Member 2 Member For: 16y 5m 6d Posted 03/12/08 02:56 AM Share Posted 03/12/08 02:56 AM Hi guys, I couldn't find a thread similar so feel free to flame me if there is one hanging around....I'm hopefully going to be in the market in a month or two for a new daily driver that can cop some trackwork for a few giggles on the side. I'd like to get something near new, manual etc so im firmly looking at a BF MKII F6 or an FG XR6T (unfortunately the budget won't stretch to an FG F6 unless they crash or I get very lucky)Could anyone give me a hand comparing the 2 as the prices are starting to get comparable. In terms of figures they look pretty similar however the F6 having Brembo's seems to be a big plus. How does the F6 handle compared to the standard FG?Thanks in advance guys.

(Private road)From the dyno figures at the wheels from both cars I would suggest that the FG is quicker. But in saying this the BF F6 has the better brakes, FPV badging and other bits and pieces.I too went through the decision of which car to get and have been happy so far with my choice. I'm sure I would have been happy with a BF F6 too.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/52176-bf-mkii-f6-vs-fg-xr6t/#findComment-779961 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can live without the perks and the extra weight, plus I'd prefer a manual.
