so anyway iv got to get rid of the EL xr6t to make way for a ute for work and fun purposes as well

lookin at probly a mk2 xr6t or xr8 6speed manual

wots fuel economy going to be like with say:

xrt6 probly with edit axhaust n cooler cai

xr8 probly just headers exhaust edit n ca

take this as driving reasonable with a bit of fun here n there. I imagine they would b about the same???

wont be taking mods to the extream as im gettin a bike to take care of that

I was thinkin more the 8. good 4 crusing and v8 rumble

are the v8's becoming cheaper to get than the xr6t?

looking to spend around 25000 - 35000 ....resonable?

yeah depends on the price km etc.

gota sell my car 1st though

Mate go the 6T.

I had a BA XR8, sold it and brought an 07 T.

A 6T with the mods you want, will be very nice.

Believe me, you won't give a crap about V8 rumble, while you trying to hold on to a 6T that delivers over 700NM of torque at 3000RPM.

Just my 2 cents

Worst traffic in Melbourne. Full on stop start.

Average Speed 23km/h

Manual BA XR8 (stock) = 21 L/100k's

Auto BFII XR6T (Modded to 305 RWKW) = 17.5 L/100k's

dude, it's a very personal thing... I had a BA turbo, sold it and bought an XR8 ute.

the XR8 is slower, but more fun in my opinion.

your best idea is to go and drive both and make up your OWN opinion.

well said, here is a comparison on the BF 06 6sp SA range:

I know those figures are run in a perfect world scenario but it gives you some idea on what you can expect on price and economy etc

Try and test drive a modded T and 8 if possible cause theres a big difference than stock, and bang for your buck.
