The majority of XR6s Ive seen are just the standard types. I probably see 2 XR6s to every XR6T.

[fpv_gtho]

well i probably see about 4 XR6's to XR6T's, but theyre still selling like hotcakes. in my area theres actually more XR8's than XR6T's and the XR8's arent selling too good because of the XR6T

[Falcon500]

Well itllprobly be an easy 6 to 1 for Xr6ts to XR6s but we have quite afew GTs and ever since the new model came out ive never seen so many AU XRs and T seris in my life! we even have a few pursuit 250 AUs getting around.

[fpv_gtho]

so thats where theyre all going!!!!!

ive only ever seen one Pursuit 250, they were a limited run of 250 units. they were too overpriced, just like the new Pursuit.

[Falcon500]

Wellfunny you say over priced they put it up against a similar HSV special eddition and even eith all the trimmings it was cheaper and faster too. (the pursuit)

[fpv_gtho]

well, consider that the XR6T is 1K cheaper than the XR8 and then the XR8 is 15K cheaper than the Pursuit, somethings up, when theres 5K difference between the XR6T and XR8 and 10K difference between the XR8 and GT

i think that was a CSV that it was compared to, and the tester was saying it had a better exhaust note compared to the Pursuit which i think was a first for a holden product with the Gen 3, it also had 15kw more

[Falcon500]

Well their still good cars. And possibly it could be like the origonal GTs ford lost money on them but made back with the rub off effect.
And the CSV was more epensive had lees torque and was slower.

[fpv_gtho]

i dont see how a 265kw CSV could be slower than a ute that ran slower than a normal AU3 XR8

[Falcon500]

Just luck proably when holden used tomake special edition they used to be absolute whales! they suremade the T serieslook fairly light.

[fpv_gtho]

CSV though, theyre a privately run company, the last holden special ive heard of would either be the XU-8 or SV99

[Falcon500]

the sv99 that was a true whale it was as heavy as a GT!

[fpv_gtho]

and still only 195kw

[Falcon500]

Yeah funny how in need for speed it had everything over the much lighter and 185 kw xr8

[fpv_gtho]

that mightve been the computer version that had the SV99, but on PSX it was the GTS with the 220KW stroker motor. still totally fake if i could kill it in expert mode in the XR8

[Falcon500]

Well the computer had the stroker version too stat wise its suior in nearlyevery way despite its weight of like 1850 kilos to the xr8s 1550. i think power to weight would play a fair bit there...
