i had a 351 xe when i got married, after the wedding i had to pick the missus up and feed her through the passenger window cos none of the doors worked.
I remember when these were taxicabs everywhere in Sydney. My dad drove an XD cab in 1989 and was replaced by an EA series II in 90. I love how relatively normal these look.
Fantastic to see these XD's out and about tearing up the track, and with Barras to boot, seems right. And I'm more of a Holden guy tbh. These are pearlers!
@Private Name withheld Hilarious.. I know. Although I have no idea why I wrote that.. Maybe it was my trollter ego.. Who knows. Going by how much you laughed.. Maybe I should be on a stage somewhere.
I had an XE Fairmont with a 302 and C4 fitted. It was slower than a week with the flu. It sounded nice though.....totally stock with a single system. One day i may buy one of the last Ford Territorys built. They may begin increasing in value once they become rare.
Clevelands didn't enjoy the emissions tune that got lumped on them but at there core they were still a cleveland. A cam, carb and good exhaust and nek minnit! Destroyed tyres!
the red spdpro in the old v8 - yes was slower ....but the sound. (dream car in the 8 - xe in red was my 1st car 250 xflow!!) congrats on the 7s. car has done well over so many years!!!
Fuck yeah love the sound of both cars. Respect to ford also 🤙inline straight 6 has come an impressive long way. Ford stuck to the same motor and just kept improving it. Was always a Holden fan. An Fg xr6 turbo later and ford runs in my blood
Bullshit.. The driver did that on purpose.. Completely different driving techniques. The other one less self control and that was even evident when they did the burnouts
Oh yeah, 4.0 straight six which can trace it's roots back to the old US Falcon 144 engine.... and right now thousands of them go to the crusher. It's nuts, they are one of the greatest engines EVER. Makes me proud to be a Ford lovin' Cats fan and Aussie. Here in Oz people would get a Jag XJ and put a small block Chev in it as the Jag engines were eye wateringly expensive to fix here. Fuck that, the XJ screams out for a Barra. What a car that would be. Low slung Brit luxury with a REAL engine. Don't get me wrong, a good 4.2 Jag is nice, but hideously unreliable. Barras are nearly bullet proof and produce more power and torque stock.. Even the stock NA engines keep on, but don't really respond to tuning the way the turbos do.
@A-a Ron That is NOT what happened. Ford Australia local production got shut down by Dearborn, as our market is too small to support the R&D needed to comply with all the regs, and we are a stone's throw from Korea, Thailand and China so we get "cheap" jelly mould" cars that you can't find in a car park because they are all the same. It was NOT Ford Australia's fault. Bang for your buck is not a priority of the left. I don't know where you are, but here you could get a container load of them for fuck all. All you have to do then is build them. Believe me, I want you to. These things deserve more than the crusher.
My gosh listen to those cars whine before they launch. We have nothing close to those Door Slammers in the United States short of the Buick Grand National
My dad is still rocking a xd wagon as a daily drive and has not broken a door handle for at least the last 10 years. As long as you dont yank on them they last ok.
The barra don't fit , in a cozie, also they did get barras in the UK ,only thing is they only brought over a handful to sell. A company in the UK sold them . Look it up there is a video on it ,
@@BrosefDudley bullshit so you are tell me the barra fits without any modifications too the fire wall then !!!!!. I'm sure it will fit . Stfu you non car person
@@_i-kr6eg lol@ you commenting about a game i was playing 8 years ago and a channel i clearly don't care about. I must have really got under your skin for you to watch my videos and assume that I'm a drug user. So much for me being the snowflake here 🤣🤣🤣
Aunger sure knew how to make a good louver adhesive!!
Yes its certainly improved since the eighties!
Think I’ve watched this 100 times and showed plenty 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Crime rates went up at the introduction of these cops couldnt get into the bloody things lol
You needed to have a chainsaw file for an aerial. Pop it out and hey presto you could open the doors. Simple things appeal to me.

definition of a sleeper
i wouldnt be game enough to open the door and say congrats coz the handle would break
How so??
as a panel beater 4 over 40 years ive replaced close to a 100 of them still have some in stock .lol
Haha this comment has made my day
Lol my finger still has a scar from those stupid door handles.
Hahaha, it's so true
The old man had a XD S pak. Fuck I loved that thing. Great car.
All you need now is one of these in a old group c body kit with some 16" simmons and painted in Cammo or Blue. Ultimate tribute
That road sweeper was eyen em up for a go!
170mph stop without chute with an XD is impressive
You should come to TX2K20
Fantastic to see these XD's out and about tearing up the track, and with Barras to boot, seems right. And I'm more of a Holden guy tbh. These are pearlers!
Love and miss these old falcons
Very impressive. Big heavy bricks going that quick is brilliant.
They weight 1345kg from factory, pretty light car compared to the fg falcon
@@fullnoyz7670 Yeah thats not terrible . Still a top effort to go 7's .
Hitmans30a definitely a top achievement mate
They are lighter than most modern day supercars and sports car
Wow awesome job getting in the 7s
Tuff Aussie power 🤛💪
The barra is a Chinese designed motor.
@Private Name withheld Hilarious.. I know. Although I have no idea why I wrote that.. Maybe it was my trollter ego.. Who knows. Going by how much you laughed.. Maybe I should be on a stage somewhere.
That last launch was perfect
God dam talk about hooking up! Both breaking into the 7s in the same night! Barra the world!!

Yes fantastic when worked over a little, but not much chop when standard.
RIP RB30 - you had a good run
Oh, bugger, the door handle's broken again...
the red spdpro in the old v8 - yes was slower ....but the sound. (dream car in the 8 - xe in red was my 1st car 250 xflow!!)
congrats on the 7s. car has done well over so many years!!!
They sound sick
Unreal that's awesome 👍🏻

TunnelV are awesome. Wish their website was back up
And listen to the red Xd wind up....
2.02 did he lose a windscreen wiper?
Wait..that is grandma daily driven sedan😂..awesome!!!!
maDSard Thung dry asf
Ford, Holden it doesn't matter to me. I fucking love Aussie muscle.
Still great in 2022
Well done tunnel vision 👌
And here I am with the 200 cubic inch crossie in my XD wagon... Quick! Someone with a lot of the money please give me all of the money!
very nice .
Love how long the red falcons boost takes to load
I thought the convertor was going to have a meltdown
@@mrrangemaster could do with a dump valve remind of early 2000's vl's seriously shouldn't happen these days
its running windows.
@@SomervilleMetalWorks a dump valve? Lol
@@scootbmx01 yeah you don't know what one is?
Red xd took longer to spool than to do the quarter pass 😂
sounded like plane ready for launch
Yes i think they've used the core out of a jet engine or something to build the turbo. She'd be a laggy beast on the street.
Bullshit.. The driver did that on purpose.. Completely different driving techniques. The other one less self control and that was even evident when they did the burnouts
@@watsisbuttndo829 Really? You're more of an idiot than the idiot that you replied to lol
Yeah it's a timer turbo that's connected to the light tree via wifi and the turbo only spools fully when the lights go green
Someone give this dood a contract
Those are Six in line Cylinders Am I right? Definitely like the Yellow one
Jorge Rodriguez yeah 4 litre in line 6 cylinder turbo. Barra motor

XD on runway 1, you are cleared for takeoff.
Oh dats nice
The longer I look at an xd falcon ,the more pommy they get.
My gosh listen to those cars whine before they launch. We have nothing close to those Door Slammers in the United States short of the Buick Grand National
0:40 Ready for takeoff✈️✈️
Yum
Love d spdpro
The red one should be faster because its well RED! Wonder what the Yanks are thinking? Fox body 4 door?
Please come Barra power my 74 mustang II...
Great cars, but most of these cars had one problem, DOOR HANDLES....

Look up Ford's new werewolf iron block
Whoa!!
Welcome to the new class of racing where whoever takes the longest to build 1psi wins
OOF
I sold my XD two weeks ago 😓
