So, any advice on how I tell the wife....

'Well darling, you know how I bought an XR6 18 months ago then changed to XR8 12months ago, then spent all that money on it and I know you're driving a 13 year old Toyota.........'

Wish me luck

Do what I did, after having my BF MK1 F6 Typhoon for only 4 months and wanting a new SP Ute, I just gave the F6 to the wife. She was so happy with it that she didn't care what I bought. :danceforme:

Regards Bob

On the verge of an O, she's bound to push your face back down and you take that as yes honey, do what you want, but don't stop now.

Test drive on Tuesday.

Will test an XR6T straight after.

Hoping the F6 will blow my socks off compared to my XR8 (232rwKw) or it will be the supercharger option instead. Which was the original plan.

(Waits for XRQTR to post ;-) )

I did a similar test drive a few years ago, drove the NA BA XR6, then the XR6T and straight after a VZ SS (all autos). I couldn't believe how much of a POS the big V8 was.

When it came time to upgrade the BA I took a BF 6spd Auto XR6T for a drive and then the Typhoon. The XR6T is a great car but the Typhoon will blow you away, it's just that little bit better again.

The latest Wheels Mag does a comparo with the Typhoon against the VE HSV R8. I haven't read the whole article yet but the end result was 3.5 stars for Typhoon and 4 for the R8. Not bad for a little Aussie built turbo six hey.

That was the biggest POS article I have ever read! Typhoon VS HSV GTS, not comparing apples with apples.

But they recon the GT or GT-P wouldnt stand a chance so the phoon was the best option. :spoton:

And they didn't even use a phoon with a ZF they picked a manual! I'm sure wheels are partly owned by Expensive Daewoo :spoton:
