Fpv F6 Typhoon

[GTR R35]

Guys,

For the people at the December club dinner will remember that I have ordered a FPV BF Typhoon, well I got it today.

For the people who do not know this car, it is a 270kw, 6 speed ZF Auto and HUGE brembo brakes.

Stock its good for a 13.2 1/4 and is one hell of a drive.

The build quality is much better than my previous XR6Turbo, so overall I am estatic with the new car.

Here are some pics.

Mate,

That is one nice machine... hope you treat her well.

man, so jealous

Great car!

But why Auto, surely a cog swapper is avaliable...........

Out of interest, how heavy is the car (should state it on your rego sticker)?

[TommO]

13.2... I didn't think they were that fast stock? Certainly not what MOTOR/Wheels etc got out of them.

Awesome none the less Love it..

sexy car dude, congrats!

before i got the skyline i was about to fork out 30k for an xr6 turbo.. looking at that makes me wonder what could've been!

[N1GTR]

Yeah i remember you saying you had ordered one.....niiiiice

[GTR R35]

The car is 1800kg wet.

I have owned 22 manuals and 2 autos.

I could have got a manual, but the 6sp ZF Auto is a unbelievable gearbox. It is like no other auto I have ever driven. My XR6T was a manual and while it was fun, it did not suite the Turbo motor as it dumped boost each gearchange, where the auto just keeps pulling all the way.

As for the 13.2, there have been several stock BF F6's that have run this time with everything totally stock. Once the motor free's up they may be good for a flat 13, if you stall it up. I also think it would break into the 12's with drag radials.

I do not know why Wheels and Motor cannot get good times, but it may have to do with the fact they tested it on a 40deg c day and as we all know turbos do not like hot days.

Congrats on the new toy Mal!

Now with whom do we place the bets for how long the rear tyres last?

[Beer Baron]

yeah yeah, it's real nice and all but where is the pic with the cloud of smoke pouring off the rear tyres??? geez. surely it's ready for some 'testing' now!!! haha. c'mon mal, pull your finger out!! lol

good to see it arrive though. I have to say i really quite like the interior. be sure to bring it to the next dinner. and the next track day!

[N1GTR]

$20 on 10 to 40 days before he needs new rears

If it was mine i would easily need them by 40 days
