Farewelling a legend; Ponch’s emotional petrol bender in Ford’s final fast Falcon.
Let’s get the numbers out of the way. Three days, 2497km, 33 hours of wheel time, 312 litres of fuel, 73km/h average speed and 12.7L/100km. They’re not really that important. This is a celebration, not a dissection. The Falcon XR8 Sprint is Ford’s departure gift to its die-hard loyalists and if ever an Aussie car was measured in something other than numbers this is it.
