[QUOTE="phrunt, post: 604703, member: 17794"] I would imagine the GPX 6000 wouldn't even be compatible with the GPX coils even if they were to plug in with no chip security, it's a very different animal when it comes to small gold performance, the coils would obviously need to be made differently for this. While it's a shame for us GPX owners with a big collection of great coils if we were to buy a 6000 we wouldn't be able to use them I doubt the reason behind it is they didn't want us to use them, I would think it's just because they wouldn't work, similar to how the SDC needs different coils to the GPX. Sometimes backwards compatibility just isn't possible. I also wonder if the GPX 6000 coils are flat wound more like the EVO's, X-coils and Elites and so on to help with that small gold performance although when you look at the underside of one how it's hollowed out to keep it lighter when the skid plate is taken off it doesn't appear to be the case with not enough area for the flat windings to fit. It does seem a pretty impressive machine from early reports of regular users. [/QUOTE]
