Cheers for all the replies, I mainly asked the question out of curiosity, I mainly hear of people camming 8's but that's only because I'm a novice. Cheers for all the responses though. Cheers Tom.

Hello all, Just wondering are people putting upgraded cams in the xr6t? Is it a mod worth doing and how do these motors react to this upgrade? Cheers in advance. Tom.

Cheers for the info mate, most likely just go for the X, just keeping my options open.

Hey all, just another Question, what is the difference between the fg xr6 turbo and the ford G6E turbo? I know there is cosmetic differences and the the g6e only comes in auto but from a handling and performance side what are the differences? Cheers.

Nah I don't have it anymore but those recaro seats are the best supporting seats I've ever been in, going around corners is a breeze as they hold you in so well.

That's exactly what I needed to here, cheers Bulletime, deffinently will be one of the first mods on the list.

Cheers for the replies all, would be great to here from someone who has coil overs installed, I'm not after handling like a wrx but something that will still corner pretty well without a sh&t load of body roll and bucket loads of under steer.

Another question I have is how does the fg xr6 turbo handle? I like to go for spirited drives around the great ocean road, I used to have the xr5 turbo and that handled like it was on rails, I know the fg will not handle like the xr5 but I'm still after a good handling vehicle.

I will most likely go the auto, I will still take the manual for a test just to rule it out. My whole life I have driven manual cars so I think it's time for the auto for comfortable cruising plus bigger sedans like the ford been a manual will probably get tiring after a while.

I did have a XR5 turbo about 4 years ago but had to sell it for a work ute, I'm after a family sized car with some decent power, I have taken the fg xr6 turbo with the zf box for a test drive and loved it, the zf box is very smooth, I'm wanting to take a manual for a test but the auto was very nice.

Cheers Wilko16 I thought that would be the case just thought I would find out before I purchase.

Hello all, my name is Tom and I'm new to the forums. Towards the end of this year I am looking at purchasing a fg xr6 turbo, I'm wanting to know will parts for the xr6 turbo become more expensive and harder to come buy as ford are going to discontinue this range in the next few years, I'm just thinking ahead, if I ever need something replaced on the motor or anything mechanical will there still be parts available and at what cost? I will also be doing some mods such as exhaust, intercooler, cold air intake, injectors and tune will there still be aftermarket pars readily available? Cheers tom
