XR6T/F6/GS Utes = much more cheap & easy performance potential than any of the holdens..

The Ford utes still run the old leaf spring rear suspension. Awesome for lugging around lots of stuff, but not nearly as sophisticated in the handling department. I guess the OP would need to consider whether he is going to be carrying lots of heavy stuff in the tray and if not, the Holden would be a much better performance handling option with it independent rear suspension. This is a point of view shared by the Aussie motoring journo's by the way

A good mate had an '08 R8 Maloo with full exhaust, extractors, intake, cams, tune, wheels, springs.

Absolutely hammered and sounded amazing, but he had to sell it after getting done at 160+ overtaking someone.

I'd probably get one if I needed the ute aspect.

I test drove a V8 FPV ute with my brother, it was quick, but not the sort of quick I expected for $30k. I wouldn't get one of those, maybe the F6 though!

My dad had a vz maloo lowered, chipped and a full exhaust, it sounded amazing and went like the absolute clappers!!! Loved that car he only sold it because he moved overseas

My daily driver is a SS VZ ute, great power and hasn't skipped a beat since I first got it.

should have gone liquid gas injection! I've heard good things about it, and it would cut your fuel bill in half!

ya liquid injection even more power lol but i made a compromise with the missus plus didnt want to borrow any more money (to liquid inject it) but ive always wanted a Westfield (Caterham7 copy) so ive got this as me 'daily' and will build the westfield when car loan paid off in 1 1/2yrs
