The FG before you in these pictures is one of the new breed of street machines. With modern technology the days of 1000+hp being restricted to blown, alcohol swigging big block V8’s is over. Late model forced induction street cars, just like our previously featured 800+rwhp VE cover car, with all the factory mod cons and the luxury of a stocker have enough power to change the direction of the earth’s rotation under the right foot.
When you think of tough Queensland street cars the likes of Johnny Wilson’s HK Monaro, or Damien Mckern’s Series 1 Rx7 probably come to mind; cars with balls and more poke than you can get to the ground. Another on my list of Queensland tuffies is this yellow F6 Typhoon commonly known as ‘CHOP YA’, not just for its name, but also its reputation. Photoshoot by Dave Reid www.dragphotos.com.au
