Buf-Phoon loitering with intent Lifetime Members 13,318 Member For: 21y 7m 28d Gender: Male Location: Zombie Birdhouse Posted 04/04/09 11:31 AM Share Posted 04/04/09 11:31 AM my BA Phoon was far better than my T and the BF phoon better again. I wouldn't compare one to the other from my experience at least.If you just want to mod the sh*t out of something , buy a BA and spend $25k on it.Following your logic Doc why 4 Phoons and you still haven't learnt ??

Do what you think is right. Both options have advantages and dis advantages.If your going to go sick with mods, I'd go with the T.

Brakes,body kit, interior and on a good one a few more kws. Oh and the posh little fpv featues such as the push button start lol. The FG on the other hand feels alot better on the road cos of the new front end set up and the way the body is now made,so its no illusion,it actually is alot better car.So much tighter and more rigid.

Turbo mods here we come.As for the seats making a difference, have you actually driven any of these cars.Soumds pretty subjective to me.You got bucks in your pocket , get what you wan't. None of your choices are bad ones.Just Ts are as common as muck now, how long do you wan't to keep it ?If your hanging on to it for a long time , just flip a coin and be done with it.This forum has had this circular argument time and time again.I was embroiled in the initialT V Phoon debate on the side of the T yet I have still bought 2 Phoons and would never consider a T again.There ya go.........a simple answer ?

I've had the BA XR6T before the 'phoon and I must say they are worlds apart in the way they drive. It may my psychological but the 'phoon just feels better in the way it drives, steers, handles and looks. As has already been said XR6T's are dime a dozen and you'll never get any value back for the money you spend but a 'phoon will always be a limited edition car and therefore worth more in the long run. I'm selling mine to upgrade to the FG and I've driven both the F6 and XR6T they are just not in the same league when compared. So my advice is do your self a favour and test drive both and draw your own conclusions I'm sure you'll see what I mean.Big AL Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/56386-to-phoon-or-not-typhoon/page/2/#findComment-855370 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I drive my brothers typhoon compared to my T it just feels that little bit nicer to drive.

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 17y 2m 16d Posted 04/04/09 11:29 PM Share Posted 04/04/09 11:29 PM (edited) Hey BUF-PHOON,yes I have driven them and I drive them everyday lol. I work for Ford. I am not trying to say the xr6t is better than the phoon just that if your choosing between the 2 to do heaps of mods on to buy a xr6t,my opinion. We all know that once a car has been modded it has been worked damn hard so not many want to buy,they would rather buy a virgin car that hasnt been f*cked yet lol. Once a phoon has been modded it defeats the purpose of having a one off build in alot of buyers minds as its been modded just like all the xr6ts and they see it as been thrashed. These are my opinions going off what customers say and want at work and unless you can afford a typhoon and spend a further 10-15g on mods,buy an xr6t. I must say again thou that the seats and steering wheel do make them feel alot better,that's why they have them.
