Whilst not a 'Boosted Falcon'
It is one of our Turbocharged US Cousins, the Taurus SHO... and a nice one at that.

The Mobsteel Taurus SHO
With an estimated 458HP and a 12.4 1/4 Mile time, it certainly goes as good as it looks.

Most will know of the Protest that was organised surrounding the cancellation of the annual Easternats Car Festival.
Most will also know that the planned protest turned to riots and in turn the damage of both personal and public property.

It is unfortunate that the actions of a few will inevitably impact the modified car scene as a whole. Organised events are already few and far between and with the events of last night will likely see them become more sparse.

Thankfully Winton Motor Raceway decided to tackle thing the right way and organised a replacement event to fulfil the needs of Melbourne’s enthusiasts.

We hope that no Boosted Falcon members were involved in the said riots and as a whole are disgusted that it has declined to this level.

News from both sides of the country with 2 of australias (and by default the world's) Street Falcon's pushing well beyond what has been seen from the SOHC 4L before.

Rajab's EL Development car owned by Forum Member Hiboost recently pushed an impressive 662rwkw from the SOHC powerplant and is looking to improve on the recent string of 9 second passes


And from WA Rodney Sammut's Green EL XR (formally Supercharged) Turbo has recently run an 8.7 second pass.

Things are heating up at the top of the charts!

Snort Performance (Famous for its ongoing support in the world if Turbo 4L's) is in the final stages of its development of a new Supercharger Kit to suit the Falcon.
Featuring a custom made cast manifold for a direct bolt up installation of a Magnuson MP112 Supercharger, the kit is a breathe of fresh air in the world of Boosted Falcons.
With plans to allow fitment on all 4.0s (Both SOHC and DOHC) it will be interesting to see the results.

Further discussion of the supercharger kit is available here:
