Default Confused FPV Owner?

Is it a Force?

Is it a Force 6?

Is it a Force 8?

Is it a F6?

Or a GT?

The only diffeence I see is it has the bob tail and quad tips? I'm not sure what the fuss is about.

Never said there was anything "wrong" with it. Although the quads make no sense to me.

Yeah its awesome, although I dont quite understand the point of dual exhausts on an I6.

I dont think they look good at all, not on that car, it would be better without tips and dump the exhaust after the diff so you can see the tips. Seems fussy at the back.

No, what would look real tough is 4 x 5" cannons coming out of the back

Nothing confusing about it realy,just a bloke with good taste.

1) Removed the over sized spoiler.

2) Put a very nice spoiler on.

3) Put fairmont boot garnish on,very good taste.

4) Fantastic quad set up.

Im not confused and neither is he by the looks of things.

Not a fan of the mesh over the quads. Get them taken out, have the quads sit up higher and it would look ace in the rear. Strange for an I6, sure... but they still look good.

Digging the rest of the cars look though.

Theres more than that. Rims are off a GT or a Force, chrome mirrors, colour coded bar inserts, and Force chrome foglight surrounds.
But it's definitely an F6, those parts would be easy to add on and make it look classy, whereas if it was an Force 6 changing the mesh, badging, putting a different bootlip on, then downgrading from the full Ghia number plate garnish would totally and utterly pointless.

yeah i noticed them just a minute ago as well.
If you de badged it, you would think it was a Force 6, but I still don't see the big deal about it? If i had an F6 sedan, it would be exactly like the one pictured without a doubt, it looks very classy indeed!

Wasn't there a header system that allowed an I6 to have a twin exhaust system? i remember reading about it on the forum somewhere actually, maybe this bloke has this system on? Damn sexy car too, but maybe some different style wheels to set it apart a bit more.

Car looks ace.
Wouldn't mind driving that at all.
The DJR spoiler is defs a nice point on the car.
Also the quad tip exhaust gives it a more street tough look.
Was thinking of getting an exhaust system like that for my XR6T.

Obviously not a GT or Force 8, no bulge, and you can see the cooler in the second pic. Looks good with the quad tips
