noodle Member 12 Member For: 15y 7m 23d Posted 07/07/09 09:20 PM Author Share Posted 07/07/09 09:20 PM I didn't get a maloo because they are about 25k dearer than a xr6 turbo and it is pretty much what I have already. A turbo is something completely different which I can get to know and love all over again. I had a vz maloo that I spent a lot of money on- stereo,sunroof ,remote start and expensive exhaust and chip etc. Still only managed a 13.6 1/4 mile on stock rims etc. Hopefully with only a couple of grand worth of mods on the turbo will get into the 12's. Plus the way I am expecting the turbo to perform will be a lot more fun and a bit more of a handful when the boost comes on. I've had a lot of modified v8s in my time , toranas and commodores mostly but never even driven a decent turbo. Just something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8SuperCars Member 29 Member For: 15y 7m Posted 18/07/09 11:13 PM Share Posted 18/07/09 11:13 PM Im in a similar position to noodle, just ordered a XR6T been a massive Expensive Daewoo man (God knows what im going to do with my 2billion HRT clothing LOL) and a massive V8SuperCars race fan, but after driving my Expensive Daewoo SS ute for 5years from new I went to upgrade and seen the VE interia is so VY its not funny, I went to Ford and looked at the V8 and the dealer said wait a second and grab the keys to a FG F6 ute and off we went super long story short DAMMNNN my first ever drive in a Ford was a mental F6 talk about leaving a sweet taste in your mouth, leaving me with a totally new attitude towards Ford, then went in XR6T sedan for test drive(only had ute in FPV to test drive) while not as race car feel it again totally blow my mind, and I mean totally!Not sure if you have your car yet noodle but from a Expensive Daewoo driver you will never ever look back, I know im not anyway.But as stubborn as I am LOL I went back to Expensive Daewoo to drive the Bogan special and walked away a happy man, knowing that my gut feeling was correct the XR6T Ute is the ute to own in this generation of Aussie cars.

noodle Member 12 Member For: 15y 7m 23d Posted 28/08/09 06:04 AM Author Share Posted 28/08/09 06:04 AM COOL!!!!! Pick up my new fg turbo ute in ego with luxury pack on tuesday! Cannot wait . After nearly 3 months I finally get to drive the new beast. The dealer lent me a na xr6 with the 6spd auto and I can say not once have I missed the gts while I have had use of that car. Good handling and surprising amount of go for a na6. Still prefer a manual though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force f6 Member 2 Member For: 15y 5m 25d Gender: Male Location: Wanganui New Zealand Posted 31/08/09 09:13 AM Share Posted 31/08/09 09:13 AM Hi all, first time post and to be honest a bit of a surprise for me. I have decided that my 07 ve gts has to go in favour of a ute and picked up the phone to ring my local Expensive Daewoo dealer when a thought crossed my mind. How will I feel driving a ve ss ute compared to my gts? Won't it be just a big step backwards in terms of power, handling and the interior? So then it occured to me that there are two brands of aussie ute and one has a turbo! COOL! So the local ford bloke came to my work in a black xr6t ute with luxury pack to show me, offered a stupidly low trade for my gts(which I accepted) and asked me if I wanted a test drive. No I said , I just want one anyway. The misses has a ve sv6 so if I want to drive a Expensive Daewoo that's not much different to a ss anyway. When I get my fg turbo that will be the first ford I've driven on a public road in about 10 years. REALLY can't wait. Straight in to get lowered and then power upgrade after first service.Shot Bro, I am a newbie and just starting to post as I need to get the training title off me "it sucks" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
