Iconic Bionic My engine bay is Bionic Legacy Donating Member 3,726 Member For: 20y 5m 30d Gender: Male Location: Freeways Posted 20/06/07 12:52 AM Posted 20/06/07 12:52 AM turbos are too high maintenance for me so my next ford will be a GT. but I wouldnt want an xr8 (not in BA,BF form anyway). I would go for a GT/GT-P anyday over an XR8. but I would rather have an xr6t over a typhoon.A XR6T over a phoon? Really?

As that would be a contributing factor in deciding which car to choose........seems like I hit a nurve.... EDIT - just deleted the QUOTE because it has now been edited in the original post.

Torque is a magnificent thing. My SS hammered 3K and above..but this thing just does it so easy and without fuss and thunder from way lower than that with heaps less dyno grunt....I love the sound of the B series XR8's driving past though....You'll never make a 100% right decision, assemble your own priority list carefully and go from there.
