Guest EGOXRT Guests Posted 17/02/08 12:42 AM Share Posted 17/02/08 12:42 AM This thing better has some revolutionary mechanical advances, because cosmetically it ain't happening. That all new model vibe isn't quite there, not like the VE achieved.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hard-on Member 134 Member For: 18y 3m Posted 17/02/08 01:28 AM Share Posted 17/02/08 01:28 AM This sounds good, can't wait to see what fpv has got to offer.http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleD...p;pg=1&vf=0The new FG Falcon turbo has a similar output to the FPV Typhoon (270kW/533Nm versus 270kW/550Nm) but improvements to electronics, driveability and the way it transmits the power to the road as well as revisions to the transmissions (including a new six-speed manual). It also has a Formula One-style launch control mode for the manual designed to improve initial acceleration, suggesting a 0-100km/h time of a little over five seconds should be achievable.
