Despite having no LSD...I seriously don't notice it ever.......it stills smokes both wheels at will and if you have TC on its never an issue anyway. I've heard lots of owners saying the same thing so not sure what's the go really!

Cross shop dealers and screw them hard on a price for a G6ET. They must be desperate to move anything Falcon atm.
Don't believe the "you're already getting a discount" line, that discount comes out of Fords end, not the dealers, so they must have some wriggle room in their margins I would think. |

Awesome mate, how much was it in the end? White is by far the best colour in G6ET

Our G6ET was the best car I have ever owned. The Terry Titanium that replaced it is more practical when you load it with 3 bikes, luggage and a 3+hour trip for a quick weekend getaway but I will never forget the first time I pulled out to overtake on the highway in a dedicated overtaking lane and before I knew it I had passed 6 cars, in a few eye blinks in complete safety.. it happened to also be my birthday as I had taken delivery 2 days earlier.........Luxury, full 5 seater with killer performance in a classy body....a recipe made in heaven at a price that will never be repeated.

I walked out pretty much feeling ashamed for being a "falcon buyer". Now I've got my heart set on a white G6ET after missing out on that one.... But it seems a trip to Brisbane dealers might be the best option. Having a budget range that most demo G6ET's go for (apart from white goddammit), I can't afford to look at brand,brand new this year lol. Congrats Struggo, they are the ultimate sleeper and pick of the non-FPV's!!

I'm going against the grain by saying I'm sick of mine after 5 months. Sure the turbo rush is fun for a while as well are the neat gadgets but its all really old technology now compared to the rest of the market. I'm missing the aggressive looks and character that come with the XR series instead of the sterile looks of the G series.
My 2c only. |

lol why would it be quicker? With all the extra kit it's heavier. If anything they're the same. I test drove the pants of a G6ET and my XRT is equally as quick. They'll all vary though, usually around the 230rwkw mark though no matter what you choose. The LSD is good in a way but can be clunky.
good on ya Struggo, i would have gone a G6ET but didn't want to climb up and into the 40K mark, but the XRT puts a big smile on my face every time i drive it. It's the only car i've owned that i can't stop thinking about going and taking it for a pointless drive every 5 minutes. |

In the end I picked it up for $44,600 DA has I had the following included, •Tinted Windows •Tow Bar (1600kg) •Slimline Weather Shields •Car Mats (Front & Back) •Full Size Spare (Matching Alloy) I know you can save on the tint elsewhere but its the convenience of picking it up and shes good to go. |

the engines are identical, they both use a smaller turbo than the BF range, and both do 0-100 in 4.9 to 5.1 depending on the test type.
