I would rather give the money to Ford than Holden ...Over the next few months I will be decking it out with all Blaupunkt gear..Might even try and enter a few SPL comps..time will tell.Looks like I won't be driving my turbo cortina for a while!!Anyway..I was just so excited that I had to tell you.PS. I have not driven a typhoon yet...better be good.CheersI

15/12/04 10:36 PM15/12/04 10:36 PM #4 Welcome to the Typhoon club turbocorty. I've had my Typhoon on order for a couple of weeks and it has been a emotional rollercoaster ride reading all the posts on this forum. People can do backflips on their opinions on the Typhoon in just a matter of a day and my opinion is that you should just wait awhile and let time tell the full story instead of going emotional on every issue that arises.Don't let these issues make you regret your purchase. I know that in the end I will be happy with the car because I'm not the type of person who will take notice of every little detail of the car. As long as it is comfortable,fast and supplies the torque when I need it, then I will be happy. I'm pretty confident that it would be a great street car.Silver is one of the best colours and it seems that most people are getting that. Only problem is that it's going to be really common for that car. Edited 15/12/04 10:40 PM15/12/04 10:40 PM by vuster
19/12/04 02:27 PM19/12/04 02:27 PM #5 Author This wait is killing me..was originally told I would have it before Xmas...Now it looks like next year some time.Q. Has anyone on this forum run the standard F6 down the 1/4 using "Quick" gear changes? If yes, what times.All am very confused with the times posted in the mags. My standard 225kW VX SS ran a 14.1 sec and I remember having difficulty keeping up with a standard auto XR6T.Q. Has anyone "Flat changed" gears in thier F6? I love flat changing everthing so the F6 will not be an exception! I just hope it holds together.I guess all these questions will be answered once I get my hands on it.G.
