I have driven a GS, and yep, sounded really good and auto was excellent, but simply wasn't fast enough stock (just didn't feel like it was making the numbers claimed) to warrant an upgrade. And those terrible stickers........ I (personally) thought the F6 was the better package so that would still be my choice. Im not knocking the GS though, all the Ts and FPV are great cars Edited 29/06/11 01:26 AM by CBXRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanway Member 106 Member For: 13y 5m 8d Gender: Male Location: townsville Posted 02/02/12 07:32 AM Share Posted 02/02/12 07:32 AM why do u need to start with the fpv f6 wen compairing the motorsif your gonna change out the turbo on the 6 anyways to make it compet with the 5Lv8 u migh as well start with a fg xr6 turbo with leather and opt it with the extras I was going to buy my fg new got some prices and managed to find a 2011 with 12klms on clock leather zf for 42000 so by my adding you could buy a brand new fgxr6 pull out your motor for a atomic or build your motor it put it together with the most amount of power the drive line can take and your happy all for under 57k probly with 450rwkw I understand the power curve of v8 is much better but the xrtra cost cabin noise fuel insurance it just dont cut it for me a supercharged v8 is ment to be insaine not 10% better .ha its funny but im a Expensive Daewoo fan but honestly holdens suck the only thing they did right is the Ls9 6.2L supercharged but there so freekin expencive, still a monster of a engine a real supercharged v8 just my 2 cents dont mean to upset anyone, ford just wasnt trying to make a monster, just beef up there failing na v8 range. the fg xr6t is much better value for power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howsee Donating Members 785 Member For: 17y 3m 8d Gender: Male Location: Carindale, Brisbane Posted 02/02/12 07:44 AM Share Posted 02/02/12 07:44 AM A mate of mine and I went on a road trip, both filled our tanks to the max and drive exactly the same route and covered over 400kms... At the end we both pulled into the servo and refilled our cars, over 400kms my GS had used less than 2l more fuel than his FG F6... So to say theirs worse on fuel is rubbish as we both drive the same and get the same kms to a tank and the same fuel consumption...Also AAMI charged me $200 less than the cost of the F6 and my rego is $200 more per year, so how they are more expensive I cannot understand...I was in the same boat before I bought the GS and I did all the research that was required and at the end of the day they are almost exactly on par cost wise, and I got mine for 50k, there are some GS sedans out there now for sale for mid 40's...Food for though???

I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coz of the exhaust. I'm sure a manual ute with an exhaust an tune would be quick, but then have the same issue of not hooking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
