They either have it (XR6 and XR6T) or they don't (G6ET and all other variants). It was available as an option in the B series on all the cars including the XT but the F series no longer have it as an option. However, Dillz G6ET came with one so if you spoke to the dealer, they might be able to fit one for you before delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G6ET was better than anything (including FPV) in the 0-100km/h tests, I'm not certain if that has changed with the FG II as far as the FPVs go but it would certainly still have a lower time than the XR6T.Wheels magazine when the FG was first launched :XT:0-100km/h: 7.3 seconds0-400m: 15.3 @ 151km/hXR6NA:0-100km/h: 7.50-400m: 15.4 @149km/hG6:0-100km/h:7.40-400m: 15.4 @150km/hXR6T: 0-100km/h: 5.2 0-400m:13.4 @ 174km/hXR8:0-100km/h: 6.00-400m: 14.1G6E:0-100km/h: 7.30-400m: 15.3 @ 151G6E Turbo:0-100km/h: 5.10-400m: 13.3 @174km/h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've posted 1/4 mile comparisons above to compare open diff vs. LSD in a falcon, which is the topic yeah?. But anyway, let's continue this game, how many properly setup full-time drag cars run a limited slip diff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any number of things could of changed that result on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us sophisticated G6 drivers are not impressed by such behaviour - especially if it should cause the bowls or zimmer frames to shift around in the boot.And regardless of what is actually the best the main hurdle is psychological; what is perceived to be the better unit by those with closed minds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
