Typhoon

Michael please try to do as much as you can to get the Typhoon into pcoty, we need it in there it will be its only real chance to show oz how good/bad it is.Yes Fpv have f*cked up but it is your duty as a jerno for the people please dont let us down now. I have stuck buy motor for years and if you guys dont do your up most, up most, up must to get or keep that car in there I`m sorry but you have let us all down. f*ck Fpv if there doing things wrong we need a review!!! PLEASE PLEASE.

sorry mate but I think you are a bit of a ......... you are missing the point complety and by the way ford and fpv have both responded to my emails. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah I agree with u there ............ what did they say Typhoon??? Rob... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well firstly I`m not allowed to post there email but in short they told me that the email is greatly appreciated and it has been forwarded to the design teams in fpv and ford. They also went ahead and said ford cares about making top quality performance cars and are passionate and excited about there future line up. that's about it really hey I`m happy they responded.

sorry mate but I think you are a bit of a ......... you are missing the point complety and by the way ford and fpv have both responded to my emails.

[url=http://www.fpv.com.au/index.asp?link_id=31'>http://www.fpv.com.au/index.asp?link_id=31 Lest Just see What sort of response we get, lets tell them what we want in our Fpv`s We are not happy to know Hsv`s stock cars can beat our modded turbos (well aps stage one and almost stage two). We need some bragging rights something just so we can say I Owen a Fpv and shut people up. Fpv must understand that it’s in there best interest to give the public something that is with out doubt special and unique. Like a gutted out version of a BA one of run of 300 units, If you don’t want air con you don’t get it if you don’t want fast glass no worries, no fancy crap get the dam thing down to 1450kg stick in it the typhoon motor plus 150kws and call it something like fpv sor (special order racer). I don’t know who cares what its called as long as it has bone jarring suspension v8 supercar brakes and a semi street track rubber. It can cover the ¼ in 11.5 and lap Philip Island in 1. 25 sec. Now ok that might be a bit much but could you imagine the hype it would be awesome so get to them let them know. I HAVE SENT THIS TO FORD/FPV www.xr6turbo.com.au

Agree Pashen, We need to invite them to our forum...SO THEY CAN WAKE UP! Rob... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have sent them a email of this thred they prob wont respond

you have got to be kiding right?

Yeah from a business point of view I agree. Also I was expecting the car to be worth in excess of 100,000 so 80,000 isnt to bad I guess if you have got the cash <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If I had $80k I'd be buying a T and dropping one of the nizpro 1000hp jobbies into it. It'd blow any Expensive Daewoo off the strip. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dont have 80 either so dont bother thinking about what I would do. By the time you buy the Turbo at say 40 and spend another 38 on that engine and get drive line etc done you will blow 80 easily <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But you will still be driving a T <{POST_SNAPBACK}> guys its got nothing to do with $$$$ or mods its a mass marketing problem that ford/fpv has just think about it this way if they dont get buyes to buy there cars then there will be nothing to mod

$78.690 I do understand what your saying but im trying to look at this from a busness point of view, of selling motor cars and getting new custormers

I think your missing the point im trying to make, Ford want to be leaders well they have to start leading. They first need to sell a stock car before someone can mod it. Besides an aps stage 1 would still only just run with a stock hsv

Motor Jan 05, Gen4 Hsv Gto coupe, hot day (AUTO) 0/100kmh in 4.99 0/400meters in 13.09@179.4kph They also think it can get into the 12`s This is getting stupid! Good on you Holden for having the guts to do it. However I still think they are irresponsible, they know power and speed sell and they just wont let up on it. I hate to say it, although I will never own a Expensive Daewoo I think ford have got a real problem on their hands. Lets face it guys the boss motor needs to rev and it never will there cars are to heavy and for now have missed there chance with the Typhoon. (Best car in oz period) In the next few months guys don’t be surprised if stock Hsv`s are one second faster over the 1/4mile than Fpv`s, and as good as we all know the Ba is the Fpv product will simply not have the creed that Hsv deserves. I know ford is worried of another supercar scare like back in the 1970s. After all it was there cars that caused it, but if they don’t do something about Hsv, than all there hard work they have done in the last 5 years will not grow to what it deserves to be. Ford take a RISK give us a GTHO or a gutted out street racer anything the longer you let Hsv have ALL the bragging rights the harder you will find to peg them back in, be it on the strip or in the showroom. (I LOVE FORD) I have also sent this to fpv and ford

His a toss bag

Holdens dreaming it will never take of, thay just have to addmit that fords got one over them and that is that. besides if the put any more dam power through that pice of crap chasie the things going to fall apart around there custormers

Mine is xr6t

have you even read the story its fairrom stock $12000 worth of brakes nismo geometre tune up front plus a full spected up engine rebuld.Stock my ass

look geeseman the typhoon is the fastest car in oz history! Look at the 80/120 rolling run and you will find in every gear its faster then anything else ever in oz I wish everyone would stop looking at 1/4 mile times and open there dam eyes!!!

Little problems maybe, but large consistant problems are what ford are famous for! Might be alright if they could fix them the first time too, maybe <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I do understand all car companys are the bloody same

I`m talking about the cars speed who cares about little probs my uncles 03 M3 needed a new gearbox at 6700km, the Typhoon is the fastest australian car ever built and that is now fact.There will always be problems with cars as long as thay keep bulding them its just the way it is, Expensive Daewoo replaced almost 20% of all gen3s sold between the years 99 and 01 now that's a problem

mine is on its way have you had probs with yours?

400m times mean nothing ford have deliberately geared the Typhoon so it wont out muscle the Gt`s down the strip. However the roll on 80/120kmh times in each gear don’t only say its faster then the Gt, but the fastest car ever built in Australia. That tittle I’m sure we will all agree is held buy the Gts commodore, the best ¼ mile time that a mag has ever run is a 13.36, by motor mag on a sticky air strip in pcoty back in 2002, which has never been duplicated again by them or any other mag for that mater. Here are the roll on figures for the ford Fpv Gt, Hsv Gts, and Fpv Typhoon all manuals of course. Wheels June 2004 roll on 80/120kmh for Hsv Gts 3rd gear 4.1 4th gear 5.9 5th gear 9.1 6th gear 13.5 Wheels December 2004 roll on 80/120kmh for Fpv Gt 3rd gear 4.2 4th gear 6.0 5th gear 7.5 6th gear 11.4 Wheels December 2004 roll on 80/120kmh for Fpv F6 Typhoon 3rd gear 3.8 4th gear 4.7 5th gear 6.8 6th gear 9.6 As you can plainly see the Typhoon is in another leigh in 5th and 6th gear. Faster in every other it blows the Gts and Gt away, it will never be faster on the strip due to a taller 1st gear and shorter finale drive but on the street there will be no Australian built factory car that will even run up side it, the Typhoon will just hose them. So all you guys and girls that keep crying over the Typhoons times take a chill pill because at the end of the day ford want to sell motor cars not ¼ mile time slips. (I LOVE FORD)!!!!

Thanks for the invite bluexr6Turbo but im in and out of adeliade so often it would be hard for me to be in a club at the moment. p.s my typhoon has not been deliverd yet let alone run in for dyno work

Ok thanks what about the nizpro kit and insurance probs? Thanks for your help

Xr6t modifications what is illegal and what is not Hi all, just was wondering I’m in s.a and would an aps kit or a nizpor kit be illegal on my car? We have pretty tuff laws over here and I don’t want my new toy to be a defect on wheels. Plus you have to deal with insurance company’s, how has everyone gone with that? Is there someone in s.a I should be calling for official info, your comments are appreciated. P.S sorry if this has already been covered.

great add love it very smart kills holdens
