just wondering, whether to buy a BA XR6 and add mods or to buy a BA XR6T stock? which would be a better bet? could adding mods to the XR6 get it up with the XR6T?

as good as the T is is, you cant go past the stallwart of the BA range the ever popular XR6 N/A sure they are far more common thatn the T , but they have from what ive read hold better resale value, they can be a 14s car with minor mods, and really you save a bit of $$$ on insurance, if you want a go fast car to be mr traffic lights and get serious fast, then yes buy a T. If you want something that will get you around and quick enough then the N/A version will do just fine, plenty of good deals going on xr6's too at the mo'
just my opinion. |

hahahah F6. LOL
Naaa id go the XR6t BUT you can never go past the nice sound of a V8. All comes doew to what you are willing to pay and what you are going to do. No point having a XR6t and all you do is drive in traffic all day.

XR6 Turbo for sure....
They are really hot cars. The N/A should be parked on Oxford street with the other pretend men. I reckon they are Holdens version of a Gen3. Easy to make friggin good power from.

if you want a n/a just save your money and buy a xt. Quote: I reckon they are Holdens version of a Gen3
you gotta be joking, the only thing you can compare between a xr6t and a gen3 is that their both vehicles, apart from that xr6t is a much better and faster car(not to mention way better if your willing to modify it).

XR6T = gen III?

GenIII's are easy to make power, yes, but only to around 240rwkw, thats the most i've seen out of a GENIII before massive money was spent. My mate has spent well into $16,000 (thats trade prices too) to make 300rwkw out of his genIII VT, NA. 300rwkw is an easyily acheivable power figure with a T without spending alot of money

Sorry, I'm allergic to one eyed s**t. Try less than 10k for a head, cam and exhaust package for 300+rwkw. |

mate.. spend 10 grand on a ba xr6t and your running an easy 350rwkw. and the only part a xr6t has been changed in the motor is the valve springs. so i think the xr6t will do the job mate... dont need anything else

yeah and how long does your gearbox last. the commo v8 running a 6 speed manual will always be stronger. |
