ronburgundy I love gooold member Donating Members 1,222 Member For: 15y 10m 21d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne (west) Posted 26/08/09 10:00 PM Share Posted 26/08/09 10:00 PM Err I'm pretty sure it DOESN'T have base suspension Rick. Check your spec sheet mate.Also I'm pretty darn sure that while the XR may be 20 years old, I don't reckon they've been putting turbos in them (from the factory at least) until fairly recently - BA onwards? This is my first Ford as I've been a Expensive Daewoo man, but by my count that's less than 10 years.Why would we want the choice of an engine that is slower and drinks 25% more fuel? For G6ET dollars you can buy an XR8, so that is choice enough in itself.Last I checked they all came off the same line, so I'm not sure why the the XR interior would have higher fart-resistance.

Getting to work and drive these things around, they are a great machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vfast Member 70 Member For: 16y 6m Posted 27/08/09 05:44 AM Share Posted 27/08/09 05:44 AM Excuse your XR comments mate,not everyone wants a single spinner with the grandad/queen options with base model suspension and interior that is ruined if you fart near the car,the XR6T is the cult car of aussie motoring history and the re-badged fairmont should count itself lucky for having an XR engine as an option,atleast in the XR range you have the choice of a V8,The XR range is respected highly as it has been around for nearly 20 years,most people would ask WTF is a G6ET (pig latin?) if they were to ask what you drive. Way to go with thread mining.And not everyone wants a LSD either and the rest of the post I cant be bothered with. Go beat up a LS1 owner or something.

nang3 12" member Donating Members 2,107 Member For: 19y 5m Location: Perth WA Posted 27/08/09 10:35 PM Share Posted 27/08/09 10:35 PM While I do love the G6ET's I do wish they came with an LSD standard.. I know it might not appeal to most buyers as they are more of a classy sleeper type car, I will probably eventually buy one and I know occasionally I will want to lose traction in a sideways like manner.. on my private road yada yada..although that being said I took one for a demo and stomped on it out of the yard and it went nice and sideways very easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
