Ford F6 Typhoon

I doubt we'll see one on our shores but still...

Re: Ford F6 Typhoon

Cool, I kinda get a more aggressive Monaro feel from it

Re: Ford F6 Typhoon

F6 is actually a pretty good drive. I've been fortunate enough to sit in the passenger's seat while a mate was test driving one... he later bought it. The car is more a great cruiser than a thrilling ride. It's more refinded than its main rival(s).

As impressive as it is, F6 still lacks the excitement factor of say the LS2 powered HSVs. Ford/FPV have been playing catch up to Holden/HSV for years. Me, I love my V8s.

Re: Ford F6 Typhoon

It makes you wonder if ford had brought over a car like that to replace the crown victoria years ago. Cause FPV has had that chassis for a while now, and its honestly a no brainer between that and a crown vic.

In that color it reminds me of the cab from that dumb Queen Latifa / Jimmy Fallon movie.

I posted last summer about some of the awesome cars Ford is putting out in Oz... I just don't get it. I guess the good news is that at least the Dearborn conservatives haven't neutered the Aussie branch (yet) .

Re: Ford F6 Typhoon

That car averages 13 miles/gallon... according to my mate.

My cammed LS1 averages 18 miles/gallon.

Performance cars right?... so who cares about fuel consumption? Thank God GM do!
