Re: Thphoon Vs GT In The Real World

oK i was just testen u guys to see if u cared

Firstly... Overall Impression.. Every Fkn pic of the Typhoon ive seen hasnt done the car justice... Even the rims grew on me... Second impression.....Didnt lke the stocky style seats.

Now the fun part..... The drive!..... Well ... take away the the split second lag you get( only apparant in First gear) and its MAGIC!. Pulls like a class room full of teenage boys watching a porno!!! It isnt a kick in the chest like a powerful V8. Its a constant kick.. If that makes sence.... Overall Im very impressed. I loved it. BUT! i wouldnt sell the GTP 4 one.... I would however if i had the money gladly own BOTH! (not that that will ever happen).

Gear box.. well..... Compared to the Holden conterpart.. Its a different box .. Its SO MUCH better.... CEPT 4 ONE THING!... Have you guys ever driven the ol holden 6 speed and reversed and then gone to go for first??? And it wouldnt go in???? Had to lift of the clutch and have another go???? The Phoon suffered that one twice. Thats about the only gripe i have. The seats, the reminder of the facts its the same box as the holden with the first gear thing, OHHH and i think its criminal that they didnt put BREMBOS on it as standard fitment!.

But they are my ownly gripes, Good points, SMOOTH, TORQUE!!!!!!!!!!!...... Lighter front end , Did i mention TORQUE!!!!?????

I think anyone whos driven a standard GT and the Phoon would know the phoon would BLO it away....

is that all u wanted to know???

hehehehh Good report GTP. Been a bit of blab around the traps but mostly from people who have never driven the GT or the Typhoon. So any reports from a GT driver are credible.
With some work it be more than a weapon tha is its off the shelve
Thanks

I can't believe you had the GT and phoon together and didn't race door handle to door handle. That's how we'll really know.

Now get back out there.

Re: Thphoon Vs GT In The Real World

Great reports fellas from the people that have, and do own both.
Be interested to see if it loosens up after a few k's under the belt, cant wait for some proper 1/4 times out of one of these things.

Re: Thphoon Vs GT In The Real World

Congrats on the buy Doc, Sounds like an awesome package, So since a few have now driven the beast any predictions on 0-100 and 1/4 times?
Would be good to get a few BA's down on a Wed Night, I am sure whispers of an F6 going down would stir a decent crowd :))
