Anyone else love the Ford Falcon XR8?

This popped up in my UCD a few days ago, I had plenty of cash to buy it but opted to get a few other cars instead. Afterwards I watched the Australian Supercars and was mad at myself for not buying it. A few grinds later and it was back in my UCD so I scooped it up! Only put a few practice laps on it, but love it!!

I love that car. I bought three because I put so many kms on it.

It's a shame we don't have several Falcon/Commodores, past and present, to go head-to-head in GT5. At the very least, Bathurst should've been made for GT5.

AU Falcon - This is the best livery I've ever seen on a race car.

BA Falcon - The previous model Ford. V8Supercar versions of the FPV BA Falcon's from GT4/GTPSP.

VE Commodore Ute - That must've hurt. The ute racing is basically road cars with roll cages.

Race start of the Bathurst 1000.

FG Falcon - the current model Ford.

VE Commodore - the current model Holden.

VZ Commodore - the previous model Holden. V8Supercar version of the Holden Commodore SS in GT4/GTPSP/GT5.

I love the car but would like it if they had some newer models as well.

Good call 👍. It's a mock up. I just grabbed some pics from my photobucket then had to run to work.

Finally got it, only have 3 1m plus cars to get so took a while! Romped the GT All Stars Nurburgring race with a 6.22, with more to come. Well worth the wait!

Loved it in GT3 and When I saw it I bought as quickly as possible.

Been waiting and waiting. Not sure what day I'm on but all I have left in the game are the 24 hour races I believe. I would trade my Carbon Redbull X1 for this car, lol. I guess the only way to get it is to get lucky or find someone who will trade a lvl 21 ticket. Of course with PSN my impatience only grows ;-)

Good catch about the street car, ucwepn ;-) It was the tinted windows for me that gave it away. Regardless, coooool cars

Thanks to the PSN being down, I had no access to my spare cash by way of my B-Spec drivers.. but then it came... one of the most elusive cars in the game.

And I had only 8k. Well, this may be my only chance. Sell Everything.

I cleared out my garage of any car that could be sold, even if it was only sellable for a penny. All the LM cars that I worked so hard to collect had to be scrapped, so I could get this rare machine. I made my 1.2 Mil, and then decided to go buy it.

Wow.

600 BHP, but It's so manageable! The grip seems endless, and yet it still puts the power to the road enough to crush all of the GT-500 and DTM cars. I was really amazed.

So tell me, does anyone else feel that this is one car you must have? Or was it a waste of money, decent cars, and time?

To anyone short of cash or B spec drivers while the network is down, search this messageboard for "rubber band".

While I would never have indulged previously, I think it's a reasonable response to a lack of B spec.

I could have gave you a level 21 ticket, but we are shutdown.

Fun car to drive, sounds good. I think my CLK Tourer and Opel Astra are better overall though.

What do you want to trade for the ticket when psn is back??
