crazyxa Member 84 Member For: 18y 3m 16d Posted 14/02/11 01:07 AM Share Posted 14/02/11 01:07 AM Hi all,Looking for some feedback from the G6ET community as am considering a G6ET for day to day family duties, driven predominately by the wife.My questions stems from a mate of mine owning an FG XR6T auto which I find it too taily. It would be fine for me however would no doubt be too scary for the wife in the wet. Question. Is the G6ET is more subdued / tame in its DSC calibration? Eg. not as eager step out like the XR6T.I am hoping it is more tame due to the no LSD factor.Thanks,Pat Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73264-g6et-ok-for-the-wife/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillz Three pedals are better then two..

I would not let let the missus drive the car in the wet at all LSD or no LSD. Maybe the single spinners are a little more user friendly but IMO to much power for the family daily. Save yourself a bucket load of coin and just buy a G6E.

It not like your going to be using the cars peak power at 1/4 throttle.

We did a Melb to Syd drive mostly in the rain and she was fine for the few hours she drove.Just leave the traction control on, its set up to work with the open diff, and works very well.
