We have seen a few 6 Speed Typhoons bring some big number stock, do you think that Ford have fudged the 270 kw output a bit to keep it under the GT?
From the results given and the times it would make you think that perhaps they are underated by atleast 10 - 15 flywheel kw.
agreed

why on earth would you want IRS in a ute ?
most of my world is ripping the IRS out of performance cars and replacing it with live axle ..... coil over struts though

unbelievable game
-
1 - about 11.30
2 - noisy but tough
3 - 15.5 ... 50% mountain driving 50% city
4 - auto's run a 200 rpm over rev limit under wot (I think) ... so the bells would be going off all the time for you ... d'oh
the manual rev alerts are not gear change alerts
keep it off the peak revs if you are getting Ford servicing .... big brother is watching

DSC
can't upgrade ... that's why the FPVs don't have DSC

I had a brand new car modified and tuned .....
while on the dyno it hurt itself .... the water wasn't checked and not having any water in it did not help
spent about $15k with this particular performance shop
an unsigned "disclaimer" was shoved into my hand .... I'm told I signed one these forms .... I responded with a "wtf"
quote tuner
"I take absolutely and categorically no responsability when something goes pear shaped or gets hurt in the shop.... you came to me asking me to help achieve your plans.... you play you pay ... I just try my best to do what I'm asked"
the engine had done 350km and it cost me $9000 to rebuild ... the tuner never paid a penny ... he stopped talking to me
I do my own work now; don't mind paying for my own mistakes.
Do strong and safe tunes ... the last rwkw just ain't worth it
most tuners around do the same stuff and get similar results give or take 10% depending on the weather ....
it is a rip off when all that happens is the zeros & ones are played on the cars ecu with the "unleash the power" attitude ... never mind your car will die at 10k instead of 100k ...
I think they don't really care.
Maybe they hope that you sell the car to someone else and allow the tuner to become one further degree removed from the initial rip off
basic mechanical improvements are manditory for the best results ... and that doesn't include switching air filters or injectors or exhausts ... they are all easy simple bolt-ons that reduce the life of your asset and in combination with fiddling with a few parameters on the cars ecu will expose the owners of near new cars to grief and debt .... ALONE
back next year

My better half drives a Black XR6T BF auto .... we have had 3 XRTs and this one is by far the best .... certainly better than any manual XRT I've driven and way way better than the old 4 speed
-
being the proud owner of black BF auto Typhoon I'm biased
colour.... go BLACK .... looks so good with the front and rear bars
auto ... yes
19" .... nah ... I thought the F6 18s looked better with BLACK ... might go aftermarket and gets some 19x9 in the car ... LCT of 25% on wheels
insurance AAMI $275pa with $2000 excess, rating 1 (little do they know )
good luck and enjoy

I'd like to know what sort of resale value BA Typhoons are being offered upon trade-in on a new one. Has anybody had an experience yet, I need to know before making my final decision.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Al
Its still a Ford resale is crap.

EX FACTORY DEMO,BREMBO BRAKES,PREMIUM SOUND
15odd k loss under 12 months old.
that Typhoon is green Daz ... they retail for $10k less
who knows about resale price or better or worse than some Euro cars
just done 500km in a F6 auto and I think they are the best thing since sliced bread

give the guy credit for not doing things half heartedly
we all have a little "show" on our cars, he had a lot of on his
maybe he likes RED

evidently there are some major issues with the FPV front and rear skirts ...
I hear that they are hanging on to the cars till it is resolved
not an issue with the XRs
also heard that all 05 plated FPVs should go out by the end of the calender year ..... 06?

I think I got one somewhere ....and I'd reckon it would be worth about $1200 or thereabouts for a 2nd hand one
spot on
supply and demand ... $2000 now
