Posted 20/02/06 10:31 PM Share Posted 20/02/06 10:31 PM A modded T will always be a Fast T and a modded Phoon will always be a Fast Phoon so what do you want a T or a F6F6 for me anyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think wisely about manual vs the auto though....id say that's your biggest decision in the ford stable right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest newl Guests Posted 20/02/06 11:23 PM Share Posted 20/02/06 11:23 PM The Typhoon wins hands down. I've owned a turbo as well. I've also had other production vehicles (both in Australia and the U.S.) and without a doubt, bang for buck, the Typhoon is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing it doesnt have is the F6 status - but the First 9 second status lives on - and is something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 26d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 21/02/06 12:18 AM Share Posted 21/02/06 12:18 AM Having owned both, I can say the F6 wins hands down, but what Cobra said also makes sence if you want to go for a manual.I do not see the point in loosing so much money on trading up from your current weapon to a F6 is you are going to buy a manual.The F6 seems to be made for the ZF auto, so this would be the choice of gearbox in that car.
