Yes I agree with your comment regarding traction and the need for wider tyres. 245′s just arn’t enough. Traction is already a problem with my BF11 Typhoon with 270KW but the extra 40KW kick of the flasher and newer puppy causes extra problems, especially once you hit 5,000 r.p.m. where it breaks traction even on dry smooth roads in a stright line.

The other day I saw a brand new Lamborgini and noted it was shod with 335 tyres, which were absolutly huge.

BTW I’m in absolute agreement about the performance of the new F6 which is absolutly sensational and IMO, quite frankly the most fun you can possibly have with your trousers still on…

I’ve driven the F6 and am absolutely in awe of the car’s performance. However, the in your face looks doesn’t suit my executive job and is what has stopped me from buying one. The F6e is the ideal solution and will be definately on my shopping list later this year.

But FPV, PLEASE give the car some unique wheels and wider rear rubber. 245′s don’t cut it – especially with this engine. Traction is a major problem. Also, the $78K price poingt may need to be revised, with HSV Senators going 10 grand cheaper now.

fpv manufacter or sorse all the components that go in the engines from australia.

hsv have expertise but they just buy there engine as a crate engine.

I still don’t agree…FPV does NOT do their own engineering work, FPV is merely an arm of Ford. The engineering expertise on the heads and all the other components added to the FPV V8 powered vehicles would be done under the parent company, who already have the skill and knowledge from their engineers. It’s not as if Ford will say “hey FPV, here’s a new car….make a motor for it and badge it as your own”. The FPV branded parts are engineered by Ford engineers working for the FPV arm, sold through FPV at a premium.

My argument was merely to point out you saying that HSV have no engineering expertise and FPV does. Both companies work in the same way, under the parent company.
