    The new BA's look better then the VZ's IMO.. I would seriously consider buying one, especially because of the tiptronic transmission. We had one as a rental car, it was absolutely awesome..

    The tiptronic and the mad colour would coerce me to buy a BA instead of the VZ. Different story if Holden had a tiptronic though.

    yeah BA's all the way, i mean its would be one of the only fords that i would be happy to loose to :P i bet countless AU's and so on they are piss slow, but the BA MMmm. i was at the holden and ford performance car show in sydney about 2 months ago and there was the bigest sleeper BA u will ever see, stock looking but under the wheels you got 550rwhp!! the closest hoden that came second was a twinturbo monaro with only produced 450rwhp , it just goes to show what a good engine dose *straight six*

    ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS READ THIS:

    Right a lot of you have been following this thread. A lot of you will also notice you have posts missing. The reason for this is because I deleted them. This thread has been very controversial with everyone arguing over whether members should be allowed to post cars other than commodores.

    Admin have made a verdict and members are allowed to post their cars regardless of make or model. So all arguement debate etc about this topic is to cease immediately here. If you have an issue with this please contact admin by email. Garth has already warned that people who persist in posting this type of nonsense will be bannned. I suggest you take his warning seriously, because after spending about an hour of my time deleting no less than 42 posts (4 pages) about this I will not hesitate to delete users rather than posts.

    definitely definitely should have the 6 speed auto chucked in there the 4 speed just doesnt do it for that car. they go so much better with the 6 speed

    guys, its a car that has ford on it, stop calling the car sh!t and appreciate its good points.

    its a XR6T, they will rip at least half the cars on here, mine for one.

    they have great economy and makes stock
    Maximum power
    240kW @ 5250rpm
    Maximum torque
    450Nm @ 2000rpm (according to some website, can't remember now)

    do how about we all appreciate its good points and stop being so negative

    I wouldn't go a BA, I'd definately go a BF. Looks are similar, though the ZF gearbox is much better. If wanting to make it much faster you'd definately go a ZF, My brother has a 300kw BA turbo, and he's had some problems with the gearbox, at 80,000kms....

    Definately go the BF with the ZF gearbox

    Nonetheless, beautiful looking car mate, love it

    I'd rather a 2087 xr 20 thousand with the optional 30 speed and antimatter core. 0-1 light year in 0.245 milliseconds

    Sweet car mate, my next ride I'm saving for will probably be an FG XR6 Turbo, if not an FPV F6.
