Personally, I doubt it. Both cars modified will get the same treatment, so how will a modified Typhoon be better(or more powerful) than a modified T?Eg. both cars would run an Edit. both cars would get Bosch 968's both cars would get a bigger intercooler.(yes, even the phoon) both cars would get Walbro fuel pump.Yeah, I suppose you have to decide where to draw the line. A certain level of mods would remove any power advantage that the phoon might have had, as the hardware responsible is removed, or altered.The original comparo was an edited T to a stock F6. My point (perhaps not communicated very well) was that if you edited the stock F6, it would (could/should?) be back on top.I think.

F6 RAPID Formerly Turbo6 Donating Members 2,332 Member For: 22y 3m 18d Location: North Brisbane Posted 21/08/05 09:26 AM Share Posted 21/08/05 09:26 AM I do not doubt Corty's time whatsoever in his stock F6.I had the pleasure of a standing start against a brand spankers Maloo yesterday (private road of course), it was an auto and standard - the driver told me afterwards. The Maloo got about a half a car head start and the 'phoon caught him and put an easy half a car by the end of first, another full car by the end of second and was pulling away to lock me up territory. I absolutely love the shift buzzer. Just steer the car and change gears son!Imagine what that guy will think if he is unlucky enough to pull up beside it after next Saturday................ (that is when the Nizpro kit, exhaust and tuning will be finished) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/19560-finally-went-for-a-ride-in-a-phoon/page/2/#findComment-285036 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xrtwpn Guests Posted 21/08/05 09:56 AM Share Posted 21/08/05 09:56 AM An xr6t will always be faster its simple they are lighter and they are auto even when the typhoon comes out in auto the T will still be quicker due to weight, same mods on both cars will give the same power figures just like a modded SS and modded HSV Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/19560-finally-went-for-a-ride-in-a-phoon/page/2/#findComment-285043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
