Was it just a XT or something?

[EA2BA]

I want a 6speed auto conversion, it is so tempting

[Dezza]

The BA is an awesome car. I haven't driven a BF so I can't comment, but the BA certainly makes the EA feel like a dinosaur

[K_Man]

Yeah, i had a quick drive of a BF XT my mate had rented. Even with the 4 speed, feels like driving a Rolls compared to the ED.

[fast gt]

i have a ba and an eb i feel like i should wear a paper bag on my head while driving my eb cos my ba is so much better

[vegabass]

Well I dont mean to brag but I have driven a FPV BF SP 6 Speed manual
mmmmmmm and then her other car ...the BA GT mmmmmm and yes her AU as well :

[fast gt]

off of fords ive driven a 355 ferrari a 328 a lotus esprit turbo 2 rollers and a 96 500sl :

The quickest car I've been in is a modded vt gts, scared the ИИИИИ out of me on long third gear corners. I love the roar of the engine too, it has a twin 3 inch with pace makers and hi-flow cats.

I've never been in a ba or bf though, anyone wanna take me for a drive? :P

When the prices drop a bit I wouldn't mind upgrading to something that

[2kool4u]

I swear you see more NA XR6's than you do XT's around here (Cairns) I sopse though if your buying a brand new car you may as well spend the extra $5000 and get an XR6, cause they're sexy and go like stink.

I thought the 6 speed auto was only Avaliable on the xr6turbo/ and v8's , My olds went and got a Bf Xr6 ute and were told it wasnt availiable as an option unless it was a turbo.. That might just be the utes though or the dealer was full of ИИИИ

[vegabass]

My Brothers M3 scares the crap out of me! especially when he changes into 6th gear at 235kmph

According to the Ford site, only XR6 Turbo, XR8 and Fairmont Ghia are available with the 6 speed auto (LWB and FPV models excepted).

[LUXO_8]

i can get pics if you like........ its most certainly a non turbo XR6 and it most certainly has the 6 speed auto.....

[Jason[98.EL]]

def a 6 speed auto and def not turbo

[naughtyfalcon]

the biggest thing i've driven which isn't a ford was an XPT,,3000 hp at 1500rpm.i think it was.gets up to speed quick but is a pig to bring to a stop...

[snypereb]

With technology these days they should be able to get the gear change so you dont even feel it!!

[Polyal]

6 speeder is option on n/a XR6

and synper..sometimes you cannot tell if it changes...awesome bit kit!

[snypereb]

Sounds schweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!

[ilsautomotive]

I stand corrected. Looks like you can get the ZF on the XT 5.4 also.

[Polyal]

yes jack...any V8 gets the 6 speeder
