I'm hoping they revive the XR8 with an NA version as it will be far cheaper to insure then something with an FPV badge.

In the past people had to spend 10-15K to get a decent supercharger mounted on their V8 and then power levels could match or even exceed the T's power levels, they do not need to spend this money any more, although I think the V8 intercooler will cost more than a T's cooler due to being air to water rather than air to air.Time will tell how they perform and for what sort of dollars.

To see a professional driver having a little giggle at the awesomeness is quite a statement. Now where's that Dilly bloke? Must be warming up his humble pie?

GS the next cult car
