hey guys ive been looking around at buying a newer car one i can just get in and drive evry day with no hassels.been looking more and more into xr6 turbos and also vt-vy ss's and vx clubbys etc found lots and lots of auto xr6 turbos on carsales going cheap as and alos found an 02 monaro for 20k and a couple vx clubbys around $14,000 im not one to realy buy something unles its a good deal. whats pros and cons on xr6 turbos and vx clubys and vy ss's i cant seem to find many manual xr6 turbos in a decent colour. any personal opinions of people who have owned or been in any?not just your opinion if your a one sided man whos never been in one.

hey mate, my uncle was in the same position as you a couple of weeks ago. he was tossing up between a xr6t and a vz clubby. he ended up getting a clubby from my work and he hasnt looked back. xr6t's try to take him on all the time and he choppes em with out breaking a sweat. but the end of the day its your dosh, so go for a spin in all that your considering and make up YOUR own mind. hope this helps mate cheers Jake

You're better off getting the Holden. Cheap manual XR6 Turbo = T5 5 speed box made of glass and Chinese product's, meaning easily breakable under power.

I've been in a xr6t, i was disapointed Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I think alot of the HSV's are way over priced for what you get. In saying that though I would prefer one over an XR6 due to the XR being plain and the HSV being more up market. You can get a VY-VZ SS for the price of a VT clubsport! You'd go the newer model any day. The only reason I wouldnt go an XR is because my dad has a BF XR6 ute and it is the worst car to drive. The interior is plain grey and there is just nothing really nice about them. Go to a car yard and take one of each for a spin and make up your own mind though... you're the one who has to live with it and enjoy it, not me!

XR6 turbo's make about 180 to 190 stock (dyno tuned heaps of these things) factory injectors run out about 230-240 factory valve springs are only good for 11 psi factory intercooler is good for 220-230. any more and you are just cooking the air. Factory engine good for 320 SAFE BF or Typhoon have stronger rods and good for 350 SAFE. factory auto will support 280 then you loose gears, ( i know my R&D car just lost 2nd and 4th) factory diffs and drive shafts are made of play dow (will live if driven with love) cant run fuel tank under half if you intend on racing it or putting a fuel system on it. (fuel surge by 3rd gear if tank too low. (I know idiots will say they run higher boost and make more power on stock injectors..... I am talking SAFE TUNE and boost that doesn't pump the lifters after 1 pull on the dyno. VT I wouldnt get. VX to VY factory make about 180-195kws tune 220 to 230 tune and exhaust 240-250 intake tune exhaust 260 ish factory injectors and fuel system will support 300kw at wheels heads and cam will see 300 PD blower will see about 320-350 single turbo on 8 psi will see 380 ish on an un opened engine factory auto will support 300 I tune these cars all day, I like bang for buck. I recently purchased a WK Caprice. Each to their own.

thanx guys it is interesting to see what peoples experiences are with both. it would be between vx clubby vyss or xr6t its interesting to see on carsales a few vz ss's have come down in the under $20,000 mark from what i have seen on carsales and other sites i could getinto the following from $15,000 xr6t and also vx clubby from around $17,000 but not r8 found this vx clubby $13,900 auto 120ks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Just remember though you're looking at breaking into the basement models for your money. You're going to be getting the dreggs (There are bargains to be had but just talking in general). eg: You can get an XR6T for 17k, or you can get a high km thrashed one for 14k.

Definitely get the XR6T!!! You won't look back!! Honestly. Everyone knows the are they are the next cult car along with the VLT's. If you want a XR6T definitely go the BF over BA and make sure its BF after 06/06 as it has the stronger internals and not to forget the 6 speed auto which can handle 400 rwkw factory.. btw bf valve springs dont have to be changed, another bonus...yes the ba v/springs are weak but cannot honestly go past a bf! Gl with your decision anyways...

Get a BF XR6T.. I'm running 305rwkw in my BA with standard valve springs but thats just my car, dont think any other BA's have run the same power with standard valve springs. And with the BF you'll be able to run 350rkw + without having to worry about your auto blowing. If you want power at a cheaper price get the XR6T

as said above.. XR6T are cheap power.. with a hiflow K&N filter and a tune they already jump to the 230/240atw mark.. the change cat = 250/260 thats onlly 2 mods and a tune
