How does it compare to your BF XR6T?Compared to BF XR6T - there is no comparison, I thought the XR6T was fantastic, but this thing is undescribable, I only drive it weekends and it gives you something to look forward to.The car has more power, it comes in earlier and much harder, suspension even though sporty is not as rough, seats are fantastic.I had a car accident last March (Young lady ran up the back of my ute while I was stopped giving way to a semi) and injured my lower back pretty badly - driving the XR6 really hurt even after five minutes- when I test drove the G6ET it was comfortable, have driven Rocky to Sunshine coast and Rocky Mackay with absolutely no pain at all.Next weekend we are off for a little jaunt to the Sunshine Coast to give it a run. Took mates out to dinner last night (GT owners) and they were wrapped in the G6ET.Great car, just love it the more I get to drive it. It is great being a Grandpa Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/61479-traded-my-bfxr6-on-g6e-turbo/page/2/#findComment-943895 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they fixed the road or is it still a bit goat-track-ish?

Was great fun for a while then you started wishing it was over, great views. Was a little bit of single bitumin with dirt edges near the alpaca farm but luckily we did not meet anyone on this bit.Had lunch at O'Reileys, very nice but watch out for bush turkeys, had to chase one to get my salad roll back, it was still in the plastic wrap and then shared my chips with a dozen king parrots. Then for a walk in the rain forest on the suspended walkways - something different.
