theblackpig Member 31 Member For: 18y 5m 12d Gender: Not Telling Location: the table near the window Posted 22/03/07 10:23 AM Share Posted 22/03/07 10:23 AM why are people so against the force range? yes I know its overpriced compared to the phoon. Really it just an overpriced phoon ←You just hit the nail on the head.There a BLATANT rip off. Mind you if the pricing was structured the same as the Force8's it wouldnt be such an issue with me anyway....←I have a Typhoon, my business partner has a Force 6. (both in Ego) and I've spent plenty of time with both cars, to study the differences. His cost more than mine but he got a lot more features and comforts and luxuries. So, what's the point of claiming the Force 6 is a rip off when you haven't even bothered to cost up the extras. In fact most of you can't even list all the extras.The only result is you end up discouraging casual observers of these forums from buying the Force 6, which just damages FPVs bottom line. And that doesn't do any of us any good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact most of you can't even list all the extras.←So why is there a $10,000 difference between a Typhoon and a Force6 and only $250 difference between a GT and a Force8.... Yes your right it would be hard to list ALL the extras..... http://www.fpv.com.au/media/32719/fpv%20fo...cifications.pdfhttp://www.fpv.com.au/media/19390/fpv%20f6...cifications.pdfThere aint that many 'extras' to add up to $9,750.00.... I'm not knocking the car itself it's a bloody grouse product, all I'm saying is that FPV have the pricing up the yingyang.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has few extras and externally looks like any other FPV without a wing.They should have used a completely different body kit and wheels as well as option it up with DVD and Sat Nav, etc. Last time I looked, there's more to a Senator than a Clubsport with no wing.

I like the look but they wanted too much for them $10k over a phoon is a joke, Most dealers I spoke to about them seemed to be having trouble moving them. There were demo's everywhere, all in Ego!
