Kevo, welcome to the jungle mate. Interesting question mate, especially on a XR6T forum. My opinion after owning a T and having driven an 8, I would go with the 8. There is something about that sweet sound of the V8 boss with a blower, great of the mark and that note is unbeatable. Before everyone goes off, yes I love my T and it has a sweet spool, great performance and driveability, but for a weekender I prefer the blown 8. Ozzie Mods may want to make this a poll
