If this is in the wrong area then my apologies and if it can be moved to the right topic that would be awesome!

I'll start off by introducing myself.

I'm George. 22 Years old. Do what most kids my age do, aka Video Games, Gym, few hobbies here and there.

I use to dislike XR6's. They grew on me though, to the point that the FG models are looking so damn sexy I'm tempted to take out a loan haha.

Now I've been reading into these for a bit now and my aim is to get a nice car for 5 or so years till I have enough to buy the Ford Mustang they are planning on releasing (don't judge me hahah)

So far, I've been looking at the XR6T FG since I've seen them for about $20k odd or so. Some of them are modded, while others aren't.
I wouldn't mind the FG MKii but most of them Second hand are looking at $10k more for some interior and new front bumper!

I'm looking at some mods for the FG XR6T but mostly just things to make sure that the boost won't destroy the car (aka, fuel pump, injectors, valve springs and intercooler). Might get an exhaust as well to make me jizz myself each time it revs. But those mod's are generally what I've read up on to make sure that the FG can take a bit of a hit without overstressing the stock parts.

Now, If I did want to go MKii, I'm not too sure if I should just skip it and buy a F6 310 instead. Also, is there anything I should be looking at when buying XR6T's or F6's that would let me know that they have been thrashed too much?

tdlr;

XR6T FG with some mods or MKii vs F6 310.

Also, How much would it cost to get it sprayed? Personally I love just the Orange or Green but would settle for White as well.

Cheers

George

can you afford a FG F6?

A second hand one maybe. Seen a couple for mid to high $30's, which are around the same for a MKii FG. Honestly but, I don't know if I should bother or not?

If I was in your shoes I'd just get the xr6t or g6et. The mk2 as you said isn't really worth the extra and an F6 id get if I was gonna keep the car and not sell it.

Get a nice low km xr6t or g6et, max out the little turbo and wait for the stang.

Thanks Mika!

The mkii grill looks ghey anyway

Bypass the XR6T mate a get yourself a G6ET seen some for around the low to mid 20's..........all class my friend.

Angel knows what's up

I've seen g6et for 18k now

They are getting crazy cheap

Only thing is I don't really want an Auto. Prefer the control from a manual better! Just preference I guess.

The ZF is a better option with the T mate a very good gear box.
