lol@all the guys that think stock XR8s are slow. I had to check under my feet to see if it was the BS piling up that was lifting them.

Stock .. there is nothing in it .. modified, T all the way.

I have test drove a 2004 FPV Gt and thought it was slow and painfull to drive, I nearly brought it because I like the way it looked. I now have a 2003 XR6T which is a very nice car to drive, I have a cat back exhaust system and I am happy with the note that I get from it.

The XR6T's seem to be getting slower and slower in the performance times. If I remember correctly they did 0-100 in an Auto Ba T in 5.9 seconds when it first came out. Motor and Wheels haven't seemed to be able to replicate it since with MkII and BF.

Looks like its piling up on your face Brunkster

[240 T]

If it's going to be Auto it's the XR6T

If it's Manual I would choose XR8

If your going to Mod (Serious mods not like just a K & N Filter) go the XR6T

If it's going to get like a Cats Back Exhaust and that is all I would choose the XR8.

If your going BF the Auto V8's are as fast as a T but if your going BA/BA MKII they are SLOW.

Can't beat the sound of a BOSS with an Aftermarket Exhaust though mate, drive emboth is the only way to choose

Guys thanks for your posts so far.

My delemer is my partner doesnt want to spend 40 odd k, so I will be looking at the 25 - 30 k range, and too my supprise there is bugger all difference in price between 02 - 03 (sometimes 04 if there desperate) xr8 and t's.

I have a test drive lined up tomorrow in a xr8 wich is on ebay, and I am still unsure, though, I think im leaning the XR8 way, as well you gotta love that sound.

I have once before test drove a turbo a few years ago, and it was friggen awesome, so I am still undecided.

Im looking for sports leather seats - chunky wheel, premium sound, and premium brakes, sun roof is optional, wouldnt mind it, can live with out it, lol...

I spotted one with all that stuff in the for sale section (here) for 25k, allthough I dont mind the colour (preffer black) that is a great price, but anyway, I will be trying to sort it out in the next few days.

Ohhh

How shmick is that Bionic colour. Nice)

I own both.I like both.The turbo feels lighter but with a more drivetrain vibration and engine resonance.The V8 is a lot smoother and feels like a much more solid and integrated car.Mine are both lightly modded.

Potential to go fast?

XR8 capa blower,edit and exhaust 7-8 grand?

XR6T ic, edit,injectors and valve springs about half that.

XR8 with headers and exhaust kills a turbo for exhaust note,almost worth buying for that alone.XR8 handles very well but Turbo handles better.What would I buy next time?Probably another V8.They have a whole different; more substantial feel and an XR8 with a blower- who cares about turbos.
