Member 438 Member For: 21y 1m 23d Location: Victoria Posted 01/03/04 06:06 AM Share Posted 01/03/04 06:06 AM Visited the Motor Show on Sunday and rushed straight to the F6 where I stood and drooled for a good half hour. That is a fantastic looking car! Not too fussed with the grille initially but it's grown on me. I loved it.I also have to say that after seeing a lot of shows over the years I have never seen so much interest in the FoMoCo product before. The punters couldn't get enough! You couldn't get near the GT's and XR's for the crowds. (It was great fun to listen to the comments coming from those checking out the Turbo and knowing I had one waiting for me in the carpark. I've never owned a car that's been on display at the show before!):banghead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loop Member 49 Member For: 21y 2m 26d Location: North Central Victoria Posted 01/03/04 06:33 AM Share Posted 01/03/04 06:33 AM Im glad I ordered a Lightning Strike XR6T, they look awsome. I think the Typhoon has too much "wank " factor for me. The bodykit, wheels and interior is too ricey. I am astounded there is no premium ICC for the F6.I think the push button starter is also a bit too much of a gimick.The intercooler also looks stock, did anyone notice if it looked bigger, I can see it is silver, but that would make the cooling less efficient than black, but it again looks more ricey. The stylist for the F6 must have owned a Jap import skyline and liked all the bling bling they have in japan. About the only things the F6 has that I would want are the Brembo brakes and a 6 speeder if the rumors are true...which I doubt. I bet they use the XR8 manual in the F6...I cannot see them putting in a ZF 6 speeder....$$$$$The intercooler is about 3 times the size of the stock one. Looks a bit more like what is needed to get consistent performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
