howd the xr6 feel with the performance / accel etc compared to ur subey mate?
You could feel the weight in the XR6, but that didn't make it a slug at all. I can't really tell if it was quicker than the Suby, it went about going places in a much more relaxed way, but I dare say that it was quicker! The steering was heavy compared to the Suby, but I don't hink that the heavy steering is a bad thing though. I'm probably just used to the light steering that comes with most japanese cars.
The performance of the XR6 was good, it had strong acceleration from standstill and just kept going. In the twisties, there was no sign of understeer/oversteer, it was a very point and shoot affair. It was the kind of car that you just want to keep driving, much like the Suby.

I had a drive of a silver VE GTS last week. It was a suggestion award through work.
It pulled pretty hard and did great skids.
