Both with ZF.Price being near enough to the same and accepting that there will not be any mods at all.....which to buy?Experiences and advice welcome.

I wouldnt have the heart to rip the guts out of an F6 :o The BA project will be a thread in its own right but for now the task is to decide on what will become my daily driver. The other variable is mileage....I currently do about 40000km annually so perhaps that might impact of resale. The truth I will have to keep whichever car I buy for 3 years if I am going to fund the BA project.

BA2 F6 100k on it, 30-32 goin carsales I dunno if that's anythin to go on but a FG XR6T is gonna be worth nothing in 3 years just like current XR6Ts that are 3 years old
