tracy on the today show talked about this thismorning. Stupid bitch has NFI

Steave: have you seen the new Ford that's coming out

Tracy: oh yes the (looks a paper) FPV F6 Typhoon, a hotted up version of the (looks at paper again) XR6 (looks again) T

Steave: yes it will give the euros a run for there money

Tracy: yes cars are getting to fast, the Typhoon does 100km/h in 2nd

steave: :(

realy these people give me the shits

Hahaha that article just had me laughing in the canteen! Since when has "thrust" been a term for cars...I don't reacall too many falcons having Jet-engines?

It's extremely laughable, once again the ignorant in the population are being warned against cars that can reach in excess of 200Kmh omg! Pffft my corolla could do that, it was no supercar!

The comparison of the torque outputs was quite amusing though...considering the Porsche had a massive power advantage, build quality advantage...and basically the fact it's a way better car that would feel quite stable at "supercar" speeds.

Once again no interesting story to occupy the front page, so let's scare the general public with misinformation.

It's not about top speed, it's how fast you get to the speed limit :(

LOL most cars will do more than that in 2nd!!!!!!

lol i know, that comment pissed me off, they were just trying to use scare tactics like the govenment. 100km/h in 2nd means SFA, my woo (77kw) does 90km/h in 2nd.

they went on to say that Ford won't release it's top speed, and they were going to make it there mission to find out.

my woo (77kw) does 90km/h in 2nd

Yeah that's why Daewoo have folded in Aus,....knocking out those bloody 77Kw supercars...90Kmh that's just *too* fast on Australian roads hahahaha only topped by that rediculously fast Falcon :(

The same thing happened 30 years ago with the Ford GT Phase 3 and Monaro Oz muscle cars, the press kicked up a stink about these rolling "killing machines" and government pressure was applied to stop the manufacture of these cars and the Australian Automobile industry was put back 15 years behind the European, Japanese and American car industries.

Not because of not having fast cars, but because the research and development into getting more power from less energy was not allowed to water down to the family car, meaning we had these gas guzzling cars with no power to drive the kids around.

meh 2 cents

I wonder with a 130kmh speedo if the speed beep beep aleart that you can set would still go all the way out to 190kmh...

How silly can they be!

While on Bris31 last nite on DW motorTV or whatever its called they had some custom built super car, that could do 0-200kmh in 7.8sec, had a top speed over 400kmh, and 1200+hp. But if that car was brought over here for a car show, it would be something the press hailed as being this unbeliveably great car!

And what about Bently Turbo Rs? And even a number of the high powered 4x4s they can motor along pretty quick.

I say they need to pull their heads out of their arse thats just bloody dumb:pissed: , looking at it if Oz falcon can be imported to UK & the US & such how much money would australia make out of it + kicken the shit out of some of the euros :kick: , if they start this shit again like with the GTHO's we will end up even futher behind the 8 ball then what australia is, the biggest prob is not how power full/fast a car is its selling them to a nutter that will push it to the max on public roads but again it comes back to the old one "SAVE IT FOR THE TRACK"

    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
