PASHEN Member 868 Member For: 20y 11m 13d Location: Need one.. Posted 21/08/06 08:32 PM Share Posted 21/08/06 08:32 PM Hi everyone,Does anyone know what we can expect from the BF Mk II?I spoke to a dealer yesterday who said there are no power increases in the XR8's and XR6T's. In fact, the only changes are dash and trim. Is that right?What about FPV? He told me I'll have to wait until late December for the Mk II FPV's and again, there are no power increases! If this is right, the blue oval will be behind the eight ball compared to Expensive Daewoo and HSV.I want to order a Typhoon ASAP, but wonder if there is any point waiting for the upcoming release.Come on Ford and FPV...don't let us down.

The optional ones will still be available but will cost less then they do now.All cars get new rimsLooks like engines stay the same but you won’t have to wait till December. They are aiming for a release on the 26 of Oct and will be build stock from late Sept (job1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they be standard and then new ones as a extra option?Any news on if they will have Dynamic stability control on the F6?and a no cost AUto option?

Your dealership will have information on these cars and I assume they only have the stuff that isn't embargoed.Although the cars are referred to as having Boss 290 and F6 270 engine options I guess power levels could be altered for surprise factor on release, but for these new products if you think Senator competitor then you wont be disappointed with what they come up with. If you want a F6 with more luxury 45 to 50 years old then the Force six is probably for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
