Will this be faster than the sporty 6 cylinder Commodore SV6?

I was away on hols during the week and while filling up at a servo in Port Macquarie I overheard a fellow talking about and showing off his new VF Commodore and he referred to it as the SV6, the sports model. I’m still chuckling. |

I dont think it will happen, Ford are more interested in pushing the V8
Cant see them changing internals in the i6 , maybe a tune but anyway there is only one F6 & that was retired just like the GT so i wouldnt like to see anything taken away from the F6 |

I don't know which auto the F6 ran, but presumably it was the strengthened version.

If they do release a hypo 6 equivalent to the F6 in this new model priced at the same point as the XR8 this will be the only car to slow down the XR8 sales.
Hmmm might have to leave a deposit with my dealer I have bought the XR8 from just in case, then I can upgrade the typhoon for one of these if they ever come into existence. George |

My idea of a sports sedan has more to do with performance than body kit. I think the same of an XR6. An XR6T, now that’s a sports sedan. |

I dont think a LE XR6T will have any bearing on the V8 sales, there are enough people out there who want the last and if the rate of sales is anything like the dealers are suggesting then they will hit there quota pretty quick I think.
If that happens, and they dont supply more, then a LE XR6T is a "cheap" and quick option.

Have you driven a GT-F? It's no sticker pack special. RS Focus? Driven one of those? It bends the laws of physics. Even the ST Focus and ST Fiesta's are ripper drives. Ford really does know how to build a performance car. |

But, Ford Australia have said there's no more money to be spent on R&D and special models like an Limited Edition XR6T. Who knows, any thing is possible. Lets hope they (ford) still can find some money and build a weapon of a car for us Ford Enthusiasts to drive and enjoy. |

A number of dealers have regular meetings with Ford HQ. If a few of the dealers got behind it and pushed the idea with Ford HQ management it might get legs.
A final FPV was pushed by dealers, Ford listened and the seed for the GT-F was sown.

Yeh but sometimes you get fancy floor mats as well as stickers.

It will not be a sticker pack. It will be a F6 in FG X clothing. Just like the XR8 is a GT RSpec in FG X clothing.
I also agree is they build it, it will sell ;) George |
