Vehicle Info
My XT6 is mostly stock except for a K&N air filter and free flow exhaust. I added a hood scoop from an XT Turbo for more cool air under the hood. I also removed the restrictive intake silencer. These mods have greatly improved power and torque in the upper RPM range. Tires are Firestone Firehawks, 215/60, one size wider than stock. The car is alot of fun to drive, with good torque, a sweet sounding engine (helped by free flow exhaust), and a smooth shifting 5-speed manual. The suspension is firm but not harsh and handling is enhanced by full time all-wheel drive. At highway speeds the suspension actually lowers the ride height for better aerodynamics which in turn returns better fuel mileage. The car still has the original computer controlled suspension and it still works perfectly. The reason I note this is for those of you not familiar with these cars is that the suspension, while very sophisticated, can be problematic and very expensive to replace. Many XT6's have been converted to regular coil-over shocks. I believe that less than 20,000 XT6's were produced from 1989-1991, if anyone knows exact numbers please e-mail me, so the rarity of XT6's ensures the you won't see one very often..My home page: http://members.bellatlantic.net/~bdimen/ bdimen@hotmail.com
