Seeing as I've decided to give the xr8 the flick and move into a turbo I thought it might be best if I take one for a drive, so I headed down to the dealer and did just that. I must say the I got more than I expected, its so responeive and smooth but most of you already know this, but id just thought id share my thoughts as it was hard decision letting the v8 go but I think after driving it I made the right choice. If all goes well it should be here by the end of May.

Cheers.

Turbo power without the dreaded turbo lag - a great achievement by Ford Oz. Floor it in standard D and the car goes, and goes.

Was it a new one that you took for a spin I.e not many Km's on the clock?? They get better as the k's wind on.

Test drive a used one to see what it'll be like in a year..

I think we were all impressed on our first drive..

Some of us are still impressed although not all....

Yeah, I think it had about 29kms on the clock, but yeah I know what you mean by, they gettting better with age, my xr8 was like that, but the turbo just has better response down low which is what I like the most.

A bit like you hey glenn

I still love getting in my T and driving, anywhere. I'll actually take the long way home just to have a longer drive.

If you enjoy the stabdard T wait till you mod it, it gets better and better.

Geea.
