OwnaXR6T Member 1,519 Member For: 22y 5m 1d Location: Sydney Australia Posted 04/12/02 12:26 AM Share Posted 04/12/02 12:26 AM I would like your opinions on what would be The XR6T's competitor because when you really think about it the supercharged commadore six is hardly a match and that only leaves us with the SS which has similar performance figures but its pricing would make it more of a XR8 competitor. and we all know that the XR8 will eat it alive. I guess when you think about it the closest thing to our turbo would be a wrx but its way smaller.

This will have the 220kw engine that is an option on the Falcon range.

Guest DZ. Guests Posted 04/12/02 02:35 AM Share Posted 04/12/02 02:35 AM I would just say that it currently really doesn't have one. If you take the V8 option on the XT then it's around the same ballpark price as the SV8 so that's the SV8's real competitor, otherwise you could say that the SV8 doesn't have on either.

I think we will have to wait till the new VY II to come out with the new V6. I hear they will be turbo charging it. copycats.

B) I thought the same thing, but I was talking to Tony during the Sydney Motorshow and he said that GT-P is going to target the R8, which I found a little strage considering Ford won't have a Senator competitor. Then again, a Senator competitor is not all that important anyway considering the volume of cars sold in this particular segment. I think HSV sells more Clubbies than anything else.As for the XR6T competitor, I think they're aiming at the SS. The XR8 is going to be in a class of its own by the looks of it.
