God I wish they sold these in the States..
 
The Ford Falcon F6 310. Such a gorgeous car:



Oh, and check out this torque curve :hail:

Is that a production car?

Can you say flat?! I would assume that car is an Aussie productions model. I like it!

Yes. It's kind of like the Australian version of SVT. I think they call it FPV (Ford Performance Vehicles).

That dyno graph is made up. There is no way that is making over 550 Lb-ft of torque and just over 300 HP at 5200 RPM. That is an impossibility, considering HP is just a calculation. Torque is what is actually measured. (Torque X RPM)/5252 = HP.

The lines do appear to cross at 5250 and that dyno graph is in metric units. I think the torque would convert to approx. 405 ft/lb and the hp would convert to 416.

Yeah, I saw they crossed at the right place. The numbers just didn't make sense. I guess it makes more sense with the metric units (I haven't done the math), but I still think that flat torque line is BS. I've never seen a real graph look like that.
