HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 6m 8d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 17/08/05 03:17 AM Share Posted 17/08/05 03:17 AM Silver 'rice' mesh would look good Sorry guys, don't like it one bit. If I was to go for one (depends on how good the 6 speed auto is, I'll be test driving one as soon as there is a XR6T available), oh well, I'd be sticking the BA XR/F6 replica bumper on it. Anyone seen if there are any differences in the end of the BF?

WTF!!!Dave.I agree with ya Dave... its a bit weak Rob...I would have thought they would have left the turbo alone and worked on the 8, I mean it's slower even now, it's just going to make difference between the T and 8 even worse!I can't wait to drive this new auto though!Dave.

The new T will be one nice car, it will have much better low down response. The use of the 6spd ZF box is miles ahead of any crap Expensive Daewoo currently use, good onya Ford. l am really keen to see what FPV come up with. l reckon the Boss will get independant VCT too leading to a big torque hike and negligible power increase. this fits with the rumours going around. The XR8 may then have its power hike revealed, one can only hope Wonder what date has been set for FPV to come clean, l am keen to see what they have come up with Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/19483-bf-falcon-info/page/3/#findComment-283495 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its doubtful but heres hoping!Looks like I'll be thrashing a new T from power ford in the near future once more.Oh and those fuel economy figures are unreal, if that truely is a representation of reality (remembering we own a mk1 Ghia) then when we upgrade I'll be one happy chappy... That is of course if I can't convince the financial supplier of the house (my old man) to get into a T....

The ZF Six Speed apparently has fewer parts and weighs less than the current BTR four speed!
