pieman18 Member 22 Member For: 13y 1m 25d Posted 26/04/12 10:45 AM Share Posted 26/04/12 10:45 AM Hey allAs the title states, I'm after a comparison between a ba/bf falcon xr6 and an xr6 turboI'm in the market for a new car, these are a couple of my favourite options, I would love an xr6 turbo, but I'm worried that most xr6's have been flogged in their lives, an xr6 seems like a safer option, but I just can't seem to stop wanting a turboI guess I'm just after a 'pro and con' type deal from those that own either oneCheers guysDan...

Cons for a turbo would be the maintenance, fuel and fixing things that break, but if you buy a good base, mod the thing properly, you won't have much trouble... Pros, PPOWWWARRRRRCons for the n/a, its n/a... Pros, ????

harryh Donating Members 166 Member For: 14y 6m 24d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 26/04/12 01:55 PM Share Posted 26/04/12 01:55 PM Given almost everybody here has the turbo, the answer is obvious. Nobody here is thinking "I wish mine wasn't a turbo". If you go the n/a you will be saying "fark I wish I had the turbo". If you want one that's less likely to be flogged, buy the G6e turbo, they are only driven by cardigan wearing lawn bowlers. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79894-ba-xr6-vs-xr6-turbo/#findComment-1227723 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MX Dave Donating Members 545 Member For: 14y 16d Gender: Male Posted 26/04/12 11:23 PM Share Posted 26/04/12 11:23 PM (edited) I service both cars regularly and the only thing I preferred in the NA6 compared to the 6T is the marginally better throttle response.Other than that they are particularly boring in comparison.Oh and the extra space in the bay was a small plus side aswell; easier to work on Edited 26/04/12 11:24 PM by MX Dave Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79894-ba-xr6-vs-xr6-turbo/#findComment-1227788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
