Maybe, but I think Ford clearly has a consistency problem with their cars. Ther seems to be some considerable variation in rear-wheel power figures at least between individual cars. Maybe this was a slow 'Phoon that was tested.

Re: Need ideas on convincing Dad to buy an F6 :D

I reckon that the motor magazine guys are MARK OASTLERS best mates. I stopped reading street machine because of his one eyed opinions. The guy is a tosser. Lets hope that this f6 can go better than that, because you can be dam sure the hsv will.

Yeah Probably Now Because We Are Winning At The Track, But I Read Every Issue Of Street Machine Since I Was 12 And When He Came Along I Just Couldn't Stomach It Anymore Even Stopped Watching V8's Because The Sound Of His Voice Drove Me Nuts.

Re: Need ideas on convincing Dad to buy an F6 :D

They spend virtually the whole edition bagging every aspect of the Typhoon even comparing its intercooler to the EVO and calling the Ford one a second hand cut down truck part or something. Fact is the EVO has to have a bigger intercooler because it runs much higher boost (thus more heat) whereas at the low boost pressures of the Ford, a massive intercooler would just cause more lag.

Re: Need ideas on convincing Dad to buy an F6 :D

Yeah I think there is very little question of the fact that Motor has decided to chuck a tantrum over the flat-shifting debarcle, but I feel the Typhoon may also not be everything it is supposed to be. Wingeing, lying, journos or dud performance car? I think the truth lies somewhere between.
