Such a pleasure to see the final results! Such an awesome video, glad to see the review come into fruition after 3 years of talking about it 😎 hope everyone enjoys this one
Sounds great Max 🙂
Perfect package bro👍
Amazing this ute has come so far over the years i have seen this beast
@@missinglink4205 thanks mate! Been years in the works
Youre ute is awesome mate, big fan. Where did you get your steering wheel from? Love the flat bottom 👌
Ever since I first saw this beast at lakeside many years ago, I’ve loved it.
Still the best-sounding 5.4L I’ve ever heard
Suss out gap sauce mate, his GT is unreal.
@@kers225abk2 I’ve heard his beast too. Also immaculate
It’s near on perfect eh
Absolute mint, best v8 ever made, Super snake. And the best shape ford designed 👍🇦🇺🍻 hats off to the owner.
He’s a legend and did a great job on this
Nice car I am a holden man but over the years I have learned to respect both it looks and sounds amazing as these early 2000 cars are old now and hard to see one in good shape that’s not clapped out. I hope to have my own Ute looking something like this one day
Right on! Glad you have come to appreciate both! Love Aussie cars 🇦🇺👌
Iam the same. Personally I like Holden sedans more then most Ford's but really liking Ford's utes over the last few years. Would absolutely get one if I could!
Still dont care that the 6 turbos are faster in stock form. These boss engines ... ( especially with boost ) and with a killer exhaust set up like max's just sound like nothing else and to me thats the winning ticket. This things has got to be one of the best sounding cars iv ever heard ... PERIOD. Was great to finnally see the review thats for sure awesome stuff lads 👌🤘
They sound amazing no doubt! I loved my old xr8 ute.. definitely wasn’t a rocket ship but was good fun
Rather the sound of a cammed and charged Ls. Nothing beats that choppy thump
Great review of the Ute, Ross. I really like the colour and what he has done to it. The supercharger sure has made a difference. It sounds great too. Very quick off the mark for a Ute. Another car I’ve followed on Instagram for a while now. Glad to finally see a video on it. Really enjoying your Queensland reviews.
Thanks 👍 glad your enjoying these mate
Appreciate the support mate!
Cant beat the sound of a super charged boss up in the rev range brings back memories of my ba xr8 manual ....love the bright orange nice review Ross
Gotta love them eh
Definitely my favourite ute build I've seen, been following Max via Zac achieve his dream of supercharging his ute for the past 3-4 years (ever since the 382HP days), and he deserves to live it 100%. Keep it up Maxxy! Never sell that beast!
Was so glad to get this one on the channel finally 💪
Ross thanks for keeping a focus on our unique Aussie muscle cars. Great video.
More to come! Glad you enjoy them
WOW what a Ute!! 9:00 when you floor it, omg!
Great review man!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your definitely driving some epic cars in Queensland. Owner has done a great job on that Ute and is in excellent condition.
Absolutely was blessed to have so many good builds come on
Yes I remember Max always at Mr Baldy's joint lol,the guy with the sick V8 Ute you've done yourself proud Max mate it's one of the best Utes around & that colour is awesome 👍 also a big thanks to you Johnny another killer vid bro.
Appreciate it mate 🙏
Bloody great ute, octane orange looks wicked too 👌 gotta love that whine!
Couldn't agree more!
mate your face shows it all!, mean machine man and the sound!, what fantastic engineering, keep em coming man.
More to come!
That thing sounds amazing. Love it!!!!
It does!
Great job Ross, thank you for your passion , so sad Aussie car manufacture is no more,
Thanks for watching! It’s sad they are no longer making these 🥲
Loved the video, have a xr8 260 manual with the exact same supercharger Eaton 122 that I did 10 yrs ago, maximum I could get out of it on E85 at 14 lbs of boost was 600 hp at the wheels with a stock bottom end, last time I drove it was to summernats as an entrant 2017, been sitting in my shed ever since, this year it's going back on the rd with an ex v8 ute racing motor newly built in it.
They are bloody awesome eh
And very scary when you haven't driven them for a while, especially as you get older like me.
Nice one Jonno. That is a serious beast. V8 Forever!!
Love these eh
Always get to see it at happy laps at QR. Hell of a machine!
Thanks mate
Awesome ute
Amazing channel with awesome cars. Very unique cars for me with Holden V8's and manual gearbox and so on. Best wishes from Germany Chris
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoy seeing the weird and wonderful cars from Australia 🇦🇺
@@RossReviewsau From now, I will follow your upcoming car reviews. Very cool cars from Australia. It is a kind of sleeper cars with big V8 engines, raw sound and also most of the time with a manual gearbox. Amazing !!! Here in Germany sadly V8 engines disappear more and more, because of the crap government. Please continue with your car reviews :)
Great colour and sounds amazing very tastefully done another great Boss engine
Glad you like it
Hey Johnny...anther great review.....tidy ute....gota love forced induction...There's so much potential with the Aussie cars.......
Just so good 💪🇦🇺
Niice bro. You should do a review on Gapsauce's gt falcon got some nice mods on that one.
Would love to!
Love your channel even if you do not like my tesla model 3 performance. your reviews are great all the best.
They are ok if that’s what you like. ⚡️ not for me at this stage yet tho
The utes are just the best! Nothing optimises cooler and everybody wants one
sounds incredible
Very good
Love the sound of 5.4 BOSS with full exhaust system. It would have been good if Ford Super Charged BOSS engine like they Turbo the 4.0 ( Barra ).
Love wn
Perfect Ute👌, everything done right & sounds great😎.
Very well done eh
@@RossReviewsau The dream set-up.
Sounds immaculate
So damn good
So iv landed here a year late but only because Iv just bought what I believe to be the only FPV Gs Ute in MANUAL in the UK with 606bhp 😁 absolute psychos ain't they 😂❤
Mad stuff man! Good to hear you got one in the UK 🇬🇧
Still waiting to see a Turbocharged XR8 Man, Come on Ross they are most definitely out the Bro !!
You and me both! Find me a keen owner lol
@@RossReviewsau I've already told him you need someone with an XR8 Turbo so I'm just waiting on a reply now
Good thing about v8s aye, especially when there supercharged. Instant power
Most definitely!
I think this is one of the best examples of how a v8 should look and sound like. Bugger the Barra bring back the v8!!
this is an epic BOSS V8
Looks nice with the mods
👌👀
@@RossReviewsau must have been insane
I want all of that for my XR8, but starting small I want to get my hands on a push start like that with the XR8 badge.
its a mint set up this ute
Boss power 💪
I want to see a turbocharged xr8 FG ute 👌
I also want to see that lol
Need a turbo xr8 review
Now ya talking my words.
😂👍
I’m hoping it will happen!
What a Ute. That blower sounds epic!!
Can’t believe his making that much power with 1.9l charge that’s awesome!
Is the bottom end built?
Credit to the owner looks awesome!!!
Stock bottom end still, thanks mate ☺️
Very epic Ute! Would be a good run against the Bf 😅
Sounds so dam bloody good!!! What's the exhaust setup on this beast
Think custom man
Awesome Review Ross Reviews’ really enjoy and Love ❤️ this video. Please bring out the Ford AU Falcon XR6 VCT in Melbourne next please.
To Ross Reviews
From Jordan’s car reviews
Coming soon! Might edit that one next
WooWooWootWooWooooo .. Love the vids legend❤🇦🇺🍻
Appreciate it mare
honestly in a manual it's pretty hard to put the power down best I can probably do in my VE SS manual rebuilt with a cam and Higgins heads and forged pistons is about 5.5 seconds although it has a stock intake and exhaust, and there's not many places you can let me rip these days. If the car is fun to drive and sounds good that's what really matters.
this was incredibly fun! sounded great felt good.. awesome ute
How many pounds of boost is it running plz
Great car, love those wheels, where can I get em???
Not sure but pretty common wheel I’ve seen
Does anyone know how many FG xr8 utes were made? Can't find stats on it for the life of me.
sorry not sure
_what beast 🦍_ 👌🏼
💪😈
How much did he spend do that❤
Awesome
🔥🔥🔥
traction is always your go to defualt ie..back road..so do a 60 to 120 time ??
Agree. It’s getting tiring hearing the excuses and caveats. Powerful RWD cars above 330rwkw are going to be Hyundai I30N slow - I have accepted it, everyone else needs to get used to it
He did show the speedo going Haywire yeah.
@@_wallnutz_ watch
AutoTopNL
With high 700hp powered cars 0 to 100 isn't relative...hence roll racing
I do need to keep my licence 🪪 0-100 is hard enough to do every review.. also it’s more a real world test not a perfect work test
Yup, it’s a Weapon.😱
Proper Aussie fun
Tell me it doesn't sound better than a LS I dare yah. 290s are always on song🤤
These do sound amazing 👏
What would you pick between a Xr6 Turbo and a Commodore SS VE bro? What would be cheaper to mod and gain more power out of? Your honest opinion please 😁
Turbo is waaay cheaper to mod and get good gains
@@samthestoryman3757 in your opinion, would one of those Xr6 Turbo performance packages from a reputable shop, be worth it? They do stuff like bigger injectors, intetcooler, fuel pump etc
The SS just needs a cam to make 450hp on a 6.0L, they are a good thing also
Turbo Barra is best for power.. but depends what you want both great
This would crack a 12 on the street. It would also sound the best doing it
Easily
Do my barra next 🤔
What ya got?
What's the cost of doing this motor up to 440rwkw ?
A lot tbh 🥲
I am more thinking late 3s
this is tuff wish i wasn't on p's
Just send it 🫡👀
@@RossReviewsau bought a BA XR8 5 speed!! still on p's though haha
Is that Zac Baldys mates ute?
Something like that 😅
Yes
What does it cost to do it the right way 🤔
A lot 🤑🤑🤑
Tesla owners would be outraged watching this But the
Cobalt/lithium in their cars and iPhone14's are more damaging to humans and the environment than this.
🤣🤣💀 bro I couldn’t have said it better
Funny facial expressions lol hohohohohooooo
😵😵😵🥴🥴😨🫠 lol
Fpv badges on non FPV is alway eeh
Drives Better than most GTs
@@RossReviewsau it may. Still ain’t it. I guess I’ll go throw grange badges on my caprice
@@willm687 This is a custom ute and done very nicely, It is his ride, who cares unless you are a buyer and want a stock FPV and once you modify a FPV, it is not 100% FPV anymore. Personally I would take this over a stock FPV 290 ute any day.
@@bloodmoon1410 that’s not the point
I disagree with that title, I don't have the money for a superhcarger, or an XR8! what am I talking about I dont even have a license 🤣
😂😂😂💀💀💀💀😄😄😄😄
Your on the Coke for sure in this video
👀👀👀
V8 sounds don’t get much better then the bosses
They sound epic!
What's with the duck face on your video's?
?🐣
M21? Just a small hiccup it's m122
Yeah m122 haha
@@thatxr8guy sounds like it has actual mufflers on it now also.... It was previously straight piped i remember correctly?
@@justin3131ify has a rear muffler in it now but no cats
Cheers for the correction 😅
