September 18, 200719 yr #1 so anyway iv got to get rid of the EL xr6t to make way for a ute for work and fun purposes as welllookin at probly a mk2 xr6t or xr8 6speed manualwots fuel economy going to be like with say:xrt6 probly with edit axhaust n cooler caixr8 probly just headers exhaust edit n catake this as driving reasonable with a bit of fun here n there. I imagine they would b about the same???wont be taking mods to the extream as im gettin a bike to take care of thatI was thinkin more the 8. good 4 crusing and v8 rumbleare the v8's becoming cheaper to get than the xr6t?looking to spend around 25000 - 35000 ....resonable?
September 18, 200719 yr #4 Mate go the 6T.I had a BA XR8, sold it and brought an 07 T.A 6T with the mods you want, will be very nice.Believe me, you won't give a crap about V8 rumble, while you trying to hold on to a 6T that delivers over 700NM of torque at 3000RPM.Just my 2 centsTony

September 18, 200719 yr #8 dude, it's a very personal thing... I had a BA turbo, sold it and bought an XR8 ute.the XR8 is slower, but more fun in my opinion.your best idea is to go and drive both and make up your OWN opinion.

September 19, 200719 yr #10 Try and test drive a modded T and 8 if possible cause theres a big difference than stock, and bang for your buck. Edited September 19, 200719 yr by XRTPSI
