Ignoring the badge, you'd get more stuff in the BF Typhoon, but you can get FG XR6 Turbo's with similar stuff.
As a base car, the B series and FG are like night and day, I know what I would pick and it wouldn't be the B series. The FG is a brilliant car.

The F6 will have the wow factor of being an FPV, but the FG is a newer shape and a much better car overall.
I'd personally go the FG. |

If you want long term value retainment go with the F6, but if you want newness the FG

also consider insurance - i'm guessing anything with an FPV badge will cost more/be harder to insure. and think about suspect people that would like to steal your pride and joy, i'm guessing they will look more closely at an FPV as well.

I was at an auction on Tuesday and saw a BF2 Typhoon with 60K on the clock and no rego being sold at $24K.
Fords don't tend to hold their values well at all. Bang for buck you can't go past the FG, and performance wise it will vomit in the F6's face.
