  1. Yeah that's the plan, although I'm quite happy to put down a deposit on a car if I really like it.
  2. Were these sedans or utes guys?
  3. Heh. Yeah and Melbourne is a bit far to go for me.
  4. What was yours Kyle, 2nd hand or demo?
  5. How many KM's on it? I'd nearly take that.
  6. G'day bomber, I was looking at an XR6T 50th just before, what do you reckon of this? http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/bncis/details.aspx?Cr=1&R=9541420&keywords=&trecs=9&__sid=12D66E127C91&__Ns=pCar_PriceSort_Decimal|0||pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&__Qpb=true&__Nne=15&SearchAction=N&seot=1&__N=1216%201246%204294966285%204294966463%204294727157%201247%201252%201282%201621&silo=1011 I could stretch it to 45k, but then I'm in 2nd hand F6 territory.
  7. I'm just in the process of selling my Clubsport R8 and buying a 2010 plated XR6T. Have about $40k to spend. It needs to have the colour ICC and reverse camera, not concerned on colour really, maybe not red duco. I'd like to get a decent price driveaway but I'm not very good at negotiation with car salesmen, they seem to see right through me. What should I expect to pay for a 2010 demo, with less than 1000km? They're about $39k on carsales, is that rock bottom or will a dealer go lower? Thanks guys Oh and stop with the Expensive Daewoo hate, they arent so bad.
  8. Dark Sider here. Selling my HSV in May and getting a turbo G6 or XR6. I'm thinking G6 as I like gadgets and luxury, but XR6 is more sportier? I want to get back into an automatic car. THAT engine and THAT transmission is better than what Expensive Daewoo have to offer at the moment. Looking forward to it. Cheers
  9. Yeah my VZ Clubsport does this. Feels like an absolute weapon until you sit in traffic and let the heat build up, then it's gutless, feels probably 20% down on power. Once I get moving and cool air flowing through the motor it's back to normal. Takes probably 5-10mins to cool back down. The stock intake on them is pathetic.

    What? Sure I can. Jeez a simple google search shows you that other makes and configurations will lose 25-35%. Oh and dont think I'm "one of them" as I'm in the process of trading mine in for an F6.

    I wouldnt say it's a bad thing to be honest about their power figures.

    How accurate are these figures? I have a HSV Clubsport R8. Badged 297kw and only managed 218rwkw on Bob Romano's dyno in Brisbane in SHOOTOUT_8. I can tell you, my car is fine, it feels and performs like it should, compared to other clubby's I've been in. I would say from estimates that my 297fwkw = about 220rwkw, note it is a manual. ~25% loss? So how are these XR6T's pulling 240rwkw, something is not adding up. Happy dyno's or grossly GROSSLY conservative figures from Ford.
