RapidF6Typhoon

Funny, as my invoice clearly shows a fleet buyers discount !

Isn't the F6 cooler 50% bigger then the xr6t unit ?

The dealer told you so, right it must be true.....have you ever heard the saying ...wake up and smell the roses.....good luck, you WILL need it.

Yep BA !

The end of November and the pack came within a couple of weeks, surprised me how quickly I got it.

I've got my track day next week at Oran Park, anyone else booked for this ?

Can anyone confirm the rim offsets on both the front and rear rims. Page 149 of the owners manual states : "The rear wheels fitted to F6 Typhoon vehicles have a different offset to the front wheels and MUST NOT be fitted to the front axle. Rear wheels are labelled "REAR USE ONLY" on the reverse face of the wheel." So from this can we assume that the spare is a front rim that can be fitted to either the rear or front ?? thanks

How many K's on it??? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 3200 kms

What gear was the car dyno'd in? 550Nm at the flywheel is multiplied through the trans and diff and will usually give a higher reading at the rears. The lower the gear tested the higher the torque figure shown. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 4th....

I know, its huge.......I would think it was impossible out of a stock car.

A local shop got a dyno and put on a day for the locals, decided to run the Typhoon up for a run. Results : 228.86 RWKW (306.9HP) 709.23 Nm Torque (523.1 Ftlb) I also ran up my coupe and the results were consistant with other dyno runs at different shops, however the torque figure seems huge......can this be correct ? My brother also ran up his car and the results were also spot on ! Only mod to the Typhoon is a K&N filter.

I must say I find the pricing on these cars all over the place. I ended up with a Sep 05 BA with leather, sunroof, tint and mats for 54k drive away...so if you take the options off the car that comes down to about 48.5k Is the Auto worth an extra 10K ?? yeh maybe. How can FPV afford to discount these cars so much. If you take my 48.5k that's around a 20k discount. No wonder the price of new cars drops so much in the first 12 months. I tossed with the idea of waiting for the BF but at that time no dealer even had pricing for the BF, however I was constantly told they (FPV dealers) would not discount these cars in the 1st year of sale.. Looks like its fairly common place to get a 10k discount already. Is it that hard to get them to discount, or do they say "that will be 70k thanks" and then you simply say...."ummm what about a discount", then it's hang on I'll check. Then come back to you and its now "that will be 60k thanks" I really wonder if any poor punter has paid full wack on a new F6

Welcome to Club Rapid !!

So just a re-cap please, what options did you end up with and at what price ?
