ah shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit......from hsv to f6 to xr6t lol but mate imho you made the best decision by far!! car is half the price of the f6 it has the old f6 motor, you spend 2k on that motor and you will have 350kw+++atw. you have any question about modding ask ive been involved with my mate doing up his ba and his mates bf. his making 380hpatw other one making 490hp atw manual or auto? both equally as good, if manual only prob you will have is clutch when you get up near the 300kwatw mark. auto handles anything. the xr6t forum are hardcore, you will think your car is the fastest ever.....until you go on a cruise with them lol elite where we went for the dyno that time is one of the best tuners too dude
