Mate the XR6 Turbo is gonna be awesome damn thing runs a GT40 turbo at 6psi and it trails off in the higher rev range. Just add bleed valve exhaust and make sure it gets fuel gonna scare a lot of people.

I'm lonnnnnnnnng over the whole Holden vs Ford thing, I think. We own a Holden VT Berlina Wagon - Which we chose simply because the VT was a better car than the AU (in our opinion). Ford fucked up with the AU, i think they've noticed it, and now they're back with the BA. From what i've seen of the BA i'm quite impressed. Holden have fucked up, this time around. The front and back ends do not match the rest of the body in any way, you can tell that the body is still VT styles. Very dissapointed with Holdens efforts this time around, and it seems HSV couldn't even make it look decent. Oh well. I'd still take a '97 180SX over a Falcoon or Commonwhore though, Any day of the week :)

yeah ! the xr6turbo was here at work for the past couple of days and everyones been havin a fang at it...

xr6 = 240kw at 6psi. what a beast with 400+ Nm of torque.
with exhaust mods + cooler and 1 bar of boost, this thing will fly...

a nice family pocket rocket car... :)
i would still prefer the rex though... :P

naaaa actually s15 rule... :D

Personally i think the XR6 will demolish the s15's with the same mods. They already run quicker from factory :o I WANT ONE!
