There were no stunts, no tricks, we just squeezed the accelerator. It did it like it was brushing its teeth.that's for the XR6T, you'd think they would turn the air con off for these tests. So without air con it should do 13.3

Ford_Power Member 798 Member For: 23y 6m 3d Posted 10/04/08 04:09 AM Posted 10/04/08 04:09 AM (edited) My only issue is that Drive gave the G6E Turbo the same times BASED on what the XR6T pulled. Now, normally this would be fine... only thing is that the G6E Turbo does not have an LSD??I would have liked to have seen them test the G6E Turbo on it's own instead of just using the same figures for the XR6T...

I would expect the G6ET to be heavier than the T as well, so likely a little slower.
