Heh.. I pushed the Falcon this arvo, 190kw right under my feet.. Didn't even 100% floor it but it went hard.. accelerates much more faster than my Euro.. The time it takes my Euro to get to 100, the Falcon gets to 130 - rolling start of courseseremify007 said:

Well there is a supercharged Aurion coming out, supposedly has 250kw+.... not bad!!!!!
And as for the understeer and losing it in FWD around corners, thats what stability control is for
Also slightly off topic, saw the Ford Focus XR5 in the local newspaper today...... I recon its alrite. Produces 166kw 320Nm of torque!!! Has twin mufflers, 0-100km/h in 6.5 secs, fat 225 18inch tyres and unusally has a 5 cyclinder configuration.... all for $35k

yeah, the XR5 looks pretty sweet
read a few reviews on it and it seems like a quality car, especially the value you get, say, compared to a golf gti.
ill be going for a test drive in one soon to do a hot hatch comparo with the golf/polo Gti, peugeot 206 gti 180

Yeah. Seems like a very well rounded car as well. It must grip the road very well to, big tyres for a hatchback.
I like what one reviewer said:
"From where I sat, I could find very little wrong with the XR5, and for $36k? I'm seriously considering getting one myself. Not only does it look the part, with its aerodynamic roof spoiler, 18-inch wheels, full bodykit and split exhaust system, but the thing actually drives very nicely indeed"
