Yes the F6 is a force to reckon with, it's a shame Ford have made a product that will enventually kill the nameplate "GT" as the performance vehicle from Ford.

That is huge....only a filter change worth a couple of kw's and runs in the 12.8's

I reckon the blokes at FPV must have really taken there time on this car and made an example of it, it's got a lot of power straight out of the box. That and the steerer has worked out the tricks with it too

Just got back from there myself (i leave when the burnout comp starts) the racetrack was in killer nick tonight. Well done to everyone who ran PB's.

I was doing some R & D in the ute with a new generation Tex clutch and it felt real good. I only ran 13.20's but was happy with that.

Lots of cars there tonight, probably the most ever for a friday night street meet.

GT club are running from the infield.
The BF F6 in mind ran a best time of 13.321@106.86.This car is completely stock no mods at all.Other times on the night were 13.487 and a 13.400@107.19.I came home with a 12.00 in full street trim drive there and home and the best thing is there is more in it @ the 60 foot mark.Quite happy for a home build engine on pump fuel.MPH was 112.26 with a 1.771 60 foot.My special redwalled tyres are becoming a little problem with lack of traction too. :
