NOT!1st The Gearbox...I like the way you have to man handle the stick between gears..It makes the whole experience of driving a hottie more enjoyable. After driving a VX SS for three years, the F6 gearbox is much, much better. I like the clutch..works good, feels good.The power.With only 90k's on the clock the power is ok but could be better. First gear starts spinning when revs hit 3500rpm... very nice....BUT... The biggest problem is when changing gears, the power is cut back by the ECU for a second or so before getting up and moving again. This happens with the traction control off, regardless if I flat change or not...This is my biggest disappointment with this vehicle!! I now understand why it performs so bad in the 1/4 mile runs. If this sh*tty limiter was removed, and the full power was available during gear changes, the F6 would easily rip mid/high 13's and be way more enjoyable to drive (Thrash).Does the Stealth/CAPA ECU upgrade thingies remove this nasty characteristic?The rest of the car...Looks as good as the pictures, Drives well, Brakes VERY WELL!.After driving it for day, I would still choose Typhoon if I was to buy another car. It is a good combination of Taxi, Family Car, Race Car, Drag Car, Rally Car all in one package.My modifications to the F6 are going to be mainly on the Audio Visual equipment.I will post info as it gets done.Great Car...Cheers.

Are you saying that the ECU retards the engine after each gear change? that's the first time l have heard an owner mention that, it must take the shine off driving it l would think, especially if having a bit of a squirt. It would be good if an edit could remove these "torque tags"Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
