Mals BA XR6T Member 381 Member For: 22y 17d Location: Sydney Posted 10/10/04 03:14 AM Author Share Posted 10/10/04 03:14 AM I'm hearing stories about a 5 speed auto. Has anyone heard about this? If this is the case I may wait and just tweak the T a bit till the new auto arrives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 10/10/04 03:50 AM Share Posted 10/10/04 03:50 AM Has anyone had a look at the gear nob in the new 6 speed, it'll be like changing gears with a coco nut in your hand. I'll bet the sales of the momo nob will go through the roof.The T-56 seems to be one smoooooooth box, can't wait to get one on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gilto Guests Posted 11/10/04 01:50 AM Share Posted 11/10/04 01:50 AM Mal personally buddy I wouldn't even consider the GT.The XR6T with some mods would be nice!However the F6 is the obvious choice for me anyway. It's got looks, BIG road prescence, great body kit and styling, stronger engine, it's easier to modify, better accessories, starter button (not sure if you are into that) etc etc......I saw it at the motor show and I thought it was AMAZING!! It FAR exceeded my expectations. I saw it in black by the way. Check it out in the flesh, you will fall in love!!!! Pictures don't do it justice.

Also seems to have a better base for mods than the T, if that is what you desire. .......the base product will be good for modding too...not to mention the up-class feel you get with a FPV product..

Yep, have seen it in the flesh (Sydney Motor Show) and agree, it's a good looking car.I'm thinking 10k (15k if you consider fleet discounts) more than a XR6T is a bit over the top?I'm going to have to sleep on this for another night I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far the intercooler will go before diminishing returns for increased boost, if the engine is reliable at high KW (proper balancing and forged pistons may be needed), will the clutch need replacing and if its exhaust is identical to the T.Those after high power may just find themselves spending a lot on it anyway to get high kw.

Geeseman Donating Members 1,805 Member For: 21y 1m 23d Location: Sydney Posted 11/10/04 11:30 AM Share Posted 11/10/04 11:30 AM A tad more, but I'll be waiting to see the performance of the typhoon before adding any more, if at all. The next step is very expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said the clutch is upgraded its a AP racing twin plate clutch and dont you think that motor is allready balanced with Billet rods,Love to see what a Boss edit will do to the F6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
