im right ey? Well if its a fake why does he say its a 1997 FORD FALCON El XR6 on description...that must be illegal

Scott · 09-03-2006, 11:02 PM

Plenty do it, I was amazed at the prices of some GT's until i read the details in the ad's only to read "lookalike". One add I saw for a GT-P didn't even say that, I only realised when I looked at the photo of the dash! It's still alright for around for around $7k, looks a million bucks and from the description would probably handle pretty well too. With a manual, it'd have plenty of go to get you into trouble!

Dave23 · 09-03-2006, 11:12 PM

so the question then is....what exactly is it...and ill feel kind of gay drving around in a lookalike..wouldnt you? People would say like oh that fag trying to make it look like an xr6. What exactly is the car im buying bro.

Scott · 09-03-2006, 11:17 PM

A 97 EL Falcon with an XR6 bodykit, GT wheels & some suspension mods. The wheels are probably worth $1000 - $1500 alone.

Dave23 · 09-03-2006, 11:18 PM

my car is on there or the one i wanted....theres other Xr6's now are they the real deal or not.

AdzT3-146 · 09-03-2006, 11:31 PM

I think that EL with the GT rims must be a GLi.
He's gone and got the xr6 dash badge. doesn't look like he's got front power windows but, which the XR's come standard with.
Also doesn't have a clock in the dash above the headunit. Hard to tell if it's got cruise control buttons on the steering wheel, i don't think it does though

Dave23 · 09-03-2006, 11:33 PM

You saying its a gli?

Scott · 09-03-2006, 11:34 PM

Call your local Ford dealer with the VIN #'s, they will tell you wxactly what they are - with no bs.

Dave23 · 09-03-2006, 11:36 PM

I thought i found the car of me dreams...now...i dunno. So angry. All i want is a good Ford that has good looks to turn heads and get the ladies, but in return be very powerful. whist coming within 7-10 g's. Maybe i can mod this Gli to enhance its speed. And be honest guys....would you want to be seen driving around or be embarssed in an xr6 lookalike? or would you just se eit as a mad body kit.

AdzT3-146 · 09-03-2006, 11:42 PM

I used to have an EF GLi, lowered, rims, zorst etc. no kit on it, but it got it's fair share of looks.

It could be fun to do up a GLi, you could add things onto it from other higher spec models to make your GLi a bit different from all the rest.

It's a personal choice mate, all depends what you want to do with it. The exterior is the same as an XR apart from the wheels, which are bigger anyway.

Scott · 09-03-2006, 11:43 PM

Dave23 · 09-03-2006, 11:44 PM

So you wouldnt be embarssed to drive in the car im after, i really calue ur oppinions

AdzT3-146 · 09-03-2006, 11:49 PM

Well i know i definatly wasn't embarrased to be driving a base model Falcon, and im sure there's a lot of other guys and girls on here who have base model falcons that they're proud to call theirs.

I think that EL looks good, im a fan of the colour and the rims go well with it IMO.
All i can think of is clear side repeaters to finish off the exterior

Dave23 · 09-03-2006, 11:51 PM

Man if u were a chick id root you, and everyone who has helped me. Thanks for your help man. I have decicided to negociate 7,000 for the car and plan on buying it.

snypereb · 10-03-2006, 12:02 AM

No.3 mate!!!

FPVWEPN · 10-03-2006, 12:25 AM

omg relax dude were just posting on a forum we dont want to be rooted

lol the xr and the gli/futura have ИИИИ all power difference like 4kw the only difference there is the diff which you can get from the wreckers and a good extractor/exaust / cold air will see in in front of stock xr's!! havong said that a manual is the only way to go and theres nothing wrong in driving around a mock up if its done right

FairmontEL · 10-03-2006, 12:32 AM

i wanted to buy that blue el xr lookalike until i found out it was fake around a month ago it didnt say lookalike and there were no interior photo's was just advertised as an el xr6 ... looks good tho

LTD boy · 10-03-2006, 06:54 AM

dont forget insurance if your eighteen your insurance will be bad anyway but once you mod they will root (lol) you even more Im selling my XR for 10,000 and there are plenty more for the same cost around

eg stock xr will be cheaper to insure by heaps than modded anything else I think

Speaking of which, I saw ARCTK6 driving along Wonga rd. the other day. Still looks good.

AdzT3-146 · 10-03-2006, 10:23 AM

Yeah sweet. Cranners saw it the other week as well in Croydon.
good to hear it's still going around.

Dave23 · 10-03-2006, 03:43 PM

Hey im checkin closely on the car now.
http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!cs_content.private_vehicle?vehicle_id=2738757&cur rent_rec=3&used_rec=2&total_rec=7&sort_type=&total _rec=7&sort_type=&price_min=5000&price_max=10000&m ake_id=6&model_id=17&badge_id=173&state_id=7&searc h_distance=25

It says in the engine category
Engine 6 cylinder U Multi-point injected 4.0L (3984cc)
When i go to the real xr6's seeings this is a GLI it has the same Engine.....could it be possible he has done the real deal and put an xr6 engine setup in the car....or is he having me on?

AdzT3-146 · 10-03-2006, 04:06 PM

From EBII onwards all the 6cyl are 4.0l Inline 6.

Scott · 10-03-2006, 05:07 PM

Dave23 - I promise that there is no conspiracy to stop you getting a new car. Apart from the dubious way he titled the add, everything we can see from his comments and the photo's looks legit.

Browney · 10-03-2006, 05:42 PM

If your looking to compare power on stock setups try this site, i know it says used car prices but fill out the vehicle details n then check the specs. hope its some help Redbook

302 Fairmont · 10-03-2006, 11:42 PM

that last link you posted, its a gli with a XR body kit and front on it, if u see inside there is no front power windows, the XR's where based on the futura with of course tickford motors. It looks the goods tho, i prolly be inclind to pick that one up and thro a good zorst on it and basic intake mods and diff (3.73 or similar). And bingo it would prolly stay with a XR6 or beat it)without the insurance premium.

Southy · 11-03-2006, 08:58 AM

you really want a fast car thatl beat commies? mate you dont have to spend much. just get an EA, do extractors, Cam, Air intake, Cat, exhaust and all the other little goodies and youl be well into the high 14s
