Ok so im new here so be nice.

So I am looking into buying a Typhoon.

Have decided to go back to ford after playing v8s with holden.

Went for a test drive of the new typhoon with auto and had a go of the Gt too.

So The question is what are the differences with the BA mk2 and the Bf ??

I have seen some great prices on new old stock BAmk2,s in 6 speed manual.

and was thinking that this may be a good way to go but the new

auto was very good.

Im not in too much of a rush so maybe I should wait till the end of the year if there is anything new coming out I should wait for.

Any comments welcome.

Mr unit

I cant see Ford or FPV doing any major updates to there current line up in the next 6 to 12 month. If you are intrested there are 3 BA F6 Typhoon run outs here in S.A for $48000 drive away one has 5 Kms on the clock.

I had a look at them on Saturday and tell you what bargin of the decade almost $20000 off a new one.

Tough car!

If you want a manual go for the MK11 BA Typhoon. If you prefer the best of both worlds go for an '05 plate BF Auto. You won't regret it.

I paid $59,000 for mine.

Yeah I liked the auto but the price is a good 12000 difference for the ba mk2

very good buying.

Have allready talked to a dealer in SA and the have 3 but one had $5000 added.

Was it a blue, black and orangy one that was for sale Typhoon????

If so I have been talking to a guy from there about this.

I would love to know if that was the drive away price on sat for only 48000 a bit better quoted than what I was. Maybe I can get it down to that.

Mr unit

If you are after a manual, there is not enought difference to justify the BA to the BF if you can save that much on a BA runout.

But (being biased here) an Auto F6 is the best choice you can get in one of these cars.

The main differences between the BA and the BF are:

Auto only in BF

different bodykits

Brembo's are standard

Minor interior trim differences

Euro 3 compliance in BF only

uummmm that's about it

Thanks for the help guys

I think I want the BF and I will wait a while I have a feeling I should go the new auto.

And if I can hold out for 6 months we will see how much I can get one for then.

Mr unit

They are pretty much the same, however the BF comes in auto, different door trims, uglier (imo) bodykit.

Hi there.

Mr unit (what does that mean??) You should buy now!! Dont wait! And then lets go drag racing!! ( @ wsid of course )

I heard too, that FPV did a lot of work to improve the NVH in the BF. Apparently a much quieter (in a good way - less rattles and road noise) ride in the BF.

Having said that, I haven't driven a BA and BF back to back to compare them.

I was in the same boat as you a month or so ago, I had the choice of Run Out Mark 2 GTs and F6s and an option on a BF as well.

In the end I chose the mark 2 GT manual as I didnt want an auto, however the 6 speed auto in the Typhoon is good, never tried one in a GT as It just had to have the 6 speed manual.

The Mark 2s were a good price and I nearly took an F6 but I wanted to give a GT a whirl, the Mark 2 FPVs sure are good cars especially if you get a good run out price and low interest rate

The BFs are nice cars but I saved a heap of cash and got a great car.

If you are after an auto you need a BF, no question.

Good Luck and either way you will love the car you pick
