Does it not scare you that if you crash your insurance will not cover you? That's the one thought I had when considering going to the drags....knowing my luck I would do something dumb or have grippy tyres that fling me into the wall LOLBut I'm a bit paranoid sometimes.... at least you put them smelly V8 boys in their place! Anyone seen any good FG's being XT, G6, XR6 (NA) for sale?Chasing something under 100,000k's for around $17,000.There should be 50 billion N/A FG's in that price range mate!Seen ones with just over (like 110,000kms) as cheap as 10KFor 17K you should find a really good one with less than 50,000kms....I think I remember a 'tricked out' G6 with 50ish thousand kms for around 14K (if that's something your dad would want) and by tricked out I mean more cosmetic changes and a nice full exhaust....But yeah plumtree will be your best bet...

Lennox Member 2,586 Member For: 11y 8m 22d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 17/10/14 02:06 AM Share Posted 17/10/14 02:06 AM Yeah XFT is just around the corner masda.... I know the service is sh*t but seems his work and tunes are good so.. I'll pay for convenience Just gonna bust in injectors cat cheapo f6 cooler I got (see if t makes any difference, probably nothing)And hope for around 400hp.Ptr it's a straight line as long as you can control your car doing a burnout at the start you should be fine or going just a little sideways at the launch in first/second... It's the really high powered cars that crash cos they go sideways at like 200kmh and you gotta be pretty skilled to get it back on line then!!! In a stocky you should be fine. Remember it's way stickier than a normal road Although some stooge drove off the end of the track just before me into the sandpit! Hahaha I was stuck on the line for like 20 mins while they towed him out.. He drove off in shame and left the venue forever I assume 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Yeah I should probably give it a crack one day and just stop being a baby....but still....what if I'm the stooge who drives into the sandpit! hahahah I'm also scared of breaking stuff I.e. twisting my new stock tailshaft that got replacedI will have to sort out my shuddering too before I try any of that stuff....but yeah....hopefully one day I will give it a go (whilst stock) and then one more time when tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XtRmn8 570Nm @1800rpm Donating Members 2,441 Member For: 21y 1m 27d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 17/10/14 02:35 AM Share Posted 17/10/14 02:35 AM Hey all seem pretty good until you look a little further and find that they are ex rentals from Kalgoorlie Airport!My exact thoughts after reading the specs your old man wants. I recon 90% of the XR6s will be ex-rentals. Steer clear of the earlier 5 speed autos.There were some very cheap 2012 EcoBoost XTs and G6s but it looks like all stock has dried up. You might have seen this already, but most likely a rental: http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Ford-Falcon-2011/AGC-AD-16629726/?Cr=13&sdmvc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
