He is looking at getting a BF mk2 XR6 Turbo ute or a Tornado. Just after some advice as to which to go for? Is he better off going for the Turbo paying a bit less and using the money saved from not buying the Tornado on mods for the Turbo which could see him with more power than a Tornado or is it a better choice to just get the Tornado? He has modded his CV8 a bit and should see about $35k going on similar ones that are for sale atm. Any suggestions appreciated.CheersBrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think of any major reason to go one way or the other... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall I think the tornado looks better, but if performance is what he is after just pick up an XR6T, after 06/06 I think come with the stronger bottom end, pour some cash into it and away you go. Plus there are some absolute bargains on T's at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has his heart set on a Toxic one and wants to dump it with black rims, dont know if that limits things either way. Looking at carsales the average for XR6 Turbos is mid 20's-mid 30's and for FPV BF mk2 mid 30's-mid 40's.Again thanks for the info guys I'll pass it on to him.CheersBrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
