Default 1st Stock F6 Runs a 12

After 3 meetings and a bit of persistence Mores run a 12.94@108 mph, 2.01 - 60 foot.
Congratulations your Rapid Auto rocket is a screamer, know it must be time for some mods.

The weather at Heathcote was cool, there a many guy's with good numbers, from the red and blue side.
PS: He must be happy he switched from the red camp over to the blue.

Yep, absolute proof. FPV F6 Typhoon is the fastest ever Australian built production sedan.

Great run!

Depends on who classes a BMC filter change as stock or a mod. Most cars tend to have an after market filter in them these days

While it is better than a standard filter I'de say it'd do stuff all generally, probably combine better with further intake & exhaust mods after they were done

Not sure on the tyres

Just to clarify any performance mod done to a car for better performance is a modified car full stop.

So as it would read it's a slightly modded car run a 12 which is great news, As I was getting board in the 12sec sedan club. :1syellow1 well done/.

Mate a BMC air filter would be lucky (being generous) worth .5 tenth max if that, if thats all its stock.

And by the way Cam and Ratter are doing you wont be bored for to long mate.

Air filters don't do anything but filter air... I wouldn't go calling one a performance enhancing modification. Longevity enhancing... sure.

My ute is raced on M/T Street Radials, i have used them on the street, but they wear out pretty quickly. Technically they are street tyres.

Standard tyres, 4.11 gears and a 3500 converter make it pretty hard to take off hard on the street, and i leave that sort of racing for knobs who dont value their licence, other road users lives or their own.

I will put some decent street rubber on and give you a run at Calder one Friday night, wanna be in it ???

MT ET street radials are NOT street tyres. Ring vic roads and they will tell you a defect notice will come your way if caught using them.
