You'll usually learn about things on here well before the dealers are even aware of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll usually learn about things on here well before the dealers are even aware of it.+2 ^^^This is true. Few weeks ago when I was looking for a car I spotted a nice fg xr6 turbo for about 36k, 60k odd km's.Dealer told me to grab one of these cars cause next year (2010) the xr6t is getting discontinued and Ford will ONLY be building xr8's. I just laughed and left the yard LOL! . Stupid fool, The Xr6 T will not go. He just wanted me to get it haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some enthusiasts have a degree, many car dealers BS'ed their way through high school. Last dealer I visited didn't know what downshift rev matching was.

I think they look good on the 310, however the dark agents would have been better, but then again at 6ok who really cares.have owned the r-spec and now the 310 I know which car is better all round regardless of the wheels , I thought the bf was great however the fg is just lightyears ahead.
