Ford Falcons are a top pick for car enthusiasts and racers, providing a killer blend of performance, upgrade potential, and durability. The Barra engine family is well-known for its toughness, easily handling boosted power without reliability hiccups. These beasts come with a 4.0-liter turbo inline-six, cranking out around 240 kW in the BA Mk II XR6T variant. With a hefty 450 Nm of torque from the turbo models, they deliver impressive acceleration and responsiveness.
The engines are ripe for tuning; basic mods can push power to about 300 kW at the wheels, letting you hit 0-100 km/h in roughly 6.9 seconds—definitely giving those bigger V8s a run for their money. Falcons have a solid presence in motorsport, thanks to their sweet balance of weight and power, making them ideal for both track and street racing. The enthusiast scene is alive and kicking, with plenty of racing events showcasing what these cars can do.
Finding replacement parts is a breeze, with strong aftermarket support including both OEM and aftermarket options. Common upgrades include intercoolers, valve springs, and cranking up the boost. The six-speed manual transmission is built to handle the engine's torque well. Upgrading the clutch can really enhance power transfer efficiency, especially when you're tuning for more output—leading to better acceleration and overall performance during spirited driving or racing.
Falcons are not just reliable; they’re also a blast to drive and easy to work on, making them a favorite among car lovers.
Why Choose a Mantic Track Multi-plate Clutch Kit?
Performance Clutch Systems typically involve an increase in clamp load and/or use of aggressive friction material to achieve higher torque capacity. However there is a practical limit – Increasing clamp load by more than 20% can put the vehicle's hydraulic system under stress, significantly reducing clutch system life and resulting in very high clutch pedal actuation effort. And the use of aggressive friction material will noticeably reduce driveability. Enter the benefits of a Mantic multi-plate clutch system. A 9" Twin Plate Mantic Track system has the same effective surface area as an 18 single plate clutch, and a 9 Triple Plate Mantic Track system equates to 27. So increasing clamp load is no longer a priority as the significantly larger surface area creates a massive torque capacity increase.
All Clutch Systems in the Mantic Track Series features:
-Lower Moment Of Inertia(MOI) To Increase Acceleration.-Dynamometer Tested.
-Field-Tested On Both Street And Track.
-ISO9001 Quality Certified.
-Modular Designs As Well As Many Direct Fit Applications.
Available in the Mantic 9000 Series (9”/230mm diameter), the track twin cerametallic disc kit can hold over 2,050Nm of torque.
All direct fit kits include a lightened steel flywheel which along with the aluminum cover, provides a lightweight solution that helps increase acceleration.
