2 New Fpv Models Coming........

[Whiplash]

FPV's gunning for the senator, its going to release a new performance luxury model with the release of the BF Mark II.

As far as I know its based on the Fairmont , It will have either the F6 4L or the Boss V8. I haven't seen any pics yet but its going to have a subtle body kit ie no rear spoiler

From what i heard they will be out around the end of OCT.

all BF's will get a face change to look more agressive except the XR's which won't change at all. The Fairmont Ghia looks the best out of all the models (even better than the XR's now)

where did you read this info? do you work for ford?

[Whiplash]

I work for a Large dealership that has a FORD, CHRYSLER / DODGE / JEEP and HYUNDAI franchise. I was asked today if i had told anyone as ford want to keep it a secret until the launch but oh well its only a job and i'm not that attached to it . I'll take some pics on my phone tommorow and put them up here

oh a new Ford....yawn..ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

The Fact that a F6 'phoon will do a 12sec pass with no mods is enough for me to be interested.....

[gtr660hp]

FPV F6 Typhoon

0-100 km/h: 5.35 seconds

Standing 400 m: 13.95 seconds @ 170 km/h

Top Speed: 250 km/h (limited)

That funny cause Ford released the above performance stats-umm dont see a 12 sec anywhere there

The fact that standard they handle like a boat and are no quicker round Qld raceway than a well driven WRX makes me go sleepy nite nite

Theres two.... I know of at least one other as well.

12.9?

Once off i reckon.

They're not that quick at Calder!

[MMM]

ill 2nd that, a black phoon ute and sedan was at WSID last week when i was there, they said late 12s stock!

Now modded with intake kits, cooler and computer, low 12s easy! those autos hammer too!

Another ford to tempt me

[GTR R35]

Guys I can assure you that the FPV Typhoon will do a 12.9 stock.

Myself, I did 7 passes and all were in the 13.2-4 and I weigh 140kg. Another guy that was there with the same car except he had 19"wheels (mine are 18") ran 3 x 12.9's.

The times have been backed up the following week.

Clearly it wasn't a once off...but even if it was, it still ran a 12.9 with an air filter changed....hardly what i'd call modified.

gotta love the one-eyed skyline fans who wont admit the F6 is a good car hehehe.. same goes for every brand i guess..

back on topic, there have been numerous high 12's and low 13sec runs, and i believe there was even a 12.73 run, stock with filter, stock factory dunlops and auto... you must admit that is impressive

[mcnamg]

heres the pics looks like the brochure scans that were mentioned above

wow its a second slower than my 180sx(and 2sec slower than my GTR)

how bout lap times in a stock one....yawn again

Does the auto give a better launch? My mates Typhoon definately isn't 12 sec material. My 34 goes better and would be 13.4 at best.

Is your GTR or 180SX Stock ?

If not, there is NO comparison.

A Worked XR6Turbo ran a 9.98...your GTR...yawn....your 180sx....yawn again

I do not know many people who can tell 1/2 a seconds difference by seat of the pants driving. The Auto makes a huge difference in launching, as manuals just seem to spin the rears or clutch.

The Typhoon is deceptivly quick as the 6 speed auto pulls harder than a 14yo boy.

We are not saying that a Typhoon is better than a Skyline, just informing you of the facts about their real world performance.
