1988 Ford Falcon S pak review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great high powered, reliable car, would buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing to date.
General comments?
Changed to LPG just after I brought it, burns the rubber like a V8 and hammers like one too.
Very stock looking, but still has heaps of power.
Better than the old X series as the door handles don't break easy.
Very comfortable and roomy car.
Some people say you loose power with LPG but I didn't notice it, and neither did the dyno test.
This car has enough power to leave my mate's 2006 Honda Accord for dead at the lights, and it even leaves a 2006 V8 Commodore.
