The more you drive it the better it goes @ 3000ks , edit, injectors & APS zorst you will have a pretty decent allround streeter.

Well done mate, you stated earlier you drove a VXSS for a few years, how do you compare them??? My GF's parents own a VXSS and are looking to upgrade and their looking at Expensive Daewoo again but once they drove the ute their having blue oval thoughts in their head. They love the feel of the turbo better then V8. Im talking them into the Phoon. Just need your views....

Yes its true...I finally got delivery.

My review of it is as follows....after 60klm of running in.. NOT!

1st The Gearbox...

I like the way you have to man handle the stick between gears..It makes the whole experience of driving a hottie more enjoyable. After driving a VX SS for three years, the F6 gearbox is much, much better. I like the clutch..works good, feels good.

The power.

With only 90k's on the clock the power is ok but could be better. First gear starts spinning when revs hit 3500rpm... very nice....BUT...  The biggest problem is when changing gears, the power is cut back by the ECU for a second or so before getting up and moving again. This happens with the traction control off, regardless if I flat change or not...This is my biggest disappointment with this vehicle!! I now understand why it performs so bad in the 1/4 mile runs. If this sh*tty limiter was removed, and the full power was available during gear changes, the F6 would easily rip mid/high 13's and be way more enjoyable to drive (Thrash).

Does the Stealth/CAPA ECU upgrade thingies remove this nasty characteristic?

The rest of the car...

Looks as good as the pictures, Drives well, Brakes VERY WELL!.

After driving it for day, I would still choose  Typhoon if I was to buy another car. It is a good combination of Taxi, Family Car, Race Car, Drag Car, Rally Car all in one package.

My modifications to the F6 are going to be mainly on the Audio Visual equipment.

I will post info as it gets done.

Great Car...

Cheers.

That won’t impress some of the F6 knockers that have been abundant in the past on this site..

Although of late I must admit many have been complimentary of late which is pleasing seeing it is a Ford site.

Not bad for a manual and as more get out and about I expect that will drop again..

Go the F6
