I was at Tocal field day on Saturday and a bloke I spoke to there was selling exhausts and chips for them and also a pedal box replacement. He reckoned the drive by wire pedal box gave them terrible throttle response and that they sold a replacement to fix it. Sounds like a good idea but first thought is the exhaust, chip and pedal add another $3000 to the car.
Looked again at a Ford today, $31500 driveaway for an XR6 auto, and $36500 for a turbo auto. They've fitted a heavy duty ZF box to the FG too.

Dave, GS is 1200kg towing capacity I think.
