FUTURA4L Member 21 Member For: 19y 2m 3d Posted 08/11/10 12:31 AM Share Posted 08/11/10 12:31 AM Glad you mentioned the Motor magazines comparisons, The latest December Motor magazine issue, FPV GT335 run 13.24@182.25km/h vs HSV GTS 13.76@169.27km/h same day, same conditions! so technically as you put it, Typhoon is slower.Well I have driven both Cars so yeah that kind of entitles me to make a comparison I would assume. my Bf managed to run 13.0 flat by the way and wheels, Motor and Top gear only managed mid 13s so technically my Typhoon is quicker.

Born and Bred in the RSA Posted 08/11/10 01:18 AM Share Posted 08/11/10 01:18 AM The power delivery is diffrent.The 335 is quick. I suggest you take out a FG F6 and a FG GT on the same day and do a comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is even more dangerous because u need to go faster to get any form of thrill and at the end of day we buy these cars to have fun in and there is no fun in going to jail for doing 200 kph on your new gt because it didnt feel fast. We don't live in Germany. And last time I checked this forum was called xr6 turbo not v8 central Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get itEnd of the day, all the new fpvs are quick cars, it's a matter of preference, If your worrying about petrol and insurance, don't blow 60-70+ grand on a performance car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
