hey guys iv finally saved inaff cash to buy a nice base to start working on iv always loved the shape of the vy ss ute when there low in the ass with 19s ect (black) but then again the xr6 turbos are ment to be weapons from what iv been told from people at my work ect witch is the better choice . (sorry if this has been ask 1000 times just wanted to ask other people for info , iv also been told the xr6t is abit of a let down as the gearbox's are crap after the 280-300rwk mark iv got basicly $20,000 to play with.(+ more from each pay ect

ba xr6t. thats what i'd do hands down. just a mint car to drive. its hard to compare the 5.7l to the 4.0t as they are very different so it depends what you want but i'd go xr6t for sure.

There was a thread on this not long ago, it basically comes down to personal preference as there seems to be pros and cons with both cars Heres the thread http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showth...hlight=VY+XR6T (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=163116&highlight=VY+XR6T)

I personally like the holden interiors better, and the LS1 isnt a bad engine.. but its got nothing on the ford 4ltr when modified. If it was a VZ 6ltr Id go that.. but Id go the 4ltr Turbo over the older 5.7ltr.

If you can get a BF XR6T with the 6speed auto cheap thats probably the best option

I was in the same position and today i put a deposit on a ba mkII xr6 turbo 6 speed manual prem sound hard lid leather seats 20's pick it up this week Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

xr6t hands down

easy the xr6t, in a couple years i'll be getting an fg xr6t ute

xr6t without a doubt

^^^ black ute says it all next year, i'll be getting a new car... E36 M3 or XR6T leaning towards the XR6 though

i had the same problem when i was looking to get a ute, i mostly wanted something i could tow with. XR6 good points was the auto'd had a 2600kg towing capacity.( but the manual is only 1600kg) heaps of room behind the seats, and little more leg room no scrubbing out back tyres cos of live axle SS- more torgue down low.. Back looks better better on fuel on hiway 9-10L ---xr6 11-12L hundred so yea i went xr6t 05 model havent had one problem with it at all. i've done 60,000 in it now

BF ZF 6spd, de-bung exhaust, cappa flash box, injectors will smash a Ls1 without a doubt
