Duffill New Member 9 Member For: 9y 1m 2d Posted 21/03/15 02:10 AM Share Posted 21/03/15 02:10 AM HelloI'm about to buy either a G6ET or XR6T in about 5 months time. Considering they're the same price, which one would you choose and WHY? Also, is the G6ET slower than the XR6T to 100km/hr because the lack of LSD? From what I have gathered on other sites, there is not much of a difference.. but the only difference is racing around a track and hanging 'better skids'.- PS, I don't intend on racing around a track or skidding, so would LSD really make that much of an impact in everyday driving? I would give it a go if a Expensive Daewoo SS/GTS or anything else tried to overtake me though. Thaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want an Auto or a Manual? Manual XR only Auto Both.I have a G6ET becuase I like to look and I got more options in the G6ET that are standard and an extra in the XR.If I was to buy again I stll would go with a G6ET much nice ride. Let us know what you get and remember we want pics.EDIT - stock you have no chance against a GTS. Edited 21/03/15 02:33 AM by Pixy Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently drive a NA BA.Manual or Auto?I know the G6ET come only in manual, but since the ZF is a killer of a gearbox and is smoother and faster then I think I'll go auto. What lets down the G6ET? just the bigger brakes/lack of LSD? Edited 21/03/15 02:41 AM by Duffill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given a majority of us change the suspension, xr's included. Its hardly a selling point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
