Hi Guys,

This has recently gone up on the web:

The XR6T won!

Hows that for an aging beast?

That was an interesting read.

If they had chosen a T in a different colour, I bet it would have gotten more points.

They also mentioned that there was no ESP fitted. I was in the belief that all the XR falcons had the ESP fittes as standard.

That's exactly what I thought. I know that the BG MkI came with ESP fitted

[Blonk]

I did the right thing and posted it over the other side also..!!

Just show how good the XR6t was when it came out in 2002, it still can compete with a car that came out 5 years later with only minor upgrades, ok the zf is a bit more than minor

Got this response-

Ah Blonk, got bored over on the Ford forums and decided to come stir things up, haven't heard from you for a while. Please stay a while this time.

4.1 3.8.

Also pretty dumb article comparing Auto to manual, and since when was Bogan special an XR6T competitor, that's the XR8. The SS VE weighs less and from memory when a real driver has them both its SS first daylight second. So pretty poor effort all round and shows how desperate Ford are to get some press, they are now paying for articles like that.

To be expected really... I would have thought a very even match.. However I would like to see a comparison with just 3000 spent on each car......

[Laner]

a great result for the FORDS....I'm getting heaps bored with the billion $$ barge getting all the kudos from every car mag around, I still have to hold down my lunch everytime I see 1, yep, I aint a fan of the flares, the whole car is a little to me

You'd get that exact same response here if the article went the other way....

Darreb,

I would hope that the more moderatly thinking members would evaluate it with tact, you however will contribute your usual nonsensicle diatribe of esteedmed value to the unconvinced... Thanks for your post... it added nothing to society (but added to greenhouse gasses) other than the fact that fat people can aviod the biggest loser, simply by hiding behind the internet...

I love you passionately darren, howver Ifeel you should be more supportive of the mavasricks around here.. How can we possibly (personaly) benifit if we do not drive up the stakes of our opposition.... Do you want to play poker, or just eat hamburgers????
