and a seperate styleside box (like an American pickup)
Have a look at the older Falcon utes (XC etc.) they had a full monocoque.



The Holden (GM) has independent rear suspension too...

And I mean really...

You would take it over this?

THAT THING is SPEED INCARNATE in the right hands....

Oh yes, I WANT ONE. However I have to get it.

That's the most agressive body style I have ever seen ford produce in a truck platform!
(I could wish for rear fender flares to accomodate wider tires and rims, to improve the footprint - but that's all!!!)

THAT TRUCK RIGHT THERE encompasses more than my wildest dreams for a ranger or sport-trac. It's the BOMB!

RIGHT NOW, in the USA, that thing would blow everything else right out of the water.

BigF350 04-03-2008 09:19 PM

The fact that it comes with 405hp and 405lbft of torque would help that too no doubt }>


That body style there is getting phased out however...

Greywolf 04-03-2008 09:30 PM

The clean body style is the interesting point. I wish ford came back with another one like it, but the multi-purposing of it would be gone.

A sport version in monocoque would intrigue hell out of me though, and blast GM.

It appears to have a length similar to an extended cab ranger, and some explorers. With luck the mount points are similar as well.

I can always weld stuff up on the frame.

BigF350 04-03-2008 10:08 PM

SHIAT - a speed bump at 180 mph would be a wrong turn in Mira Mesa, I'd still be burning across the I-10...
