But as I've said, there are people that want to buy the best and not have to touch it - hence the F6X!I can appreciate your opinion dags, and I agree with you to a certain extent, but when you look at the bigger manufacturer picture, you begin to understand the politics behind a particular model. Oh man I've had a few drinks..And in regards to pro-drive and what they develop, that all comes down to how much Ford/FPV are willing to pay them, development takes time, new technology takes time, and as we all know time equals money!

Buf-Phoon loitering with intent Lifetime Members 13,318 Member For: 21y 3m 8d Gender: Male Location: Zombie Birdhouse Posted 09/04/08 12:28 PM Share Posted 09/04/08 12:28 PM Is this really any different from the old Phoon V Xr6t arguments?? ( of which I was staunchly in the T corner )The reality is the FPV is a better car all round than the stock base equivalent, that is not in dispute.Why then do we have so many Phoon owners on here ? Just another bunch of overpaid elitists ( STFU Trent) or are we just fulfilling a niche in the market that our friends at FPV have provided to satisy OUR needs, not those of the great unwashed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulie0735 Member 68 Member For: 17y 7m 17d Gender: Male Location: Melb Posted 06/06/08 08:08 AM Share Posted 06/06/08 08:08 AM I would consider myself right smack in the middle of the target market for an FX6, they were not around when I bought the TTG so never had to actually choose but I drove one about 4 weeks ago and must say they do drive nice. It’s no F6 but it does not try to be, it offers ML AMG 55 performance in a package that about 1/3 the price and about 1/10 the cost to maintain. The wheels are hideous but that’s just a personal view not a fact!The interior is not my taste either but I (think) could live with itSuspension is a big step in the right directionBrakes are nice but to be honest the standard TT brakes are more than good enoughValue for money they are a touch on the expensive side but they are not aimed at TX buyersWhen you round it all up, you can not purchase a vehicle in this country that can match it for practically, performance, value (cost to buy and cost to maintain) quite simply there is nothing around that’s even close this side of double the money!As for the TTG with an edit and a few tricks ……… well that’s me! Yes mine is significantly faster but I don’t have a power train warranty. The fact is that FPV have done it, and they are selling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
