Minux G6ET

[minux]

Sooo, wrx was sadly sold Few reasons for selling it, mainly due to long trips and my rooted back not liking it too much...as soon as I can afford it, will be buying one again as a weekender.

Anywho, only have crappy iphone pic of car until I can organise to shoot it one evening.

Decided on this after test driving new calais V, a VW and a coupe of other cars. Seriously...how holden can charge so much for a calais is beyond me...the G6E is a league above it in drive and interior finish, as well as lack of BOX looks. The 200km old calais v i drove was already suffering from interior rattles...sad..the VY/Z Calais' where such nice cars.

Nice, was that CSP's?

Dunno what you hope to acheive by bagging out commdoores on here though.

CSP's? CSP had a G6ET? Interesting, first I knew about it.

Bagging out commodores? Didn't bag it out, spoke from an experience. Know the difference?

Just a tune and intake i think, maybe a brake upgrade, LSD was placed in it prior to delivery, dont really need much more.

[old mate]

are these things underbraked like commodores?

Umm, havent really tested them, they seem a bit firmer under foot than the VE I drove, I would dare say though they are a little underbraked. I just like the safety bigger brakes can offer

Awesome car mate! Looking forward to the trip next weekend... Will be way more comfy than the WRX.

Only mod I'd recommend cosmetically is the black headlights as per the G6... Will tone down the front end "bling" look.

Hahahaha!!! No mine's an XR50T. Same drivetrain as in minux's G6ET since he had the LSD installed before delivery... And like him, speaking from experience with the Holden offerings, as well as having owned an R36 Passat, the Ford is without question the best value for money in terms performance, fit/finish, quality and (imo - because styling is subjective) styling.

Calais V, even with a V8 in it, can't keep up or compete on any level with the G6ET except for it's projector headlights and flexible blade wipers. The ONLY two things that let the Ford down.

are these things underbraked like commodores?

Yes. The Brembo package offered on the Redline series from Holden is where these cars should be as a baseline, with optional upgrades. They're adequate, but going from my HSV and my R36, they were noticeably weaker in the Ford. But The standard Holden kits isn't any better. At least they now have Brembos available.
