Another great review, Ross! Love the BF Falcon. Plenty of power with the supercharger on it. It’s sounds great as well. A credit to the owner. Thank you.
My god that car is a stunner. I've got the toxic green BF XR6, 6spd manual. I absolutely love the prestige colours ford put out. 256kms to nearly a full tank, the owner loves that gas pedal aha
Good old 5.4 boss motor...reminds me of my old BF Super Pursuit I used to own about 10 years ago that had a 2.6L Kenne Bell with 4.11's. Was an absolute tyre fryer
Comin back and watching this two years on! Nothin better than the sounds of a worked 5.4! Massive credit to the owner that has to be one of the cleanest examples out there

I've always thought yellow suits that body. The black bonnet makes it extra badass. That furious V8 rasp is one juicy cherry on the top. Great reaction when you went into third from the rolling second. Now, how can a turbo Barra compare aurally?!
I have a B series ute and she’s na nothing spec but getting her up above 4K with some twisty corner’s hitting gears is so much fun I love the sound an feeling… I also have an F6E an it’s just different… loving the sound of this thing 👌👌
I love the colour combo black on yellow.. it's gorgeous.. I've just bought an XR8 bonnet for my Neo Blue XR6, I know what yas are thinking "but it's a six" I don't care I love the look of the BF XR8 sadly I just couldn't find one in my price range, I've been racking my brain for a sweet black n blue combo pattern was thinking of the XA GT stripes with the bulge sides Neo but I don't like the sudden colour change (blue to black) from the bumper to bonnet around the grill this yellow n black stripe combo however is sweet as I may just borrow this lmfao... N yea love the 5.4 raw I guess I'll have to settle for a 2.5" exhaust n a mild cam job...
Great review mate, what a beast. So much so that I was looking into buying a Blown BF GT with the same set up and well... After watching this on repeat I'm happy to say its now in my driveway 😂 So thank you ✌️
@@RossReviewsau If you had a 20 grand budget, which motor would you spend it on in order to make the most power that you would enjoy the most, Barra or 5.4 quad cam with boost?
Seems to me Ross near every damm B series XR Falcon that came through the workshop nearly ALWAYS suffered from rear bushes and diff issues ,besides that they were pretty much bulletproof the taxis went for miles and miles so i guess thats got to count for something,outstanding editing ,spot on mate
@@RossReviewsau Yep, and love the bright yellow colour on this car... I miss the days when manufacturers offered different colours on their cars... Now it's between grey, white and black...
Fk that thing sounds INSANE!!!!! Can't believe as recently as 2019 a decent ba xr8 were going for $6-8k lmao. I'm thinking of selling my vf ss and buying a bf GT. I love my holdens AND fords.
Nah mate don’t do that, vf ss is far better car in almost every metric, i mean jason camissa called it the best sports sedan alongside the cadillac ctsv5
i live around here, wont name the area ;) but i got a fg xr6 turbo nothing special yet i wanna meet you one day bro so hmu my cars not worth videoing yet but id love to go on cruise with ya, love the xr8s to there amazing
I don’t care how fast a Tesla Plaid can go, nothing can compare with the sound and feel of a V8, especially a monster like this. You can add the Barra i6 as well. Electric motors just have no soul.
If thats the Kuhmo Ps 91 tyres that are supposed to be for supercars then thats your problem. Even Rob at Monsta Torque drove my G6E(543RWKW) with the 285 PS91 and he was amazed at how crappy they are. Cant beat the Toyo R888R tyres for grip, a little noisy but awesome for grip.
Sick car, just wondering if it’s got stock internal rotating assembly & what the red line is set to. It spun to 6.5k on boost which is pretty damn decent
I wonder if anybody has ever replaced the control blade IRS on these BA/BFs and replaced them with double wishbone IRS off the AU XR8 which not only allow the rear end to be planted better, but also possibly allow for a larger set of custom rear wheels like 305s.
hi Ross , if you ever visit NSW mid-coast you can drive my BF wagon XT, but it is stock as a rock. Also in average condition, and could do with a bit of suspension work as our pot holes are out of hand ATM.... 🤣
That's what they had going for them, against the LS when they were new (according to the reviews at the time) Everything is subject to opinion of course, but in my books, the Boss 2x0/Barra 220/Windsors are the beefiest sounding Ford v8s.
Well, as someone who has an LS, it sounds identical. Check out the review Johnny did on my ute, search supercharged ve ss, it's yellow and black, same as this one.
You should mention power figures in just kw and hp, instead of rwkw/hp. It makes the car seem more powerful, might be better for views and in the thumbnail
@@RossReviewsau l have a BAXR8 since new and she is still the 260 Boss 5.4 but cold air intake, Defillipo Tuned length headers high flow cats Herrod sports exhaust from cats back with the muffler in front of the IRS removed for straight pipes, only rear muffler remains.

Oh yes, I just wish they're US legal.
makes me so happy people are finally giving the 5.4 the love they deserve. they are a great engine
These motors are awesome when done right when🥵🇦🇺
Yeah that's it. I have a phantom xr8 that's about to undergo a full resto. Freshen it all up and just make it a bit more spritely. Absolutely love it
I have an Acid Rush Ba Xr8Yes,the 5.4 is a great engine and this car is insane!

Love the reviews Ross. Hope to build my ba xr8 like this oneday. Mad props for showing the xr8s, dont see many videos on them around.
Not many as well done as this xr8! Was pretty awesome to see! One day mate keep at it
Allways enjoyed hearing the sound of a xr8 I drive a crammed vz ss 6ltr but can never go wrong hearing a loud supercharger xr8

Can confirm, rubbish tyres.
But they are the best in the segment for price.
888r are not in the same category so not the best comparison
Sick car, just wondering if it’s got stock internal rotating assembly & what the red line is set to. It spun to 6.5k on boost which is pretty damn decent
pretty sure its a built engine eh
Yes its still stock internals. Stage 2 is to build the motor. Red line is set to 7k.

The sound of a Boss shits all over the LS. That car really needs some decent rubber, some Michelin PS4's or something.
