blackwrx Member 181 Member For: 19y 9m 7d Posted 25/01/06 04:28 AM Share Posted 25/01/06 04:28 AM I have test drove a 2004 FPV Gt and thought it was slow and painfull to drive, I nearly brought it because I like the way it looked. I now have a 2003 XR6T which is a very nice car to drive, I have a cat back exhaust system and I am happy with the note that I get from it.

CurrentlyBF XR6T (6Speed Auto) 0-100 - 6.2 BF XR8 (6Speed Auto) 0 -100 - 6.4From Wheels Nov 2005The XR6T's seem to be getting slower and slower in the performance times. If I remember correctly they did 0-100 in an Auto Ba T in 5.9 seconds when it first came out. Motor and Wheels haven't seemed to be able to replicate it since with MkII and BF.

kc_ksom Member 5 Member For: 21y 2m 10d Posted 25/01/06 06:30 AM Author Share Posted 25/01/06 06:30 AM Guys thanks for your posts so far.My delemer is my partner doesnt want to spend 40 odd k, so I will be looking at the 25 - 30 k range, and too my supprise there is bugger all difference in price between 02 - 03 (sometimes 04 if there desperate) xr8 and t's.I have a test drive lined up tomorrow in a xr8 wich is on ebay, and I am still unsure, though, I think im leaning the XR8 way, as well you gotta love that sound.I have once before test drove a turbo a few years ago, and it was friggen awesome, so I am still undecided.Im looking for sports leather seats - chunky wheel, premium sound, and premium brakes, sun roof is optional, wouldnt mind it, can live with out it, lol...I spotted one with all that stuff in the for sale section (here) for 25k, allthough I dont mind the colour (preffer black) that is a great price, but anyway, I will be trying to sort it out in the next few days.OhhhHow shmick is that Bionic colour.

Mr X Donating Members 998 Member For: 21y 4m 3d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Hills Posted 25/01/06 06:34 AM Share Posted 25/01/06 06:34 AM I own both.I like both.The turbo feels lighter but with a more drivetrain vibration and engine resonance.The V8 is a lot smoother and feels like a much more solid and integrated car.Mine are both lightly modded.Potential to go fast? XR8 capa blower,edit and exhaust 7-8 grand? XR6T ic, edit,injectors and valve springs about half that.XR8 with headers and exhaust kills a turbo for exhaust note,almost worth buying for that alone.XR8 handles very well but Turbo handles better.What would I buy next time?Probably another V8.They have a whole different; more substantial feel and an XR8 with a blower- who cares about turbos.
