+1 for buy an xr6t can pick them up for 20 grand these days in good condition.

or at least something better then an eb gli dont care how much you like it cause its been in the family. its just not worth spending money on.
i learnt the hard way like alot of people i spose.

otherwise turbo it.

why buy an XR6T? you can make an NA EB just as quick as a stock one for a 1/4 of the price -

Id much rather a smooth driving, reliable, easy power XR6T over an NA EB. Small mods on the BA have huge increases.

lol, there is a lot of that going around.

Airbags + XR6T engine, who cares how old the car is, if you want to do a EB up, do it.

Unless...

Spend 5 grand on the EB, put the 10 grand you have left into a bank with good intrest returns, and in 2-3 years time buy a second hand BF F6, or use it to secure a loan on FG G6E or XR6 Turbo
