Don't forget mate, that an XR6 is based on the Futura

I got best of both worlds!... V8 power, and Luxury...
To be honest, i think Power Front windows is the only difference between a GLi and a Futura... anyone elce know any differences? Maybe Driver Airbag?... a GLi has that though doesnt it?..

Yeah Futura and XR got: * Clock (YAY!!!) * ABS * Extra guages * Electric front windows I'm pretty sure the variable wipers were an across the board thing... Cruise is optional on both. But yeah, the only diff that people give a s**t about is the power fronts

What extra gauges, one thing i noticed when i first got into my Fairmont, is there are Oil pressure gauges, and Battery Charge... my Futura didnt have those.
Mine did have cruise control.. that is standard on Futura's isnt it?... The only reason i bought the Futura, is because it was V8...

Larger injectors, aftermarket ECU, Extractors 2.25" exhaust... and a bunch of little s**t... had about 105 - 110kw at the fly.. so probably around 85 -95kw at the wheels.
