tur Flight 6 Member 471 Member For: 21y 8m 21d Posted 22/02/06 01:59 PM Share Posted 22/02/06 01:59 PM Just was flicking through the new wheels mag, and they had some olympic test day there was a HSV r8 and 6L SS, sti evo9, but no xr6 turbo or Typhoon? I wonder why? maybe the typhoon would of killed all the cars on track and left them wondering, that's the conclusion I have some down to and I think I am wright.

Maybe the question should be "Why is there no GT or XR8"?

Posted 23/02/06 10:40 PM Share Posted 23/02/06 10:40 PM Is it just me or does it seem that Holden/HSV always make their cars available for these mags?Maybe after the clutch problem with the Typhoon ages ago Ford are a little gun shy about giving their cars to them as they just thrash the sh*t out of them, don't get me wrong I love reading about other people thrashing their cars but I'd hate to think what state they come back in...The problem is, it gives the Expensive Daewoo army ammo against Ford because it outwardly seems that they are unwilling to provide their cars for a comparo... shame really...Jack :biglaugh: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/23592-no-xr6-turbo-or-typhoon-wheels-mag/#findComment-352784 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurricane Member 11 Member For: 19y 1m 29d Posted 27/02/06 12:56 AM Share Posted 27/02/06 12:56 AM Guys,Please read the articles in Wheels March edition carefully.You'll see that there are at least 10 cars there that could give the F6 Typhoon a hiding on the track.You'll also note that the reason FPV or Ford did not provide a test vehicle was that "they were up to their armpit" upgrading their vehicles.How long has the BF range been released now? What upgrading are they referring to? Sounds more like excuses to me! Not to mention Ford's build quality issues!Don't flame me, just a statement of fact.RegardJacques Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/23592-no-xr6-turbo-or-typhoon-wheels-mag/#findComment-353858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
