pieman18 Member 22 Member For: 12y 9m 21d 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, ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harryh Donating Members 166 Member For: 14y 2m 20d 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
