Go the XR where you get a good base package and hotter engine and better looks.

Whatever you do, don't dump an XR6 on stockies!!

I'd probably go the XR (five-speed) route if you can afford it (and insurance) mainly because of the better resale.

Yeah I agree, XR6 on stockies just wouldn't look right, unless they were on the back only _2:

Get an XR6, they come stock with 3.45 LSD, better interior, they look better (IMO), tickford motor etc (164kw), it's also easier to find a manual one.

i'd go with the XR6, already got the 3:45 diff and nice bodykit and rims.
or go with the GLi if you want the stock, sleeper look.

Yeah definantly go a manual XR if you can 3.45LSD and 5 speed is fun! But as Xrated said check insurance the premiums are jacked up heaps between a futura V XR6 for example, trust me i know :

you could also look for a ef series 2 fairmont ghia, as it has the tickford motor and better interior
