Jumper leads should be $40 minimum, anything else may as wlel be made from braided kitchen foil and shrinkwrap.

[Birds]

Better than nothing

Have actually used alfoil to jump start a motorbike before

*sigh*.... I think I'm going to buy an XR6 Turbo  Bang for buck on an FG MkII is just too good to pass up compared to everything else in my criteria.

Post-2010, newer the better
Over 200kw
Under $30k
No Out of Warranty Euros

It's either Commodore or Falcon, and the towing capacity on the falcon wins out. Pity the interior is a bit basic.

With a few small mods it's good for an easy 350kw, let alone 200kw

[TiTAN]

In for page 666 too.

[Odium]

Exactly  

Ooops,I meant to say "Over 200kw, ideally 250kw"... which in the Holden camp means an SS, and not looking at VF's so it wouldn't be the LS3 either

[emts]

reliable cheap and not stolen from car parks nearly as often.

 

been contemplating a G6E turbo for a while now as the interior is better

[UNR33L]

XR6T has the same interior if you get the leather option (like mine) just make sure you get one with "premium sound" and "colour screen", reverse camera even better (like mine)

Leather, colour screen, premium sound (subwoofer), reverse camera are the options you want. Then the interior won't seem as cheap. 

If you get a 2012 or newer it'll be mark 2 with a touch screen and different headlights + front bar , and they're all colour so slightly better oh and they have bluetooth music streaming, unlike mark 1 which has ipod connection + aux. (still bluetooth for phone CALLS though)

the xr6t engine makes around 250rwkw ish stock anyways, tune it with injectors, new dump + cat, intake and you see some pretty good gains 

oh and yeh, they tow like you've got nothing on the back.. awesome towing cars. #fordsalesrep

bang on 100
 

[Odium]

Pretty sure the G6E T has the same engine and gearbox, but no LSD and softer suspension?

2300kg is an impressive tow weight, compared to 1600 for most commodores unless you get a wagon and calais

[emts]

I was looking at SS utes initally and that was what put me off them.

I thought the newer VE+ were 2100 however? (not checked in detail however)

but yeah 2300 for the ute  no cares given.

 

 

[Odium]

Ah, you're right... 2100 for SS Autos, its the Manuals that are only 1600
