I wish they didn't have burnout comps at calder on friday nights. It cuts into the racing program too much.

A few of us from the Turbo forum are heading out next week

JG3282 · 17-02-2006, 04:35 PM

C Ya there young fella... make sure Dad coimes over for a quick hello, I gotta shoot by 7.00 sharp

347_XR8 · 17-02-2006, 09:23 PM

I went past at bout 7:30, wanted to go. But was to buggered from work, just wanted to get home

rodderz · 17-02-2006, 11:25 PM

I believe the BF typhoons are getting quick

Apparently there was one out there tonight with only a filter ran 13.18@109

Very quick for virtually stock and huge mph for it's claimed power

X ORSMXR · 18-02-2006, 12:45 AM

Can't see it being stock cause with that mph would have to have at least 240rwkw

thats what I thought, I would be surprised if the new BF Typhoons are actually at the rated kw power from the factory

Sure the 6 speed helps but 109mph shows it has a heap of grunt

We have seen it many times, RWKW doesn't always equate to the ET....

SpoolMan · 18-02-2006, 12:48 AM

Rodderz you want to see quick, HPF are expecting a good showing next week I heard there Twin Turbo BA GT will make its debut at Calder....
might be a nice Quick FPV weekend coming up..

X ORSMXR · 18-02-2006, 12:53 AM

Well mark as my car runs a consistant 108 l know my power and also we do know what these auto BF TYPHOONS do stock it just seems to me there is a little more than just a filter

CSV_LS1 · 18-02-2006, 01:04 AM

I know the owner of the car and it is stock.

One thing the F6 is lighter than us boss boys so they show similar mph with less power, weight always a big factor into mph. Seen this example over and over with the lighter LS1's. But yeh is a very very impressive time/mph for just filter change.

I think if u put an auto in your car it would be faster

: and quicker too. :hihi:

SpoolMan · 18-02-2006, 01:07 AM

He wouldn't be the 1st BF F6 that some thought wasn't stock....there will be others, as the weather gets cooler and they start rolling out of the show rooms and on to the track.

Gunns · 18-02-2006, 01:46 AM

some more pics from tonights action.

SpoolMan · 18-02-2006, 01:51 AM

Gunns · 18-02-2006, 01:53 AM

YOu didnt hapen to get any pics of the green RX-3 did you?

JG3282 · 18-02-2006, 04:16 PM

What surprises me is that the yellow one went 13.1/109 with 233 kw yet the red one did 13.7/106.7 with 260 rwkw... Maybe its a case of what often happens in Professional classes where the guy with less power runs the bigger number due to not overpowering the track

A comparison... what did the Big Fella's rapid F6 run stock and I mean dead stock!?

So what you are saying is that it is absolutely no point taking the car to a track where it doesn't stop spinning the tyres until 1000 ft... OR drop about 35 rw KW's from it and go quicker... Seriously how does a car run 105.9 mph on a 14.7????? And that was with it left in "D," it ran 13.7/106.7 in manual mode

According to the HP calculator located here it requires 389 hp (290 kw) at the wheels to run 106.7 and 414 (308 kw) to run 109 mph... So was it track, or air, or driver, or a combination of all three?

I've had a few PM's telling me the yellow one had a flash... I couldn't care less but I do have a question... Is there a way of detecting a flash tune in a car?

there would be alot of black fuel smoke coming out of a stock ford tuned car? a aftermarket tuned car will be closer to spot on 12.5:1 rather than fords 10:1 usual a/f ratio.

Didn't you run the typhoon stock before the mods? Maybe you should put it back to stock and you will find it wasn't a fluke or a flash :ticking:
