HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 2m 28d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 14/06/03 03:56 AM Share Posted 14/06/03 03:56 AM Magnadoore "S" or XR6, hmmmmmm.The XR6 NA slaughters the "S" let alone the turbo. Hell if he was to opt for the XR6Turbo. He would have something that is more than a match for the "SS V8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashie Donating Members 663 Member For: 22y 5d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 14/06/03 07:43 AM Share Posted 14/06/03 07:43 AM Show him the Wheels comparo that was carried out November last year between: S Supercharged V's XR6,SS V's XR6 Turbo,Calais V8 V's Fairmont Ghia, andExecutive V's XT.Ford won EVERY comparison.This may get him rethinking his decision.This article still makes me feel all warm inside when I read it.

Gareth Member 71 Member For: 22y 24d Posted 14/06/03 11:02 AM Share Posted 14/06/03 11:02 AM Yeah, no comparison really. I've driven the 300kw Commode and it didn't feel really good to me, particularly for an extre $50,000, so I imagine the S would be fairly ordinary.
