You forgot the oil burning, rear main leaking, over weight, underpowered, ill handling.. rubbish brakes, unless Brembo optioned, etc etc etc. Other than those few issues that other & myself have mentioned they are a good car

Swap swap swap.

I love Hulky threads!

This forum is like his personal
Lister pump and he's the handle!

Turn the handle and watch it run Hulky hahahahahah

I am a V8 man through and through, but no way would I swap a optioned up BF2 XR6T for a cloth seat base model BA GT of similar condition. You would need a fully optioned BA to even remotely consider, I would need to see Brembo's and leather, and may be a sunroof for good measure before even thinking about it.

Maybe he is going to have an LS put into it?

[GTPete]

I kind of like the idea that your not in a GT.

oil consumption, blower snouts, busted dipsticks, stuffed water pumps and milkshakes ftw bro

[superyob]

Swap it for an XB of similar value Hulk. That should see you into a mint 6 cylinder Fairmont with no leaking rear oil seal and you will finally be cool and gain the elusive approvals that you so desperately crave…

Yep, it's BA talk here, not FG,

[fordomatic]

If you were serious Hulk i dont think you would have started this thread.

Both cars are worth around the same. No way i would swap a car i know it's full history of for one with double the km's and unknown history. I dont think you are serious because of many reasons, the three main ones being; you stating that you hate the boss engine and that the LS engine is better (having owned both), you stating that the 5 speed is a crap box, you stating that any car that has over 100,000km is old and worn out. You've said all these things in the last year.

Mods, ban him again already he's smoking too much crack again

Has your car only got 7000kms on it Hulk?

I know someone that has a BA model GT he has kept in the garage with 14700km, it's a minter.. Absolutely big stock

He has suggested of a trade

Should I entertain this thought?

Both cars are minters so condition isn't a problem... But here are my concerns

Performance wise my xr6t would pummel it every which way

Future desirability of a genuine fpv GT or bf2 xr6t?

I know my car is mint and no issues but you never know with other cars, could be a Friday arvo built GT or if he's hit it and it's been repaired.

His GT is cloth seats whilst mine is leather

Mine is a late 2007 BF2 and his a 2004 BA1 model

Stock boss 290 5 speed vs i6t zf with sensible mods

Double my mileage

Swap or keep what I got?

This goes against your logic of not wanting to own older models with higher K's

Both the I6T and 290 are a dog of an engine.

Joke?

7850km.... its getting up there for a bf.

What holds me back from the GT is a few things...

- 5 speed manual cant handle any decent mods
- boss290 needs full exhaust and cams to be remotely fun.
- the plastic tensioners in the early boss + coolant flow issue
- boss290's arent gonna be collectible in the company of miami v8s and i6t motors. Sort of like the poor cousin.
- my xr6t is just perfect at the moment. Needs nothing.

Biggest issue though is the 5 speed box..

BUT

I am a v8 man...
Love fpv cars
Boss290 is still very nice motor..
Love a manual v8 cruiser

Jeez, have you ever even driven the thing? Why don't you get the thing out and use it? It's only a xr6t after all. If I were you I'd stick with the car you have. Since you never use it it really doesn't matter what chunk of metal you have in the garage, and to think about having to DRIVE the GT from the shed it's in now to your shed just gives me chills, I mean, that could put upwards of 5kms on the odo possibly more of he lives further away but that's just too terrible to even comprehend.

BTW, this thread is very obviously a made up scenario so he can compare his car to a GT and come to the conclusion that his is better (on paper).

[STINKY NINJA]

Theres a reason why your mate doesnt want it..
Why would you give a toss what ford forum thinks,99% of people here think your a froot loop dude,seriously!

[CyberWasp]

Stuff the GT, there are plenty of Toyota yards willing to swap you a mint Camry for the XR6T.

I love it how M&Ms thanked your post.

[STINKY NINJA]

Just join up again under a different name hulk and dont be silly anymore,under the radar..
Or swap for the gt and change your name to hulk bossy.

No not a made up scenario... its actually a really tough decision..

The GT isnt the ideal GT being a 5 speeder and not at least late 05 model post plastic tensioners but 14000km is pretty good. Still a damn nice cruiser. Ive owned a boss 5.4 manual before from stock to cammed and then supercharged so i know they are great cruisers.

But my xr6t being late 07 bf2 has the typhoon internals, has the glorious zf, with 7850km... like new..

Before i bought the xr6t i was very very close to buying a 6 speed manual ba2 GT with 32000km. Couldnt make my mind up then and someone else bought the GT making my decision easy. At the time i couldnt decide.

You can't even keep track of your own drivel.

[Sabantien]

I just can't help but think that if you never drive it, never intend to drive it, does it matter what problems a car may or may not have? Does it matter what car you have at all?

[The Monty]

Is it friday hulk thread already?

[BFXR8]

I would go for the GT yes it may cost a little bit more to mod but the sound/feel of a cammed boss 290 is nice .When driving on the road personally a GT will make me turn my head not a xr6t . The plastic tensioners could have been already been replaced . The 5 speed box is fine for a street cruiser .

[HULK_I6T]

I don't drive it much as I have other cars

But when I do drive it, nothing better than driving a minter, knowing everything is as new, everything works perfect, still smells new, not a mark on the car, never seen rain. Sure there are plenty new cars out there but not new b series...it's a one of a kind!!..knowing that most b series out there have 20 times the km on the odometer (or more) and drive nowhere near like mine. You just can't get a b series in as good condition, not for love or money.

One day hopefully everyone gets the opportunity to drive a mint car when most others of its type on the road are a little rough round the edges.
