If your ok with that the XR with engine mods should be a treat.

Member 1,452 Member For: 21y 10m 1d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 23/02/05 10:07 AM Share Posted 23/02/05 10:07 AM black,you're asking me if you like the taste of Vegemite.Youre here because youre intrigued by the XR6T...understandable.If you want effortless power, smooth power delivery (almost non-turbo like), more comfort and good handling (for size) then the XR6T is for you. The engine mates particularly well to the auto which is why 70% of XR6Ts are auto.If you want to feel the violent and fun acceleration of a WRX off the lights with a 5000rpm clutch dump then WRX is for you. Wear n tear is the trade off.Stock XR6T manual will do a 14.1 ¼ mile; auto 14.2; stock '04 WRX 14.0. Once you start modding the auto Ts take over. Find a modded XR6T owner in your city via this forum and make your own mind up, Im sure many will be willing to take ya for a spin.cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/15911-wrx-vs-xr6-turbo/page/2/#findComment-223359 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking at the 6 speed manual. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/15911-wrx-vs-xr6-turbo/page/2/#findComment-223379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
