planned mods for now will be 20% tint and SL springs in front, SSL springs in the back, hopefully this will happen asap.... maybe some performance mods in the future

ill put some pics up when it arrives

cool, i see a navy blue (whatever fukken colour they call it ) GTE all the time on my way home from work, very nice looking car, love the understated look.
any special reason you went for the GTE over F6E, or just popped up at the right time/dollars and you snapped it up?

yeh was a good price and wasn't to fussed on the engine, even though i know the f6 would be quicker with better fuel eco...

Keen to see some pics, and who cares if it's not fast...that's what the EL is for

wow you were the last person i'd imagined getting something like this. keen to see it, well done.

Pics pics!

PICS! <3

Don't see many of these around.
can't wait to see it dropped

You got what I want Either EGO GTE or G6ET.

Will look sweeeet dumped

Another FG. Dad has an Mystic F6. 2 more months and i cant drive the thing . So F6 on L's is awesome.

Mint car. I'd love to get an fg.

Very nice mate so whats happening to the EL ?

Its not a GT

Its the luxo spec one.

Woops i read that wrong
No wonder it dosnt look like a GT lol

Think I just creamed, love the FG, especially the GTE in that colour, lip spoiler FTW. Just slam it and TT it already!

engine bay pic

Its missing a KB blower!

Very nice man, do they still feel nose heavy in the FG's? Ive only driven the FG F6

I agree with this .
Needs more KB

isnt the only major visual difference between the GT and GTE the lack of spoiler?

And the chrome surround on the front grille..?

The first thing I look at is the fully colour coded front bar.

hahaha no KB! well not yet anyway

u can notice the extra lump in the front but its not as bad as the ba/ bf's

EFFalcon wrote:isnt the only major visual difference between the GT and GTE the lack of spoiler?

i think its just lip spoiler, chrome grill surround, chrome side window surround, chrome badge thing on the boot, colour coded bumper and gte badges

Just out of interest i put this on the dyno today in stock form..

did 4 run all between 335 and 340rwhp/ 250rwkw

not bad i thought

i'm not really sure either. seem's pretty healthy though..

congrats on the sexmobile.
250rwkw sounds healthy.
so did you actually run it at 13.61 @ 105.5mph???
thats a decent time, but mph seems a tad low for a boss 315 me thinks

one of these on ffa just went 12.90something with minimal mods, cai, exhaust, tune..

yep 13.6 @ 105.5mph is what it did

on the same dyno and same day my old ladys stock fg xr6t did 320rwhp and that run a 12.94 @ 110mph

both 6 speed auto, just gotta remember the v8's are a bit lazy and the gte weighs just under 2 ton

geez thats a decent figure, thats about the same as dylans ute.......and people say the motors are shit pffft

looks good man. very classy

boos motors have always put down good number on the dyno, but they never back it up at the track


this graph is from about 3000rpm to 6600rpm

Finally lowered!!
