Evil F6 Donating Members 830 Member For: 19y 5m 1d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 04/10/06 09:00 AM Author Share Posted 04/10/06 09:00 AM The extra weight is a bit of a myth. My MkII XR6T sedan weighed 1760kgs, the F6 Typhoon weighs 1780kgs. Both weights taken with a full tank, no driver or passenger, spares etc all in place.←Is this true? Every spec I've seen says Xr6T weighs 1690-1720kg, F6 1805kg!How can all that additional equipment, bigger wheels, brakes, sound system only add 20kg.Anyway irrespective of weights, do you notice any difference. Motor and Wheels are always saying how you can feel the extra lard of the Xr8 over Xr6T and my understanding was XR8 and F6 are similar weight.Cheers←Yes it's true, I'd have no reason to not tell the truth. My T did have premium brakes and premium audio, however I cannot see that adding any significant weight.The suspension package I ran in the T I now run in the F6, so handling is identical except for the difference in tyres.←Ok guys, you've convinced me to have a look at the BFPhoon. I like to take things out my cars anyway, so that weight penalty won't last long.Now to choose between XR6T/F6 or STi Impreza. Don't laugh.

Yes completely different, but I like smaller lighter cars in general, although the lure of the massive performance potential of the F6 is hard to resist. Still a 300kW/500Nm STi goes very hard too.
