Default S Pack

Hi all

Just bought a 2000 series II Falcon sedan S Pack apart from the obvious can anyone tell me the differences between S Pack and base falcon. I'm just curious. I was after a dedicated gas falcon but could only find the S pack on gas.

Cheers Rod

What are the obvious differences? That's probably all of them.

I don't know for sure with the AU series , but my old XE was a S-PAK , compared to the base model falcons it consisted of different rims , different interior , sports suspension + sway bars and power steering .. i think that was about it , i can't really remember , prolly pretty much the same for the AU though , U might of got the rear wing and front spoiler too ? .. (no side skirts or real low rear and front spolier ) + maybe a few other extras , prolly the different tach/speedo cluster too , u prolly have a tacho too , which i think standard falcons don't have ( don't quote me on that , im not sure ! ) .

the s-pack comes with pretty much the same mods as the old s-pack it came with sports suspension, rear wing, bigger and different rims, leather wheel i think was an option im not sure, tacho, slightly different interior colours to the base model (not as plain), i dont know whether the engine has any mods. just a few small differences that make a big improvement i think.

They came with:
- Colour-Coded Side Mirrors
- Colour-Coded Side Mouldings
- Side Skirts
- S-Pack Decals
- Rear Spoiler
- Sport Suspension
- "DogTooth" 16" Wheels
- Optional Manual Gearbox
- Sporty Black/Dark Blue Cloth Interior

That's about it. The dash/cluster was the same as a standard Falcon.

Yep, they have it right, thats all my S-Pack has over a standard Forte. And yes, DVL40L, mines a manual.

The spac's differ in a few area's

Standard the AUII's come with

- Rear wing
- Sports suspension with lower ride height
- 16" XR6 Alloys
- Cruise Control
- Front pwr windows
- Sports seats with blue & black trim
- Chrome exhaust tip
- 6 speaker stereo
- Electric Antenna
- Colour coded grille
- Leather wrapped steering wheel

Options

- 5 Speed
- ABS
- Premium sound
- Sunroof
- Colorcoded mirrors
- ESP option which included Independant suspension, Limited Slip Differential and tickford XR spec suspension. It was worth almost 3K, my S-pac is fitted with it, well worth it.

Otherwise they are the same mechanically as the forte & have the same instruments.

When they dropped the S-Pac for the SR it lost the XR wheels, sports suspension was now an option but no ESP option and gained side skirts.

No tickford motor, just the e-gas motor option.
