Long time no read.I am looking to buy one of the above and the budget is around $50,000.Which way would you go? A used F6 or a new, but slower XR6T or G6ET?Also, what would be required to make the slower cars go as hard as the F6 and what would those mods cost?

Wouldn't buy an FGX personally. If you're a Ford person then maybe look for a nice B series Rspec or F6. If not that brand loyal I wouldn't even bother with a Falcon tbh.

All the problems with the FG have now been solved and they are nice build quality. Also if you're buying a USED F6 prepare that has been given a hard life regardless of km's. What other car besides a G6e Turbo has the same luxury and power for around $50,000? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure its a MKII all touch screen and get one with a nice colour and wheel combo.Good luck!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other car besides a G6e Turbo has the same luxury and power for around $50,000?All the problems have been solved you say? They've fitted a new/better IRS setup have they? They've fixed the tendency for the seat bases to crack? They've fixed how hit and miss the manual gearboxes are with respects to issues? They've fixed the fact that Ford don't seem to want to know about said issues and that they're "within spec"? They've fixed the tendency for the interior to rattle and creak? They've put the ICC screen in a better spot so you can actually use your sat nav when the sun's out? They've updated the interior to something newer than 2008? They've stopped the tendency for rust with lighter colour paints? They've started putting enough paint on so that the front doesn't chip off if a stone so much as looks at the paint funny? Hmmmm... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
