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)

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 :D. I'll take some pics on my phone tommorow and put them up here :O

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

12.9 with nothing changed but an air filter mate.

12.9 with nothing changed but an air filter mate.

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 ;)

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.

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

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

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

:dry:

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 :P

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.

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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
