Turbofalke Member 658 Member For: 20y 3m 7d Location: Mexico Posted 30/03/05 04:43 AM Share Posted 30/03/05 04:43 AM Hi peoples,I think its time to tell a story about a good experience in the XR6T.Last Friday the wife and I took off from Melbourne to the Barossa to pick up some wine. What a fantastic run. Ive never been to SA before and enjoyed the roads and the places we visited. From the Barossa to Adelaide, then to McLaren Vale, then to the Coonawarra, back to home via the Limestone Coast. Traffic was calm, except for one idiot in an SS who after flying past me was booked about 5 minutes later by a cop in an XR8 Really enjoyed the overtaking power of the turbo (110 to 160 in a heartbeat) Car didn't miss a beat, and handled like it was ment too. Couldn't have been happier with it. Stats according to the trip confuser:Time = 25:30 hrsDist = 2060kmsAve Speed = 80.5km/hrAve lts/100km = 11.1 (that's about 186lts @ about $1.17/lt = $217)Total Wine Consumption including purchases 17lts/100km (at about $40/lt) Priceless.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboDewd FG Falcon fan!

I cant imagine any joker trying anything similar in a 350Z or WRX - it just wouldnt be as comfy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's also where I really appreciate the T. It makes a fantastic highway cruiser with grunt when required. Enjoy the wine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
