hehe, what if it doesn't beat it? That would suck heh? If you want a car that can beat most of the 'standard' cars on road, you should buy another car, because road Falcons where not made to race each other and win. They where made with other things in mind! You're ute can carry a **** load of stuff in the tray that an EL sedan driver would only wish. But at the same time, the sedan has more seats and can acompany more people...

I dunno, sorry if i'm coming along as a bit rude, but I just find it funny when people buy falcons, then ask if they can beat a certain car! You don't buy a falcon so you can beat another car in a race! Thats what FPV is for :
