XR6 Turbo or FPV Tornado

[deanogw]

hey guys

new to forum and just wanting to get peoples opinions on xr6 t vs fpv tornado.

next year I will be looking for a new work vehicle/ toy, and have decided to bite the bullet and go aussie. originally I was looking at xr8/super pursuit however as I actually live in england and not australia insurance is murderous on a v8 at my age (23). so after doing abit of reading and talking to friends im very much considering a barra turbo. seems they make great power and can be reliable. my question is whether to go with a BA/BF xr6t or a similar year F6 Tornado, my biggest thing is that it is manual. I do really like the look of the F6 but is it worth the extra money or should I just modify a xr6t and do a body kit. im not looking to make killer power numbers as it need to be driveable looking around 300rwkw/400rwhp mark as id like to try make it handle to some extent.

any and all opions will be much appreciated

BF mk2 or newer model mate,

Any older will cost more to tune as there not as good a engine.

Also if you have the coin? Go the fpv. Looks better and nicer inside.

Have you thought about an FG? Much better car... although I like the look of the ba/bf more.

[deanogw]

Thanks mate. Yes I have read about the ba's and it will most likely be a bf mkll I did think about the fg but for the price of a fg xr6t I can get a bf tornado. Though it is still an option as I won't be buying for a few months

I might be biased but tornado all the way. Bf over a Ba if your wallet is big enough. You get brembos standard instead of optional and dual zone air con

Dual zone ac was still an option on bf 1&2 tornadoes, so your not guaranteed it by just buying a BF. 

[deanogw]

Thanks guys. Yeah dual zone climate control isn't a huge deal to me how very interior would be though saying that I'm likely to get it redone anyway. Main deal is really the performance side of it all and how it looks from the exterior

Exterior styling, b-series FPV is the best Falcon by far.

^^^What he said^^^ BF Typhoon definitely one of the best  looking overall Ford Falcons by far. But I'm very bias. And the Tornado's do make a pretty nice looking work ute. 

[deanogw]

Exactly and in a country where we don't exactly have them it's really gonna pop. How do they handle? As I will take it to places like worthersee and other parts of Europe and roads can be winding

im all for supporting Aussie cars overseas but id be all over a BMW or Audi like white on rice in Europe

 

But to add to the topic, BF F6. they do look mint. all depends on your cash, both for the car and handling mods.
