mwalmsley83 Member 3 Member For: 11y 9m 15d Posted 09/07/12 11:07 PM Share Posted 09/07/12 11:07 PM Hi,Just about to place an order for one of the above. Manual. This weekAlthough happy to spend the extra on the F6, been looking at the performance figures. F6 seems to be performing only a bees dick of difference between XR6T? Those who have driven both, do the F6 genuinely feel considerably the faster car in standard trim? Ive only driven the XR6 Turbo and was impressed (haven't had a chance to drive F6, only an auto was available). Made the SS feel like a slug,,,Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller turbo of the xr6/g6e is much better for street use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably still have money leftover imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't buy a new one. Low km 2010 can be had for under 37 on carsales. 2008's for under 33.Pretty good deals if you consider how much they cost new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
