Hi ya, I've got an '04 XR6T sedan auto. Goes like crazy and tunable to the hilt (but I haven't touched mine yet) Handling is strong and I don't even think of getting into trouble in the wet. The standard SP3000 (17") are much better than you'll find on standard Falcons etc... If u want, you could always upgrade the tyres at purchase/delivery time - I thought about it but didn't and don't regret sticking with the SP3000. Basiscally, the car hangs on pretty well. However, as you know, be stupid and the laws of physics will take control out of your hands and it those of the gods. The traction control helps if you do something silly. I haven't had any problems/scares at all in the wet. The only scare I gave myself was chasing down a Expensive Daewoo on some back roads down here and finding I was doing 180 kays as I was about to overtake - just gotta watch the right foot! Get the T, you'll find it a great all round family car and great fun 4 you too.
