chaz67 Member 8 Member For: 16y 4m 25d Gender: Male Location: SA Posted 29/05/08 01:15 PM Author Share Posted 29/05/08 01:15 PM correct!no worries chaz67, which car are you going to get? Have you made your decision?like ColinT I took my wife to look at the cars but she fell in love with an XR6T in Nitro rather than the G6ET in Ego that was in the showroom. if I get it might have trouble keeping her from driving the car!!!! luckily she hates the WM Caprice I currently drive so never a problem. she drives a Focus Zetec so will get a bit of a frill in the Turbo.still not decided but leaning to the XR6T for something abit more sports like. it might come down to which one I can get first - not good at waiting. I am assuming that the issue with the delay in delivery for the turbo effectsboth the XR6T & GE6T?hoping to place an order in the next 2-3 weeks.

micksta Member 159 Member For: 19y 11m 27d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 23/06/08 02:20 PM Share Posted 23/06/08 02:20 PM Hi GuysNot sure if this has been talk about before, seriously looking at the F6, but it doesn’t seem to be much quicker then the XR6T.A friend of mine has driven both cars and his comments about the XR6T; it’s very quick off the mark, where the F6 seems to have more top end power, because of different gearing.The XR6T and the GE6T has done 13.1 ¼ mile, but the F6 doesn’t seem to be any quicker.Track tests show the F6 only just beats the R8 and not much quicker then the GT. I would have thought at least a second quicker, then the V8s. Considering the XR6T with heaps of extras is 50-55K, with out fleet discount and the F6 is 65k, before you add anything.From a performance and handling point of view, is it worth the extra cost when the performance doesn’t seem to be much better for 70k plus drive away.It’s a very sexy machine, but it’s also got a big price tag to go with it.What do you guys think?

seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel.
