    Gearbox?

    A lot of these reports would also be written by jurno's who drive a lot of performance cars that outprice the xr6t by double. I am sure that there is a direct comparison drawn to these other much more expensive cars in the performance bracket in regards to gear shift quality. Us general public would probably not notice a poor shift quality as much, if these reports hadnt been written.

    Gearbox?

    You will also get used to the gearbox anyway and shifting fast will become less difficult than when you first give it a go.
  3. still not a bad showing against a rex, with its 2 million less kilos and AWD traction.

    Police Mode

    So why is it called police mode?? Why not speedo calibration mode.
  5. Has anyone heard if there will be an xr6T competing in the GTP cup this year, if yes what class does it run in and what is the main competition to it in that class.
  6. love to be there but I dont pick my silouhette sedan up til mid april. Maybe next time.
  7. Insured through RACQ in queensland, no worries with the under 25 thing. I am 24, my fiance is only 20 and she is also on the policy as a nominated driver, that did jack the price up a bit though. Quoted $880 per year, live in country just outside toowoomba. Huge excesses though due to our poor driving history.
  8. This may be a stupid question but I dont know a great deal in exhaust upgrade benefits. I want to upgrage the exhaust but I dont want to make the car any louder, or only a minor rise in the exhaust level. Is increasing the diameter of the piping and then adding an extra resonator or muffler to quit it down going to nullify any power gains or will it still be ok.
  9. is a 400kw upgrade for real? And can I ask why people would want to make there xr's that powerful, they would be a b**ch to drive on the road everyday.
  10. What oil is preferred to make the shift better?
  11. has anyone else had as many problems as Mal? I am getting a bit worried reading this post that I have ordered the wrong car.
  12. My car is silohette which is black. so looks like I get a painted engine anyhow. hehe.

    Xr6t Speed Limiter

    I dont think a SV8 or SS would rev hard enough in top gear to need a speed limiter. I thought half the point of a speed limiter was to stop over reving the engine in top gear.
  14. Naturally they wont admit fault. What dealer was it so people who may be dealing with them can be extra careful.
  15. Has anyone tried this police mode. Does the car drive differently through the rev range, or is it just a higher top end with the speed limiter increased or disabled?
  16. do you think they could put a VY SS in the rear vision mirror.
  17. I am sure the holdens score poorly in the value and design sections.
  18. Why do you think the digital speedo function would be called police mode?? Cant they read a conventional speedo.

    Xr6t Speed Limiter

    Wheel magazine hit the lmiter in there shootout they did. That cut in at 239km/h. possible your speedo is out a bit more or less than the one they tested. But I am sure if you gave yourself more road you will find it no worries.

    Series II XR6T

    by the time a series 2 comes out, the wait time could have blown out even more.
  21. Falchoon, Do you also own the lines on the road?
  22. I will post some pics of mine when I pick it up. Exactly what your asking for.
  23. For anyone interested. High performance imports magazine did a comparison on the xr6t and the twin turbo supra. The xr6t has 189kw at the wheels 9 more than the supra. Although the supra won this comparo due to less weight and a better turbo setup, I think it should answer at least half of the original question.
  24. What warranty issues are there with lowering a new car. I did it to my pulsar when I bought that and nissan said it was all ok it wouldnt matter. Are ford the same?
