Swap my mint xr6t for a mint fpv GT?

[HULK_I6T]

As many know I have a super low km bf2 xr6t with zf auto, all options leather and sensible mods for 330rwkw. Most likely the lowest km best condition b series xr6t in existence

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?

Is it a straight swap? If so i would take the GT anyday. Performance doesnt matter if its garage queen.

[MrEL]

Is the rear seal of the GT leaking?
Will he fit AMG badges to it?
I recommend you get advice from your neighbours and mates at a BBQ. After all they are the ones who will judge you....................................

Swap your car for a new Camry....what's wrong with you.

No one can see your ODO when driving your car. Everyone is just laughing at the loser driving an 8 year old car. Its had 2 model changes already.

Now you want to go 11 years old and 3 models ago.

[sprintman1]

I'd have already done the swap!

[Lunch]

Me too, at the end of the day, that gt badge is going to be worth more than the turbo badge

[Rob 351]

Wouldn't have to think twice!

[Dave R]

You'd want to get the GT thoroughly inspected before trading or you might need a padded room once you realise you traded a mint BF2 for a not-so-mint BA1. I'll go against the grain and say stick with the car you know.

Also, people who buy BAs for investment purposes belong in the same padded room, imo.

I'm a V8 man through and through but I still couldn't make a decision like that unless I saw the cars.

Post up photos of both so we can see how they actually look stance wise, colour etc.

[Franco Cozzo]

No way keep the XR6T.

[Tex Scrotum]

I like BAs
I like GTs
I like FPVs
14700kms is nothing!

The fact that you're BF is modified (sensible or not) devalues it as a low "K" garage queen.

Enough of your pollution Hulk.

DO NOT FEED THE TROLLTARD!

fixed it for you

Keep the turbo. The 290 is a dog of an engine.

[EASYBOSS]

Stay away from A MK1 boss with poor passenger side head cooling

[Whitey-AMG]

Pics of both cars and ODO as well or the whole thing is just drug fuelled BS.
Oh....and after checking rear main seal and it isnt leaking, id take the GT without hesitation, but he'd probably want 5k in cash as well as the swap.
Hulk, you're a classic....

[Stefan]

In how many way can one troll divide a forum and incite an argument.

I6T turbo, 0-100 5.5 seconds
290, 0-100 5.9 seconds
Camry 0-100 5 seconds

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

Grab the GT!!

[Smoke Pursuit]

Plastic tensioners in the GT... That will be ur first drama. GT > XR6T.

Much cheaper to fix than ZF milkshake.

Most likely to have been already done by now

[T MAN]

if you plan on keeping it for a long time, look at it this way, even though the xr6t is faster in 10 years the gt will still be worth something where the xr6t will be worth nothing..

[buggerlugs]

I'm sure the character of this bloke from "Swift and Shift" is based on Hulk.......

Reconsidered my remark.

[MercurySilver]

i was gonna go out into the yard and do some work today, you know, mow nad snipp a bit

but now...ill get the popcorn



keep the turbo
if youre thinking about what either one is going to be worth when youre 80 so you can make a profit then your savings plan might need looking out
is either going to bring in 80 to 100 grand come time to sell?

pick the one you enjoy driving NOW

I can see you in the gt mate, post some pics up when you do it.

Not sure if serious...

[EASYBOSS]

Actually, changed my mind, do it, then you can tell us all about how bad it is and the lack of low down torque, engine ticking noises, poor fuel consumption, diff bushes, and the 4 speed BTR box etc etc etc, and then when the engine needs a rebuild.
