Like in HSV land, you get murdered in resale. Not great on a T either, but proportionally you lose less over a few years.Spend 5k on performance mods a base T and you'll have a pretty good taxi, lol. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he is quoting himself and then replying to it on my screen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 14y 5m 30d Posted 10/07/12 09:16 AM Share Posted 10/07/12 09:16 AM I was in the same position when it came to choosing between the two acouple of years ago.The way I figured it was that I was going to change most things that differentiated a XRT to an F6 anyway. ie brakes,suspension,wheels,,intercooler etcI was over body kits after my HSV's..wanted something a little more subdued I guess but still personalized. Hell I don't think I would of gone as far as I have if I hadn't stumbled across this damn website!! lol.. But all in all I'm happy with my choice.. And that what it comes down too. What you personally feel will fulfill your requirementsEither way you really cant go wrong..unless you buy an Bogan special of course !!.Oh.. I must add.. the difference in insurance premiumsCheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't connect the revving engine until he burst off the line while I meandered on my merry way, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwalmsley83 Member 3 Member For: 12y 7m 15d Posted 10/07/12 11:52 AM Author Share Posted 10/07/12 11:52 AM I don't mind the Bogan special . They just go rubbish in comparison and apparently still have piston slap issues. Farrrk that. Interior and seating position is better. But again, farrrk thatI won't be doing modifications. Been through that with the skyline. I'm buying this and keeping warranty in tact.Lads, is the backlash in the manual significant? To be honest I didn't notice it, but it all honestly it was a fairly short test drive.Has anything been done in the mk11 relating to backlash issues in the manual.
