JamieB Member 58 Member For: 11y 6m 2d Posted 25/05/15 10:26 AM Share Posted 25/05/15 10:26 AM hi,looking to upgrade from my current ba xr6t to an fg, I am mostly interested in a g6et or xr50 t but not sure what the differences really are?is it just bodykit , diff and suspension?does the 50th anniversary edition just mean it had g6e interior?I dont really want to spend over $20k so I realize it could be a squeeze,is there any other model that can supply the premium interior and leather seats would be a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F6E hahahaMajor mechanical difference is single spinner diff in the G6ET as you mentioned. Would that bother you?If not either of the two will be fine, but I'm not sure on the difference in the interior. Is the XR50 a copy of the G6ET? Or are seats firmer/sportier?Gege6 here has a 50th G6ET, smells awesome with the leather products he uses. I'd hate sliding around on the seats though when hammering corners.

I would say that's about the only down side to the G.If I was you take both for test drive then make your mind up then go shopping. Good Times!!

(sorry Don)Could also look for the Limited Edition models (in addition to the XR50T) - I think they had leather and a couple of other bits - I know the MKII LE's did, am tipping the earlier ones would have as well.And also keep your eyes open for optioned up base model XR6T's - plenty of people added leather, wheels, premium sound, tow packages etc to their "base model" turbo. Adding all the options to the new car doesn't seem to reflect in a much higher used sale price.For the $20k you'd open up your options by searching for your must haves (leather, premium sound, wheels etc), rather than just a 50 or a G.

You will love this feature if your short missus{like mine) drives it as well. They are a biatch to get working in a car that didn't have it as well as the memory is tied to ignition keys as well. So it's more involved than swapping seat bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
