XR6Edge Member 6 Member For: 13y 9m 5d Posted 12/08/11 02:12 PM Share Posted 12/08/11 02:12 PM Hello everyone im new here but have been reading these forums for a while now.Yesterday I bought a brand new FG XR6 Turbo with the color Edge from the ford dealership down here in Hobart.I pick it up in september, Im upgrading from an FG XR6 50th Aniversary in the Nitro color I bought about this timelast year. I got the XR6 Turbo for a really good price $43,000 so it was really hard to resist getting it as thesecars are usally worth 55K and up.Just wondering what u think of my upgrade and what can I expect from my new Car? when I get itI will also be using the car to Tow a boat, it should have plenty enouph power for that.Cheers guys.

My XR50 towed the boat ok so this shouldnt have any issues I hope, the boat is only 500 Kg's not to heavy.
