I am a manual man but after driving the 6 speed auto I haven't even bothered test driving the 6 speed manual, partly because my brother used to have a 6 speed manual GT and I drove that and loved it but this auto is something else. that's what I'm doing as soon as I sell my car I will be upgrading to BF 6 speed auto XR6T. Just need someone to buy my car dammit. My mate is trying to decide between a XR6T or a 200sx. He wants a 200sx to be differet but I am trying to convince him to get the XR6T. From what he has been telling me the 200sx is more expensive to mod as well so might be the same with the S15 not sure. Good luck with whatever you choose.

JimmyXR6T04 Member 1,299 Member For: 19y 9m 20d Location: Canberra Posted 13/01/07 07:08 PM Share Posted 13/01/07 07:08 PM the only way an S15 will be cheaper on fuel is when you're driving it off boost.. give it a good flogging and watch the difference in fuel usage be f*ck all.. so don't let that argument sway you. I had a mate with a rex who's fuel usage was shocking... he did flog it though. Other problem is, being a 2L, they pretty much rely on boost to get them going.. where as the falcons 4L motor is already strong enough, big enough, and has enough power/torque to not always need the turbo to get going. good luck either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt I can get an s15 as fast as my T with the same amount spent, and T007 your right, I just cant let this dam thing go lol.if I dont manage to sell her ill be doing a few more mods to keep me satisfied, on a side note how much power do you think the auto g/b can take with just a tranny cooler. I want to do exhaust, fuel pump and injectors if it doesnt sell, but dont know if the stock g/b can take it. any g/b guys in sydney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
