The new XY GT rolled off the line in late 1970, and was followed in 1971 with the all-time classic GT HO Phase III. With between 350 and 380bhp (270 - 280 kW) and 380 ft/lbs (513Nm) of torque, it was reputed then to be the world's fastest 4-door production car. Looking suitably aggressive and with its air intake protruding through the bonnet and bold side stripes, the XY GT's were affectionately known as "Shakers" to many people, a nickname derived from the shaking action of the bonnet scoop and particularly noticeable while the engine is idling. It is also the vehicle that most people associate with the term Falcon GT. The XY GT was the model that has most captured the imagination of the masses and it is the one that is most often copied. Many people have purchased standard XY Falcons or Fairmont�s and dressed them up to imitate the most legendary of all Falcon GT's. � First Produced GT - Late 1970 ,GTHO Phase III September 1971 � Price GT $4250 , GTHO Phase III $5250 � Number Built 1557 GT's , 800 GTHO Phase III � Clutch Twin 9.25" dry plates � Gearbox All synchromesh 4 speed � Brakes , Servo Assisted , Front : 11.25 inch disks Rear 10 inch drum (Wider and finned on Phase III ) Vacuum reserve tank fitted to Phase III � Diff ; GT - 3.25:1(optional 3.01:1 and 2.75:1) 9 Inch with ' Traction Lock ' 28 spines GTHO Phase III -Choice of 3.25:1 , 3.50:1 , 3.95:1 Nine inch ' Daytona ' 31 spine with Detroit Locker � Engine Specifications: o Engine: 351 cubic inch Cleveland V8 (5.763 litre) o Bore & Stroke: 102 x 89mm (4.00 x 3.50in) o Power (DIN): 224kW (300bhp) @ 5400rpm.
