G'day, My previous car was a BF2 XR6T with BMC Air Filter, F6 CAI and 10PSI tune. It pulled 256rwkw and was equipped with a 6spd ZF Auto. I'm currently driving a 6spd manual FG XR6T and while it is heaps more fun, the BF hoses all over it in a straight line. I'm at least half a second behind. Probably needs a driver mod though. On the track, I have lapped quicker in the FG around Barbagallo raceway than the modified BF. Manual vs Manual, my money is on the FG winning more consistently, but it would be pretty even. Put your car up against a ZF6 equipped FG XR6T, and my money is on the FG all night long. There is plenty of evidence of mid 12 second stock standard FG XR6T's (with the ZF6); put your gonads on the line (literally) and see if you can beat mid 12's. If you cant, you have your answer.
