    Xr6t Questions

    Ah, a question I know the answer too. Yes, it does. 4 splits, two A-frame tweeters and a subwoofer make 11 speakers. The DSP is built into the ICC and the subwoofer is driven off a 150W amp. I will be taking pictures of the Premium Sound ICC as soon as I get my car, as I've ordered the DVD Satellite Navigation option as well.
  2. Mine is an interesting story, as I'm not quite a "Falcon" kind of guy, usually: I currently own an Explorer LTD and had to get a few bumps and scrapes repaired (yeah, I do actually take it off-road). When I got it back from the crash repairers, they'd done such a good job, I figured it was the best time to check out my trade-in options. Anyway, did a little shopping around and discovered the Peugeot 206cc coupe convertible. Gorgeous little beast. Hardtop convertible like the Merc SLK, though much better priced. Went through all the motions of test-driving and whatnot, until I took my partner to look at it too. He loved it, problem was: He couldn't fit in it. He's 6'5" and the Peugeot is just too small. He kept hitting his head on the roof! Right. Scratch that option. Grrrr. Anyway, that's Saturday and Monday I decide to go look at more "normal" cars -- Volvo S40, BMW 328i, that kind of thing. I was looking for an upmarket ride, comfortable but fun to drive. My partner had seen an XR6 in a magazine somewhere and kept pestering me to go look at it, but I didn't until I'd gone through all the German options first. However, I walked onto my local Ford dealer's floor, took one look at the XR6 and said, "Man, I could drive that, no problem." -- Two hours later, my XR6 was ordered. My partner STILL can't believe I actually bought a Falcon and neither can I. But, its possibly one of the most comfortable cars I've driven that still packs a punch when I want it too. It has definitely inherited a lot of European styling but retains an Aussie flavour. And, after 4 years of Explorer Goodness, I'm quite glad to be sticking with the Blue Oval for at least another 3 years. Who knew when I moved to Australia I'd become a Ford Man?
  3. Yeah, my car is coming early too. Its been built and is being shipped up to Canberra this week. There's a slim chance I may even get the car this weekend, but I'm not holding my breath!
  4. Brembos are an option: Just order Premium Brakes.
  5. Any idea how he managed to do it?
  6. Well, then. I definitely live in the wrong state for personalised plates. Those plates in ACT would've cost over $3,000!
  7. I'd hate to think how much you paid for those, exr6! At least I got mine added to the cost of the car and paid for by the leasing company.

    Datadot

    How exactly does the Datadot prevent car theft or damage? I can understand how it would improve discovery and recovery of stolen items, but not actual prevention.
  9. WTG, Goose. I'm having an interesting time getting the HR Department of my company to sign off on the novated lease authorisations. Its supposed to be done this afternoon (after 3 weeks of bitching), so I'll have a few days before the car arrives next week to get things sorted.
  10. Good idea, UNB. Hadn't thought of that.
  11. Here's one with the Turbo added. Please let me know which logo you want when you PM me! And don't forget to tell me what network you're on, otherwise the logo may not work properly.
  12. There's not enough space! That XR6 logo pretty much consumes the entire space available for a standard network logo.
  13. Whoops. Forgot to attach the image!
  14. The XR6 has a slightly different exhaust to the XT (flattened at the back), though it probably sounds the same due to the same engine being in both cars.
  15. Or, white on black:
  16. I've been tinkering with my Nokia Logo Manager and came up with the following image. If you have a Nokia handset, PM me with your mobile number and I'll SMS the image to you. Please let me know which network (MobileNet/Optus/Vodafone) you're on, 'cos I have to send the correct network image.
  17. It is the audio compression and it doesn't increase/decrese volume, it modifies the compression of the sound itself. I've found that it doesn't tend to work that well on my older Explorer unit, so I have it turned off.
  18. Well, thanks to Davo, I know that my Silhouette XR6 is complete and awaiting delivery to my dealer as we speak! I could be in the car mid-next week!
  19. Grant, power adjustable pedals are not available on the manual because of the clutch system. They're only available on auto.

    Heheh. I can vouch for their IT department and their amazing customer service.
  21. Makes me a little sad to be Jewish.

    Interior

    Well, I wanted the XR6 logo inside, so I went with Plexis Grey. I actually don't like leather in a car, for all the sweaty slip'n'slide reasons.
  23. Mmm. Meanwhile, went to go see the Silhouette XR6 Turbo that arrived at my dealer yesterday. It looks awesome! Can't wait to get mine with the tinted windows! ** Does the Dance of Joy **

    Ah, my mistake. I overlooked the "leather" bit.

    I'm switching to Prosperion for the XR6: The fully managed lease is great. I don't even have to worry about making payments, as its all automatic. Don't have to worry about fuel, servicing, tyres, insurance -- its all taken care of. They're even paying for the custom plates!
