bluute Cant wait to drive it Donating Members 884 Member For: 16y 2m 19d Gender: Male Location: Golden Bay,WA Posted 31/07/08 01:52 AM Share Posted 31/07/08 01:52 AM I'm starting to think those 19"'s are 'the horn'. Can you comment on the ride quality? I guess hard if you have nothing to compare it to?the 19's are definately the go it just doesent look right with 18's they dont fill the gurds as for the ride quality it is awesome ive test driven a couple of fg's G6E in particular with 18's and I cant say I noticed any difference I will let you know when the old man lets me off the leash and I can give it a good drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing a few FG's in my rear view mirror, the front is stunning, but the rear is poo IMO I have to agree about the rear although for me its the tail lights that I dont like moreso than the sheetmetalthey look like the aftermarket clear jobs you buy from supercrap they need some chrome or something like ba/bf instead of the black rim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adzy Member 14 Member For: 17y 1m 25d Posted 31/07/08 07:25 AM Share Posted 31/07/08 07:25 AM (edited) Mate I dont go by dynos there power readings dont reflect performance my ba xr6t was dynoed at 245 rwkw and on the road it had nothing, but this thing feels fast and is fast I already had a run with a 335 bm and had 2 cars on him with a passenger in the g6et.Wheels and motor had tested this car 0 - 100 and got readings of 5.1 secs and that's on 95 ron fuel!Relax mate, the G6e has been tested and was one pathetic tenth of a second faster than the XR6T, maybe the tester went to the toilet between testing both cars and lost 80 grams of weight from his bladder! Very simple, if someone doesn't have handling as their number one priority and want a bit more class and comfort; you go the G6E.If you want less body roll and better handling, not to mention an LSD, you go the XR6T. Not even worth mentioning a car is quicker by one tenth.I heard there was a problem with the turbos on the new engine, a couple have failed and were recalled...... any news on this??

Ford_Power Member 798 Member For: 21y 6m 1d Posted 31/07/08 10:55 AM Share Posted 31/07/08 10:55 AM Yes correct. From what I have heard though, the issue was actually with Garrett who manufacture the turbochargers themselves.Garrett rectified the issue before Ford started fitting them to FGs.^^ Again, this is just what I have heard.
