Thats odd, almost every auto has water cooling as its more efficient but theres no sign of it there

Is that true that water cooling is more efficient than air cooling?

Air cooling is cooled by air temperature (obviously), and the water temperature would be much higher.

It isn't solely about the temperatures, liquid cooling can move more heat at a given temperature than air can.

Ford America has been down Ford Australias throats for a very long time, now they get their way by placing their Mustang as the global RWD everyday/performance vehicle.
Because they have been wanting the Falcon dead for so long, they can take their Mustang and go jump. Ford AU wasnt helping their case however we all know there is more than meets the eye.

Falcon waa built for us down under, they were tough and very versatile., a fantastic handling platform and brilliant drivelines and suspension setups. One could atill fit the whole family in and tow the caravan in the top spec high performanxe GT if they still wanted to. But i suppose the market has moved on for such things.

i used to say that i couldnt wait for the FG series falcons to become cheap enough to use as bush hacks till they pop, but now they need to be preserved and i will wait till Mustangs become cheap crap.

NSW needs less stringent laws as does the rest of aus however thats another thing altogether.

Nah, any falcon or mustang doesn't deserve any of that.

Waiting for $500 Cruze, VE and VF's to pop up and do destruction derby on them.

They say the PX Rangers boxes are the same as Mustangs, I can tell you for sure they can get quite hot under working conditions so I'm not surprised if they failed the test.
