Default XR6T or G6E - Potential Future Desirability

**** it, I'm going full-Hulk...

In VL Commodores, turbo was an option on anything from SL / Executive / Vacationer through Berlina and then Calais, and also throw VicPol's BT1 into the mix too.

VL Turbos now have a cult following and are highly collectable; but it is arguably the VL Calais Turbo that is most desirable of all turbo VLs (Calais and BT1, depending on tastes).

Fast forward to the final decade of turbo Falcons and you have XR6 Turbos and G6E Turbos (plus police-spec XR6T "chasers" with Brembo front and larger wheel package to fit the larger brakes).

So what does the AFF crystal ball see in 10-15 years from now...if year/model/condition/kms is equal, will G6ET be more sought-after than XR6T in future years (just as VL Calais Turbo is the more desirable of all VL turbos)?

And traditionally ex-cop cars cost less than privately owned used cars, but will we ever see the "chaser" XR6Ts with their bigger front brakes/wheels from factory ever fetch a premium over non-cop XR6Ts (like VicPol's yellow BT1 chaser's with their long-range tank fetch a premium over a base-spec VL turbos these days)?
