Hoping that you were talking about a secret button hidden under the passenger seat......It's a secret button that ejects your passenger if they are giving you the sh*ts....

Makes sense cause I noticed it do that sometimes coming back on Bells Line Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81492-in-the-market-fg-xr6t-sell-the-fg-to-me-merged-topic/page/7/#findComment-1301243 Share on other sites More sharing options...

broke Donating Members 229 Member For: 13y 6m 10d Gender: Male Posted 05/10/12 03:46 AM Share Posted 05/10/12 03:46 AM my mate owns a VE2 Thunder and he often takes me for drives in it. He's a typical Expensive Daewoo driver to in the sense that he's always pushing it close to the rev limiter and loves to try and impress me given I own an FGT. I'll always remember a night we were hanging and I started up my car and he was all "is that it?!" then he started his car which has a cat back exhaust. Whilst it was impressive to listen to that was about all. Anyway we came up to a set of lights and it was inevitable that he was going to try and go me at the green. Anyway he got the jump on me but by about the 60m mark I eased past him and that was a standing start. Next set was a rolling start from about 40km/h and I chopped him real bad that time, a good 4 or 5 car lengths. Which needless to say put a smile on my face haha. He used to bag my car out all the time for not sounding as tough, which come to think of it he hasn't done since!I do agree with all the above, VE interior feels and looks cheap as to me. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81492-in-the-market-fg-xr6t-sell-the-fg-to-me-merged-topic/page/7/#findComment-1305148 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby-Seadoo Member 11 Member For: 12y 7m 5d Posted 18/10/12 10:09 AM Share Posted 18/10/12 10:09 AM Well I was in the exact same position about 3 weeks ago. Looking at either VE SS or XR6 Turbo. Went the XR6 Turbo and havent looked back. Loads of power if I want it and WAY less fuel used then the SS. Honestly, I think the FG's look better then the VE aswell. just my 2 cents ... 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81492-in-the-market-fg-xr6t-sell-the-fg-to-me-merged-topic/page/7/#findComment-1311108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
