interesting because its a front wheel drive
185 seems rather optimistic for a 3.0L which appears to be stock tho

no no, he said it made 185 on the dyno. therefore he is claiming 185 at the front wheels!!! From a bog stock 3.0L auto magna except an exhaust....

All he mentions is a sports exhaust. Me thinks he is referring to a rolling road dyno.
I dont even know anywhere that tests flywheel kilowatts.

i drive about 4-5 magnas a week minimum and a 3.5 v6 magna manual would absolutley hose a stock auto falcon...
auto for auto it would be bloody close...
4.11s make a falcon go from insanely sluggish to really quite nimble tho remember....

Yeah true, But falcons Auto does 80-90 in first vs magna which is about 60km at 6000 rpm so comparing autos isnt fair , but the EB with 4.11s and exhaust (AU hibrid motor) pulled away was closish to 80 i pulled a car on him , he give me a thumbs up at the next lights
They are well set up for standard though, No doubt, Dead stock falcon autos are pretty crap. My EB stock took about 10 odd seconds to get to 100...

You can use them on anything they'll fit on. I'd get one for wank value but cant because of the BBM and intake piping.
