Bf Typoon Pricing Vs Ba?

[Phoon Hoon]

The lease on my current car runs out next April. I will be upgrading to the Phoon as it is a great cruiser with heaps of kick for when you need it...

I also have three kids and need to fit 2 boosters and a baby seat in the back. Try doing that with an EVO!

Thanks guys, you've confirmed a few of the things that I was worried about, like comfort on longer drives, Im in the car for 3 - 4 hrs every 2nd day and the fact that it is so much smaller in size, yes I do have small kids.

The Evo over here (NZ) is expected to be about $60k retail while the new BF Typhoon is $72k retail (that's like 150 sheep!).

Do you think its worth getting the BA (run out) with the FPV brakes and save some bucks or wait for the BF which has the Brembo brakes standard but pay the extra for the new model??

[F6 UTE]

What mods has the 9 got????

AWD,206klw,manual,launch control,1/2 tonne lighter etc etc

Tried going round corners in the GT behind an evo? or even a focus????????

Not yet but I'll give it a try and I know I will out handle your leaf spring  ute you mention the focus(which was 5 sec a lap slower) just like the stooge did that makes you a stooges STOOGE

I went through the same decision process very recently. I'd say that if you come across a top-notch F6 runout deal, that it would be very hard to pass up. Great cars. There's not a huge amount of difference between the BA and BF F6s. You're essentially buying the same engine etc, with the small changes that come with the Euro III compliance. I think the styling is a bit more unique in the BF F6, but it looked strong in the first place with the BA. Brembos rate highly for me, but you could always fit them aftermarket to a BA F6.

I have had 2x XR6 Turbo's previously and was looking at getting a Typhoon but chose the EVO 9 over it. I tell you what I have no regrets.

I have already placed a verbal order on the EVO 10 already.

Thanks bud, did you drive the Phoon before purchasing the Evo?

Would I get sick of the Evo doing 40,000 kms per year?

I have a friend who has an Evo 8 and he thought I might find it a little tiring after a while.

The XR is such a great cruiser.

Love the new look of the concept car, hope it doesnt look too different at production.

Yeah, I made sure I drove the phoon before I decided with the EVO, but the EVO stood well above the rest, even the new STI. I have already done 3500kms in the EVO and I am not sick of it yet. The EVO 9 drives much better than the EVO 8 as I have driven both as well. The EVO 9 has much more torque than the EVO 8 and responds much better as well. You can virtually go around the corners in third gear and accelerate out of them with ease. I would be more than happy for you to come around or meet up and compare. I am in Sydney though. What you will find that it is smaller for your passengers compared to a Typhoon. It doesnt bother me and I have a wife and 2 kids.

[XRSEX]

Looks like you and XRSEX have some unresolved issues? 

Im 6 3" and wonder if the Evo will be too small?

The Phoon is definetly the tougher looking car eh. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

All resolved mate he had his ass handed to him 3 or 4 times I lost count and he's only 5.0 ft so it suits him

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You wish!...

I think we might have another Saleen member here!

P.S Sorry Rob.

I might be only 5 foot something but its what is below the belt that counts.

Show em what you like...At least I dont have the Edit Shmedit!...and not too mention exhaust and whatever you have done to it. If you read the latest Motor magazine you will find that a stock standard EVO 9 will pull 13.3 1/4 Mile. Dont worry mate I might suprise you on the way to the Snowies.

Dont worry Jeff everyone knows the the truth mate...Why dont you show em the part of the video where I pulled 5 or 6 cars on you when we took off at the lights. I had to slow down and wait for you.

[BALLBREAKER]

Match box over Typhoon .NO WAY ITS A JOKE.
