Car is AWD so it doesn't do skids haha. Nah I was well behaved when I had the BA and won't be any different now. Will keep an eye out for a thread.

I would be keen for a run if one is organised that is if you don't mind a Toyota tagging along, unless I can steal my Dad's ute .

IMO it doesn't count as breaking Murphy's time, you can't compare times in open practice to a one lap dash session. So many more opportunities to put in a perfect lap compared to a one lap pressure situation.

GS - 545Nm from 2000-5500rpm GT - 570Nm from 2000-5500rpm Vs F6 - 565Nm from 1950-5200rpm Not massive but I reckon plenty more is lurking with small mods

At the end of the day they are 2 very different approaches to achieving a similar power figure. The Turbo 6 will probably win in a straightline but put them round a circuit and especially a damp track the the GT will be quicker. The V8 has a much more linear power delivery and therefore you can feed the throttle on earlier. Have a look at the motor Hot Tuner comparo on a Wet track the 2 turbos were well off the pace (though one had mechanical issues) compared to similar powered V8s. It is also better balanced having a shorter alloy engine. What sucks is the GS & GT being under the FPV banner they will only have a 1600kg towing capacity in auto which simply isn't enough for me .

Of course it'll rev higher then the 5.4 it doesn't have a stroke over 100mm lol. 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.
