Naturally ... can't see any reason why it wouldn't be now that the specs are all on the table. 550NM of torque from 2000 rpm in a lighter car and lower final drive and virtually the same gearbox ratios.

Is there any confirmation of the weight of the typhoon? Will be interesting to see how it weighs in comparison with the T Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12557-how-fast-do-you-expect/page/4/#findComment-177698 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see how it weighs in comparison with the T It's based on Fairmont so expect about 50-60kg above a T. Still just under the GT by 50kg I would reckon.

Buf-Phoon loitering with intent Lifetime Members 13,318 Member For: 21y 8m 20d Gender: Male Location: Zombie Birdhouse Posted 19/10/04 12:05 PM Share Posted 19/10/04 12:05 PM can't see the F6 running better than a 13.7 sec 400 m as a manual, despite the lashings of torque down low. Ford will not humiliate the GT in such a fashion.Why screw your margins. Tis a business after all.More importantly can I bolt my phase 2 bits straight on? 18 months a 6 speed auto.............Then we have a Typhoon 300+ at the wheels And a nice ride to boot I just want one Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12557-how-fast-do-you-expect/page/4/#findComment-177775 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we'll have to wait for the motor mag review next month Where do you get 40 kgs EXTRA for the gearbox??? - the whole damn thing (T56)only weighs about 58kg I think ... Anyway the GT will have the same box ... duh!

Guest Gilto Guests Posted 20/10/04 07:10 AM Share Posted 20/10/04 07:10 AM I talked to one of the FPV rep's at the SMS who seemed pretty switched on (probably shouldn't mention his name) and he said in testing the F6 was running mid 13's EASILY but it did see times as fast as 13.1 Not sure the truth in that but I'm just the messenger.................
