Paint it black..Diff bushErm I see sequential manuals in v8 supercars that dont require the clutch on upshift cause its quicker.Has anybody ever put a holinger in a T?(im not talking about the current trans axle). Pretty pricey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same dilemma last year and was looking at the FG XR6T and GE6T's but always wanted the F6 so in the end the bank had plenty of money and no way would I look back from getting the F6. Yeah the MKII would have been nice for interior touch screen etc but not the asking price over the MK1. You could pick up a 09-10 F6 for low $30's now so no time like the present. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinning Donating Members 348 Member For: 15y 5m 3d Posted 01/05/14 08:25 AM Share Posted 01/05/14 08:25 AM Pay mid $30's for 2011 F6 (say with 50k's ) . Although you won't have any choice on colour and or trans ... and yes as stated above a 2008/9 with similar k's can be sort with low $30's ... Try a bid harder with then 2011 seller and pick up a nicer interior . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolfgxr6t Member 30 Member For: 11y 2m 28d Posted 01/05/14 09:28 AM Share Posted 01/05/14 09:28 AM I wouldn't give up my manual fg for an auto even if it was 5seconds quicker. Manual so much more fun. my mate wishes he bought a manual now after driving mine. But I guess its what you want to do. get good times down the quarter or have fun driving around. 0 to 100 about the same anyway if you're driving around street. just takes more skill in manual;)Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most banks will definitely want you to get full comprehensive insurance on the car as part of the loan agreement. And these cars aren't cheap to insure for under 25s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
