Xt Vs Xr6

[Guest]

Reading the new Motor mag and in the back with the run down on all new cars you'll find the 0 to 100 kmph. Have a look at the XT Vs XR6 N/A. Any one got a answer about why that's the story?

I'd post their findings but don't have the mag with me now, can say the XT put sh*t on the XR6. Anyone know if the vehicles used were autos or manual, or could the answer be the diff ratios.

I would have thunk the T5 (crap it may be) would still be quicker 0 to 100 and down the quarter mile.

BEing the XT is a povrty pack, I am sure you will find it lighter.

They share the same motor and driveline, so I guess it will always come down to weight.

But they recon the weight is the same in the mag, don't ask me how they'd do it. The time dif is about a full second on the 0 to 100kmph, and Ive heard the ratio in the diff arn't the same.

After all the money Ive spent on my XR, I'll have to rip the page out of the mag before the wife finds it. anyone know the adress to ask motor a question?

Falcon XT, 0-100 in 7.23 secs and 1/4 mile time 15.28

Falcon XR6, 0-100 in 8.11 secs and 1/4 mile time 15.86

The answer to these times as already stated is certainly weight, however it would be interesting to know weather the XR6 was fitted with a LSD because im told this is an option on them

What I find really interesting though is the acceleration times for XR6T and XR8 utes.

T, 0-100 in 6.77 secs and 1/4 mile time of 14.82

XR8, 0-100 in 6.82 secs and 1/4 mile time of 14.84.

NOTE: those times in the utes were done with auto trannys.

I think if you had an XT and did the 2nd CAI and a decent set of extractors you could feel pretty confident rocking up at the lights against either of these utes....

Now that's why I didnt by a XR6 ..

To similar to the XT

Straight to the Turbo thank you ...

very very interesting.

You may even say that with a 2nd CAI and the Edit a XT (taxie) may even flog a XR6T or XR8 ute. what a turn up. question is just how much work would have to be done to take out a XR6T four door?

Any one got a XT out there, how about going to the nearest tip and doing a weight cheak for us all. I may do one with a work vehicle soon but not till next week.

Last question, can we trust what they print on the times when motor say the XT and the XR6 weight is the same?

Look at the specs on the Ford website.

I recon the weight thing is bullsh*t!

When looking for a car I looked at all model falcons and compared what they have and dont have etc, and I can't see how the XR6 would weigh more then the XT. Basically the a base XR6 is an XT with few cosmetic differences and different trim. The only "big" difference being in the wheels! IMO the base XR6 is pretty pov too.

Hence my choice of transport!
