Bought it thinking it was only slightly damaged in the rear - came with a few surprises - lets just say it needed a rebuild.. hahaha im assuming this car was not standard in its previous owners hands.. Anyways long story short - forged pistons and rods, few other mods and tuning - couldnt be happier with it. Black + black wheels + red leather interior.Plates were TIPSY6 in melbourne.. if anyone knows the owner I would love to know what the hell the story with this car was lol? Also have a question - I see different numbers of how many of these were mad.. is there a definate number.. mines #91 =)

Have a Force 6 in my 2 favourite colours. But the money didnt work out. :(I've heard 2 different build figures for these cars. Russellw on AFF will swear black and blue its 65, and if you have another number your wrong. But when I asked FPV, they told me 99. Since yours is the first I've heard of above build number 61, then it would have to be 99 cars.

Apparently there were about 110 built. I will clear this up soon as I find the article/s again. I would have also presumed there were a certain number produced for each model, not just 1?

It states there were a total of 99 Force 6's built. Unless someone can prove otherwise then there's no reason to doubt this number.Cheers
Edge33 New Member 11 Member For: 17y 9m 9d Posted 01/08/13 01:53 AM Posted 01/08/13 01:53 AM Yes BJ, your Force 6 #90 is the highest number I've seen to date.
Edge33 New Member 11 Member For: 17y 9m 9d Posted 01/08/13 02:12 AM Posted 01/08/13 02:12 AM Torkfreik, there was no limited production run for the Force models. A 10k premium over the F6 at the time was enough to keep the sale numbers low. Plus they were only on sale for around 18 months before the FG arrived.
