stewroberto New Member 2 Member For: 7y 1m 3d Posted 12/03/18 12:15 PM Share Posted 12/03/18 12:15 PM I have an option of 2 cars im incredibly stuck on... 2008 FPV f6 with 100,000km ($26,000) or 2015 FGX xr6 turbo with 50,000km ($30,000) The FPV f6 will retain a lot of its value and its already modified a bit and making 300rwkw (about $2500 worth of mods), and it has brembo brakes and simply the FPV badge. Where as the FGX is the newer car, under warranty, and its just a fresh new car that not many people have atm. And I really do love the new FGX front design with the lights. Where as the fpv's have been around for a while now and every person has modded them and stuff, so I can be a bit more original and stand out more in the fgx? I have driven both and they both drive really well. Just unsure which one to buy. I do plan on keeping the car for a while. Just wondering of the 10 year old FPV is too old now, and whether its 'smarter' tobuy the new car despite it being much more subtle than the FPV. Eventually I will modify both and want them to stand out as much as possible. So torn apart help!!!!!!!!!

F6 has bigger turbo to start..... Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93765-fpv-f6-vs-fgx-xr6-turbo/#findComment-1653680 Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewroberto New Member 2 Member For: 7y 1m 3d Posted 13/03/18 12:56 AM Author Share Posted 13/03/18 12:56 AM is the FGX worth the extra $4 grand to go slower and be less equipped but it is then a newer car Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93765-fpv-f6-vs-fgx-xr6-turbo/#findComment-1653691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the bigger turbo which is capable of close to 500rwkw. The little boy (baby turbo) runs out of puff.....
