Looks like you were wrong about the F6 310 Duck, but so were wheels when they said Gt will be 320kw.

If the XR8 is coming out 290kw wouldn’t the GT come out 320KW to maintain the 30kw difference between the XR and GT power range ?

Also wouldn’t the F6TYPHOON come out with 305KW to also maintain its 30KW advantage over the XR6T ?

Just my thoughts

Has anyone noticed in the picture of the GT’s rear wheel in the 4th pic in the gallery and the 10th picture in the gallery of the F6′s rear wheel the GT has Brembos while the F6 doesn’t?

Typhoon should be pumpin out 580nm of torque which is not that far behind the 427. New GTHO wont have a problem in going way beyond wat the 427 does. GTHO wins again here ladies.

I or at least my company have had 1 BA GT, 2 BA Typhoons 013 and 333 and now have 2 BF R Spec Typhoons 279 and 284. Looking at these pictures they will be the last ones we buy. The real Ford Falcon is dead, long live the real Ford Falcon

I’ll get Back to the exhaust I was on about a while ago….
It’s good to hear FPV are going to have some kind of valve that opens for a note at hight acceleration but it also needs a throaty throb at an idle and low acceleration(2000rpm) too. So It needs a good idle sound. And I do hope it does have a good throb sound at low revs along with a HUGE RAW when you put your foot down.

I feel a little extra exited after that!

I spoke in great depth with the FPV boys at the motorshow.

1) The side indicators will be removed to make way for FPV badging. Aparently this was not ready in time before the motorshow.

2) The gauges are now located on the dashboard (boost, etc)

3) GT is supposed to have a throatier note with the new exhaust which has a valve that opens and shuts depending on the acceleration of the car.

4) Last of all and please don’t quote me, but I got the impression that the GT has twin throttle bodies

The only problem I have now is which one I am going to buy, the GT or the F6! The FPV rep stated that I would be suprised with the output of the F6, both KW’s and NM!

Andrew,
We have same thinking..
I also thought(hoping) that FPV would have looked at a final limited run of Supercharged BF’s that could have been a Phase 5 GTHO.. Why not. Even if they lost money on each car, the boost in brand image would be imeasurable
