If only one, which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DZ. Guests Posted 05/11/02 04:10 AM Share Posted 05/11/02 04:10 AM I wasnt given the choice to choose any.. :( or which one did I prefer. Guess you'll be getting the traction control then. Well, I suppose that's one of the benefits of holding off on the order - you guys are finding out all of the problems in advance Maybe you could tell them that you weren't advised of the choice given that the literature says that it comes with both - and get them to change it for you.

I scoff at the thought. B) I just checked the specs and LSD is standard fare on the Turbo Ute and traction control is not offered at all. So you'll not get any surprises upon delivery and will (I'm sure) be very happy. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to my contact (who works for FOMOCO) and have been told 100% the XR6 Turbo comes with both LSD and Traction Control and so does the XR8.The XR6 standard has optional LSD but no option of traction control. :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was told that by FPV nearly 3 weeks back, then last week they contacted me and withdrew this information, claiming that both are "standard options" but you can't have both on the same car! that's why I posted this thread so that when the deliveries start happening I can get the truth from a reliable source - an owner.
