Fords best luxury model with Fords best performance model combined.
I must admit, If i was in the market for a Falcon, this would be it.

Pity about the stupid looking front bar. Ruins the whole car IMO

To Racoon Eyes, Australia says NO!!

Being an "E" model, the racoon eyes should be body coloured so our eyes won't bleed as we drive past them.

“As opposed to the overtly sporty F6, the F6 E is more subtle, with striking chrome accents and a refined lip spoiler replacing the bright colours, and large rear wings found on the other models – the colour coding of the ‘racoon-eyes’ also helps the F6 E to keep a low profile.”

There you go, not a bad package but price seems a bit over the top. Might end up sharing the low sales F6X or whatever that territory achieved

Good to see it become a reality.

Is it enough to temp Senator owners?

There is no doubt that the FPV T6 is an awsome motor. I have driven it in both auto and manual versions for lengthy test drives and it was very, very impressive (for a "stock" factory motor).

Shame about the Ford/FPV build quality and lack of enough "difference" from BF (this is MY opinion).

F6E does look very good.

...........Is it enough to temp Senator owners? .........

I think it definitely could be mate. I like the G6ET and this one is just that little bit better, being an FPV.

If I was in the market at the minute, I'd be giving either of those a very long look.

For the cash they seem to be an awesome buy...

Heard a Force 6 (the BF version of F6E) the other day with a blow off and a slightly louder than stock exhaust, from the point of sound, a 6.2L V8 will never feel nervous. The only other thing is they look a tad bit too narrow (vehcile width wise compared to HSV), and they don't seem to differ enough from an XR6 or XR8... just buy an XR6T and swap the front and rear bars over to fpv..

other than that, they're a rocket for the money...
