Drif6

[RubyXR6T]

Anyone know why FPV has pulled the Drif6 out of the drifting catergory?

[Fat-Tony]

Maybe they were scared of the warrenty spies voiding the warrenty on the car as it was being used in motorsport

[shockF6]

I was told it had something to do with the amount of hours it was taking FPR to keep the car track ready. and at $150 per hour ford didnt want to keep coughing up the $'s after all the hype settled down

Probably also realised that a practically stock, heavy F6 would be no match for the nimbler jap cars nor the purpose built (awesome engineered) Monaro. I think it's a bit of face saving really!

Didn't they have custom Bilstein suspension ready to go in? That would've made a huge diff (or was it already in? still being modified? meh, cant recall).

Fortunately, not all is lost for us at Bilstein, as we had built a custom suspension system for the car, we now have the means to re-create a similar system for the F6 Typhoon in motorsport.

The Drif6 was some 40 points ahead of the Monaro after round one too.

Its FPV being tight, nothing more. It was mainly a marketing thing to get the phoon out there, and into peoples faces which it did. Job done in their eyes.

I agree though, the heavy F6 was always behind the 8 ball with the light Japs in comp.

Getting cained by 10 year old cars continously and vid footage of them slamming it into a wall dont help either....

Good point.

Have you people seen the guy trying to drift that car?

Id pull out to.. from embarrasment.. That guy trully sucked ass..

[loopism]

I seriously doubt it was the drivers fault, Adam is a good drifter in a more suitable car.

Have you seen one of the D1 guys in the Expensive Daewoo Monaro on Top Gear..

While a car plays a big role in it, so does the driver.
