Was at the drags last night at Kwinana and a guy who had a Typhoon was having a chat to me and it was his first time there. He had an unmodified BF 6 speed auto Typhoon. He was curious when was our line going to start moving.
Anyway we had our turn and then lined up again and he got a 13.6 for his first run in an unmodified F6 which I thought was rather good. He then said something that made me laugh out loud literally not LOL. "I hope my boss isn't here cause this is my company car" So it is true that cars you don't own really do go quicker.

yep, used my xr6t to tow the 67 xr to Heathcote, then let my young bloke have his first taste of drag racing. Got through 5 rounds of DYO. Ran 14.1 in standard xrt 6 speed auto. Company cars go OK

That would be fun to have a F6 company car. Must work hard to have that company car.

I'm sure that company cars are built on a different line at Ford because they seem to be alot stronger.. our company phoon (manual) ran a 13.3 at the drags last year. Our company VZ Clubby (297kw) also seems to be quicker than most.
Lets not even mention the fact that they are much more rust resistant (handy when launching a boat), and have heavy duty suspension for carrying a pallet of bricks lol  :

If you want a company car to take to the drags and it dosnt matter if you get fired for it, I recomend dominos. bet they dont have typhoons though, or something that will pull a 20.
