Mate i dont know where you got your information from but VLs are not known for rusting you might be confused with a XD or XF...

Well maybe a tiny bit of rust under the rear rubber. anywayz this topic has gone from XR6T will own all ?? to rust on VLs and XDs. Lets get back to the topic.

agree dragya 351 your comments are not backed up with stats, you dont even own a Ford let alone comment on one

XR6T engine is a Escort rs2000 ? mm give me a xe esp 351 anyday or a xygt ho p2 THen again..i'll take my $7000 vl turbo...and go kill me a $60,000 xr6t... nice Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

we shall see in 20 years or so..but theres no chance the xr6t will ever compare to the vl calais turbo...vl's are in a league of there own..full stop.

VL's aren't known for rust ?? HAHA YEAH RIGHT Dude start a thread and ask what are some things to look for because i'm a retarded first VL buyer and don't know anything about them. I guarantee the first thing many people will say is rust. As for xr6t's I like the look and I like the power but the weight is gay. drove one the other day and fair enough it only had twenty six k's on the clock but i thought it was pretty slow. still, easy mods to get them going hard. how many times has this xr6 thread been done now ? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

XR6T? bah... My vl turbo is both faster and cooler, BECAUSE ITS A HOLDEN!

I think you'll find it's more due to the fact it's powered by a fully engineered Nissan Drivetrain; housed in a European designed chasis.

The xr6t is an awsome car, I can't wait until someone puts a bigger turbo on one.Steve at Redcliffe dyno has pulled 590rwhp with a standard turbo . There ain't to many stock turboed cars I know that can do that. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
