And the fg xr6t is awesome to drive beats any phoon I've driven for the money you save from the f6 you could turn into a machine with the change of the turbo even with out, Although I heard there maxing out around 350rwkw I would so go for one but would rather an f6 kinda stock better re sale and still awesome stock..

If it aint broke don't fix it! Other than cosmetic stuff. The FG is the dogs bollocks in capability and looks and the best we've seen for a long while. Added to that you've got to spend BIG Commadom dollars to even come close to the FG6T and the Phoon in allround grunt. So why change it every year? The biggest challenge that Ford has now is how do they eclipse the FG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-MARTY54- Member 124 Member For: 16y 20d Posted 14/12/09 09:15 AM Share Posted 14/12/09 09:15 AM (edited) I wouldn't expect any changes to the XR6T engine wise... maybe a 10-15kw hike to bait the desperates who bought FG Ts. It's already quicker than the SS and XR8, no need to up the power for marketing reasons. Ford needs to work on the XR6Ts launch once max torque hits... this would make it quicker 0-100 than adding 20-30kw!!
