But it doesn't.BUT it looks to me like that force6 does have the premiums optioned? The F6 does not.If the Force6 had the red interior, that'd do it for me. I'd have it over the F6. (Yes, I'd pay a the little extra for the rarity.)But I'd have to put my M3 mirrors on it. Those chrome jobs are atrocious. Gawd I hate chrome.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 9m 28d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 02/01/07 11:30 PM Share Posted 02/01/07 11:30 PM I was having a close look at the dealers at a Force6 and I could not see the value at all. I think FPV have made a huge mistage with the pricing of these cars as they only come with Leather as an extra over the Typhoon, aside from minor cosmetic things, yet they want over $6k more.The Force 6/8 should be TOP OF THE LINE and have the 6/4 Brembos standard and Satnav as a minimum.If you want one, buy a F6, remove the wing and put red leather and save yourself $4k.I know my dealer has had their Force6 sitting in their yard for over 3 months with little interest.If you want one, just wait another 3 months and I bet they are the same or a lower price than the F6.
