Sounds like s v8 supercar once those bimodal exhaust valves open. (Draws waaaaay too much attention though!)The braking is great,.The handling is super flat - I am amazed at the handling. I thought it might be more of a straight line beast - instead I got the best handling car I have owned. Its on rails. And the engine is just unreal. Very responsive. Huge power everywhere, especially in 2nd gear and above when the 335kW limit is replaced with 375kw (if its not >30 deg). The power is very linear, and despite the extra power I find it a lot more predictable and easier to drive (including in the wet) than the 270kw XR6T was. So my question is this - is an FGX XR8 forum going to be added to this board??! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would read GT335,GS315, FGX XR8Im with the others Glade youre enjoying the beast by the sounds I think ill need to test drive one now.
