Yellow VL...who would have guessed....

The VE SS is tipped to have a 5.3L V8 in it. The LS2 6L will be solely for use in the HSV models as the SS was coming too close to the Clubsport in terms of performance. Good to see the utes are getting TCS for the first time.

Oh I think there is potential to let a few japs tinker with the turbo. I'm sure they would be impressed with the car and its potential

Thanks, you all have been loads of help. Are the sports leather the same as the regular seats but just different fabric / leather? Or do they do a better job of holding your arse on the seat??

Well the dealer thinks Nov. I think Oct and have made this clear to them. So now they have to pull the finger out. I am thinking Rapid or Blaze. But yet to see blaze. And I sold my old ride last week so I am car less now. I call for Ford to release exact details. They must be waiting for something.

If that is the case then someone needs to send a few XRT to the land of the rising sun. Would be interesting what the japanese could achieve with these cars. Is the HKS unit the same?

Has anyone tried using a Power FC or other such japanese computers (can't remember the name of the HKS unit) with the Barra240??? I was thinking of giving this a go but am not sure if this is possible? Anyone had any experience with this? Or am I just being stoopid?

It should. I think it is about the same length as the 4.1 six. Width isn't a problem. Someone on here should have dimensions for the Barra240 or can get a tape measure out.

Thanks for quick reply. Hmm I like the look of that. Sold!

Ok. Got the following quote BA Mk 2 XR6 Turbo Ute 6 speed manual :o Prestige paint Sports leather interior Colour coded hard cover Sports steering wheel Driveaway for $44,100 GST inclusive (this is approx price but likely to be close to final price). So do you think this is a good price and should I be trying a little harder? Don't think I can knock off much more than I have already got as it is a Mk2. Any other options worth considering? Don't know if premium brakes are worth $3K so wont get those. Cheers. :o

Hi All. Did a search but came up with nothing. What I am after are pictures of: - The sports steering wheel (not the momo) which retails for $695. Is the steering wheel worth the extra dollars? - Pictures of the sports leather seats found in the XR6 Turbo Ute which retail for $1,495. Are the options to get the bubble ones and ones without bubbles?? Cheers. Just trying to work out the options on my Mk2.

Could the low price be something to do with it being a turbo and the potential for it being thrashed??? This may be in the mind of potential second hand buyers. It is a performance car after all and isn't that why we buy these type of cars? Not that I am saying all our cars are not well maintained but I think it is part of owning a performance car! It may be hard to sell once you need to replace it. Just my 2 cents

That's it. Looks good me thinks.

That one looks like a custom spray. I saw an XR8 in rapid and it look sweet. Rapid is little more yellow than that one.

As the topic says, what are your thoughts on XR6T Ute in Rapid. Thinking of this colour. Others I am considering is envi and shockwave. Will also have a colour coded hard cover. I think it will look pretty good. A few well placed black stripes might do the trick also. Anyone got pics of a ute in rapid, envi and shcokwave??? I know rapid is not out but there was a pic floating around. Cypher... Is it :locked: or :locked: ?
