Went from 95 EF falcon to FG XR6T.

The old EF had over 200K klms on it and still going strong. Had just spent about 4k on it (suspension, brakes, cooling system etc as I was giving to the missus and kids for a daily driver and wanted to do the right thing ...you know -> Dad in the new car and the wife and kids in a death trap ....I wanted my girls be be safe). About 2 months after all that work done my 18 y.o P-Plater son wrote the bloody off, not his fault, all I got was 2.5k red book value from the father of the girl who turned in front of him. Yes, I shed a tear over fate on that one ...but at least the lad was safe, all the bags popped and the old EF and its new radiator etc crumpled nicely to protect him.....and just to think ....on that fateful day, the son had jokingly asked if he could just take my new FG XR6T "up the road for a quiet drive" without the P's on of course .....you know what my answer was hehe...

Upgraded from a WRX and a string of V8 Holdens the last of which was VX2 R8 to a FGXR6T Man. First Ford and absolutely loving it. Test drove the VE Bogan special etc and ended up buying the T sight unseen and without actually having driven one. (mate has a BF Phoon so had some idea) Coomodore just dint stack up either in price, equipment spec, performance or looks.

I havent quite decided yet if I've upgraded or downgraded yet as I've only had the new car for a few days. But below was my pride and joy, it was a 2002 s15 spec r gt, 6spd manual. someone bought it as a company sponsored drift car.

Now I have a 2006 BF markII xr6 turbo 6spd auto.

that looks clean as hell man. the cooler makes me cream :P

Starpulsechic: I have come from an import backround aswell, but driven mostly high powered fords.

I'd really like to know what you think about how your BF compares to the s15 when you start modding it :)

What do you think of it currently?

Which do you prefer and why?

upgraded from a 3.5l v6 rodeo - had to be limited slip diff, rear wheel drive and fun.

At the time the zf is what swayed me over a manual ss, glad I made the choice
