Guest Guests Posted 09/03/06 07:06 AM Share Posted 09/03/06 07:06 AM Well done indeed, A long time in the making, but finally. Great results but does anyone else apart form me think that Ford/FPV are holding back? The 6 speed auto is great, as too is traction control for the utes and various other niceties (DSC) but with what they have created initially with the BA to now BF, why are they still insisting on only giving the bare minimum in engine output every time a new series or version is released. Refining the little things is fantastic but now they've done so, when are they going to wind out a 300kw plus vehicle, especially since the new technologies will allow for it. Damn it, I just want them to release an ass kicking two version of the Typhoon, give it 300kw + and call it the F6-C.

To all those oppose, I'd crap a duck egg Ford/FPV ever released such a thing. Potential names.

F6 RAPID Formerly Turbo6 Donating Members 2,332 Member For: 22y 5m 13d Location: North Brisbane Posted 09/03/06 09:08 AM Share Posted 09/03/06 09:08 AM Geez, if we can punch this sort of power out of the F6 aftermarket, why can't Ford just turn it up to 12-13psi and absolutely annihilate all comers? Real hard.I know, I know..............It wouldn't be "responsible motoring" blah, blah, blah Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/23871-motors-oz-performance-car-showdown/page/5/#findComment-357999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romulus Donating Members 1,279 Member For: 20y 5m 17d Location: Perth Posted 09/03/06 11:28 AM Share Posted 09/03/06 11:28 AM Did anyone notice the number of pages devoted to HSV in the mag? Pages 44 to 48 (Export Duties), then a 4 pages spread (pages 50 to 53) and page 146 (Skidmarks). This does not include the SS ad in the front cover. The F6 might have won but it looks like most of the mag is devoted to HSV. So much so, they're giving them away.*note to HSV's marketing department*with so much advertising I almost went and bought a bloody HSV ......nah just kidding, couldn't lower myself to that level yet Poor HSV/Expensive Daewoo my be bleeding by now with the success of the BF Falcon / FPV range Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/23871-motors-oz-performance-car-showdown/page/5/#findComment-358051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
