Would You Cancel An Order For A Typhoon?

[vuster]

I've been thinking about cancelling my order for the Typhoon after hearing all these negative comments about the Typhoons inability to perform. I'm curious to know what others would do in my situation.

Thanks.

it dosent matter what other ppl think about your car.

its your car and u buy it for your own use and if u plan on modding the car later down the track you will have a ball-tearer. I also believe once the typhoon motor loosens up it will perform a little better they just have a few teething problems at the moment but give it time

I bought the typhoon because I thought it would be fast stock standard. I.e. a match for the VZ HSV. I don't want to void warranty and insurance so it's gotta be fast stock standard.

If the Typhoon is not quicker than XR6T then I'm better off saving my 15K and getting the XR6T.

I'm hoping you are right about the motor losening up. Thanks for the advice.

Well, at best the Typhoon will be 0.1s quicker than a manual XR6T, I.e. about 14.0 for the quarter mile.

While it may be 270kW...its got an extra 60kg...

Still looks the part though.

I would just to give ford their wakeup call.

FORD WAAAAAAAAKKEEE UPPPPPPPPP YOU ARE A LAUGHING STOCK.

I still think that a T is better value then then Typhoon. XR6T with lux pack and something like the APS Phase 2!

But then again that's just what I think and everyone has a different opinion.

Good luck!

I will not be buying one now. Simple.

Ohhhh the pain

A lot of F6 bashing going on.

I agree that FPV have made a p*iss poor effort lately and need to tidy it up before it gets any worse.

If your going to buy the first release of any new model then you can expect some issues. At least the F6 has the benefit of all the knowledge gathered from resolving XR6T issues.

My brother purchased one of the very first XR6T's when they were first released, and what a dog of a car it was. Problems with power steering, squeaks, rattles...etc, all been fixed by ford. Now a few years on the quality of the build is much better. In a few months, all the F6 bashing will become ancient history.

The F6 is clearly a better ride to own than the XR6T both from its looks and engineering. The performance question remains unanswered as far as I'm concerned because on paper the F6 is quicker. Surely the 0-100 @ 6.40 sec and 0-400m - [email protected]/h taken by Motor are just anomalies - who know what the condition of the test car is!

The question is the extra coin needed to get in one. If you can afford it, stick with it.

Where's the extra weight in the F6?

I wonder what would be the difference between a T and an F6 if they were both the same weight and tyres etc (and colour if you're pedantic... red goes faster you know)

It just doesnt sound right... why would a car that's $15000 more to buy give the same performance as its 'little' brother? I can appreciate it's looks and I see it has better bits in it, but it doesnt make sense...

Still confused...
