Bf Typoon Pricing Vs Ba?

[Wee Dougie]

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.

Thanks for the offer to meet up but Im in NZ.

I will definetly drive both before deciding anyway.

I just found out it will cost $10k to get out of my lease early so will ride it out for the last 18mths and check out the Evo 10 and F6 then.

Thanks again for your comments.

Will keep in touch closer to the time, cheers Doug

Thanks Chooka.

Actually the plates were on hold for nearly a year. I was suppose to buy an EVO 8 but the deal fell through due to a crap dealer etc... I had the EVO 8 on hold but I handed them back in and ordered EVO 9. Everyone with an EVO loves em.

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.

You must hang around Saleen pretty often as you are starting to sound like him.

Its alright Jeff I understand. Someone had to take Goosemans spot!....

Match box over Typhoon .NO WAY ITS A JOKE.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Call it a matchbox if you like, but I know what I prefer and what has no headaches and pulls 13.3 sec 1/4 miles of the factory floor. Geez, I dont even have to worry about getting my edit tuned properly and who is going to tune it.

I think I am happy with my matchbox thanks.

And thankyou for your comments, and enjoy driving your tank. I have already owned two previously and dont miss them at all.

P.S I hope you dont take offence. Me and Jeff just babble on and tease each other all the time. He is a bit of a b**ch. Similar to Cro and Saleen. (Ivan and Rob) Except Jeff is Rob in this situation.

Hang on, didn't Turbocorty pull a 13.2 in his F6 Typhoon, stock, off the floor?

Edit: Yep, he sure did!

As for being a tank, I know which I'd rather take to war

~1800kg at 13.2 sir? Yes tanks!
