Hey guys just test drove a typhoon with the clutch fix and the computer flash, well from the first time I drove it when they came out I have to say the car feels so much stronger and quicker. My dealer friend and I connect the gtech to it and went on the freeway. To my amazment with my and him in the car both at 100kg each we managed a 1/4 time of 13.76 @ 105mph on a gtech, I didn't get the 0-100 to busy looking at the window of how fast this thing was picking up. I am pretty impressed now and will be placing a order in for a Shockweave Typhoon. THe 13.76 was done with a crappy lauch not the best launch u could do, but the clutch is so light compared to my T, everyone just stares at the car in shockwave anyway. Then we tryed again not to bad launch but had to back of cause the car infront was coming close and we managed a 14.2 backing-off before the 1/4 finished.

WIth one person in the car and a better launch there is a 13.5- 13.6 in this car for sure, just judging from the way it just pulled.

Imagine in AUto form these cars will be illegal hheheh.

ahhh that's more like it... , seems the FPV improvments have finally worked...im still abit about the clutch though...

How was the clutch pick up point? Ive heard the original batch had a fairly high pick up point, making the launches pretty hard

Its taken a while but at last the typhoon and FPV are BACK IN BUSINESS...

If only I found 60k sitting around somewhere to afford one

Hey, yeah the clutch pick up is still pretty high and it was very light compared to my T, very hard to lauch correctly you either bogged it or just span a bit and it was off, once it gripped it just covered the ground in no time, I still reckon theirs a a better time than a 13.76 in it, it felt so stroung in gear, just that lauch was hard to perfect, you have to get used to it and you will definetly pull the numbers, The dealer drove it got a not bad launch but had to back of before the 1/4 over due to cars in front and got a 14.2 (Backing Off).

Sounds like the new times could easily vary a second between Wheels and Motor then, Wheels loading the car 2 up and probably do their usual 3 runs, drop the slowest and average the fastest 2, and Motor possibly dedicating a whole morning to getting the best out of the car. All sounds positive though, dont think Motor have run 13.7 in a T yet, so at least they wont have the argument ".....and it wasnt even fast...." anymore. Can you tell im anxious for the official retest

Hi guys.just wondering how acurate these gtech thingys are.

Are you able to get it to the track for a run at all.

will it be in Junes addition or wheels and or motor?

Sorry a bit off topic, but how does the typhoons exhaust note sound compar to the XR6T. I am in love with the T's note...and just wondering wat the typhoon sounds like....deeper...gruntyer? higher..not as strong?

Thanks.

arent they the same zorst as the T?

I doesnt matter it would sound filth anyway
