Well, it finally got the better of me, and I too trundled down to the local dealer (Klosters in Hamilton, Newcastle), spoke with Chris, and had a crawl in, around, and over the XR8.

I gotta say, the new bulge certainly is a stunner, much better in reality than in the pics (not that the pics are exactly dogs bollocks to begin with!)

I also took some shots of the more pertinent details, like the exhaust headers & exhaust system (to the best of the angle I could get on the showroom floor!). I also had a crack at the "drivers view" pic, showing what the bulge looks like from the drivers seat.

Anyhow, enjoy!

Engine Bay

Passenger side exhaust headers.. can anyone say TIGHT!!

Engine Bay - lots of room around air filter

Front view - I've got mahogany™

Lower front view - Baby, I want you.. I need you..

Exhaust system 1

Exhaust system 2

Front 3/4 shot - Oh baby, you so fine!

"Drivers View" (without flash) - and who's that turkey in the rear view mirror?

After this little visit, I am in need of assistance - if anyone has any tricks or procedures for overcoming "depression caused by financial sensibleness", then please share them with me. I'm on the brink of doing something financially silly, and getting one of these lovely machines!!! :afro:

If you reall want the T, go for it.

You can't go wrong either way.

Nice pics mate ... Especially the Phantom. I have an XR6T in Phantom but the XR8 looks awesome.

I just HOPE I don't feel the same way when I bought my XLS AU 6 cylinder ute. After about 6 months I'd wished I got the 8. I doubt that will be the case this time.

I think you will be fine... the 6T is a performance car in it's own right.. the ute would have been ... a ute !!
