I said more low end torque not "more torque"
the turbo makes peak torque of 450Nm i from 2000-4500rpm while the GTO doesnt make peak torque at 4400rpm.. Guess they were wrong about the power.. And unless you have been living under a rock you now how easy a turbo car is to boost up. Its a 4.0liter engine.. Crank it up to 15lbs of intercooled boost and thats the same as naturally aspirated 8.0liter.
Dont be hater just because its says Ford,,its as much a Ford as the GTO is a Pontiac. Sometimes its good to open your eyes to other possibilities but if you prefer to live with blinders on thats cool too.

This guy knows whats he's saying and its not hard to know back home as the Ford Falcons and Holden Commordores are everywhere in Aust. All of these cars, Commordores, Monaros, GTOs, Falcons (Turbo 6 and 8) whatever anyone says run neck and neck, even HSVs with the extra hp or kw (depending on where ya from) run with the Falcon Pursuit's, so its all relative.
As to wasting the Falcon Turbo 6, maybe 2 out of 3 times, if ya lucky and your a good driver, but everyone knows what happens when you underestimate the competition. My warning to you about Falcons.....Don't.
Note: Holdens Gen IV = LS1; only HSV's use the LS2 at the moment as far as i know.
P.S. The top pics are of BA Falcon, which came out in 2002/2003, i am assuming before the SAP and the GTO in the US?
