DrewBytes Member 95 Member For: 21y 10m 26d Location: Canberra Posted 05/06/03 04:20 AM Share Posted 05/06/03 04:20 AM Hey guys. I've been following the XR6T with interest since I read a review on Autospeed.I'm a Late model camira man, always have been (I'm 33yo) but I gotta admit the XR6T is a damn impressive car, and seems to respond very well to powerups. Unlike some people, I can appreciate nice nice cars with other badges.I'm considering upgrading my sleeper VN Commie (http://www.vncalais.com/) to either an SV8 or XRT6 in the next year or so, they're both great cars, and some serious power can be obtained from both with minimal mods - so it'll be interesting to see which way I go when the time comes!I'm from Canberra - might have to catch up with you guys some time when you meetup, so you guys can show me how these things go. It would be nice to be in the passenger seat of a modded XR6T to help me decide... Enjoy guys Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/3571-from-the-other-side-xr6t-is-nice/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, last weekend I went and test drove an SS Late model camira with my friend as he is tossing up between a SS and a Astra Turbo. The Astra will be available to us in a couple of weeks. I was quiet impressed with the SS and the power delivery. I do admit that these cars are quite competitive and either way you would not be displeased. But for me, I'll stick to my XR.

DrewBytes Member 95 Member For: 21y 10m 26d Location: Canberra Posted 05/06/03 07:34 AM Author Share Posted 05/06/03 07:34 AM Been reading through the site, and stumbled across the leasing stuff. Check with my boss, it's ok, check with the leasing company, all sounds very attractive. Maybe I could buy one sooner It's almost too good to believe, that I can lease a car, and for less than a normal loan payment per week I get the car, fuel, servicing, tyres etc all thrown in for a lower price!I've yet to drive both cars Simon, but I think I'll be doing that soon They both are very tempting to me, I guess it's what happens when I sit in the cockpit that will sway me to one or the other. Please let me know how you go when you do - I'd be interested to know your thoughts too.

Hate hauling my dogs around in the back seat, furry buggers just make a mess, so the wagon is :o Ford really should make a performance wagon - they only made 500 SS wagons and when I gave a deposit today they said I nearly missed it, it seems they've all nearly sold already.
