Last resort was ringing around the area where the guy lived, no mechanic remembered the car, but the pub did. lol.Hope it goes to a good home, but it was too hard to overlook lack of service history!Still in the hunt!-Ryan Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41452-soon-to-be-xr6t-owner-needs-help/page/2/#findComment-618224 Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are we all .. ?Was just reading through as I am very interested in a 04 xr6t that I test drove today (I am very impressed) and wanted to know what peoples thoughts where on autos (semi auto or what ever the 4speed box is). I have never owned on auto b4, and did not want to get one, but I found that I didnt mind the one I drove today .. I was told that they are well biult and not many problems have arisen with the xr6t, is this true?? I was so impressed that I got the dealer to hold it, and will probly be in monday to put a deposit on it after taking it for another 'test dive'thankyou, Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41452-soon-to-be-xr6t-owner-needs-help/page/2/#findComment-619693 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I more than likly wounldnt be modding it for a while and also have red around the place that the auto is ment to be alot smoother than the manuals, but there isnt any manuals here for me to test. And it probly depends on the driving style of the driver, lol.Thankyou,Tim.

coupeboy351 Member 55 Member For: 17y 8m 13d Posted 13/01/08 01:34 AM Share Posted 13/01/08 01:34 AM the 5 speed manual is not strong enough for the huge torque that the xr6t puts out and many have bought them and regretted it.I have a 04 auto xr6t and the 4 speed is fine, the 6 speed is stronger but the 4 speed will be fine and handle mods up to around 250rwkw's without problems but if you chase big power then it's wise to do the box up to cope.most of the stockies have about 200 rwkw's except for the freak motors. you will love driving your new xr6t im sure as much as I do. enjoy Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41452-soon-to-be-xr6t-owner-needs-help/page/2/#findComment-619887 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock power is 'big' enuff for me for the time being, as my last car was a pulsar that my mum just bought from me, lol. so I think I will take it slow in the xr6t for a bit. And I think judging by what I have red and been told about them I will be very happy with it. As long as I can get it insured for a reasonable dolar .. lol Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41452-soon-to-be-xr6t-owner-needs-help/page/2/#findComment-619967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
