Ok, this has been thrashed out before.

But does anyone now "know" what the difference between the, soon to arrive, Auto in the XR8 and the Auto in the XRT

Is it the same box but with stronger internals, or a different box altogether?

Just thought I'd add another comment.

The 220 V8 (used in the XT etc) has 470nm of torque, and I understand that they use the same Auto and Manual as our Turbo... why is the Turbo limited the 450nm then???

All V8s run the same manual box,GT,XR8,XTV8, and its not the T5 box that's in your XR6T.

About the auto I would think that they had to beef it up for the GT 290kw and use that box in a XR8, that's why its taken so long for the XR8 auto to be released.

Don't know if they are the same, but if it helps at all the GT uses an all new BTR M97-019 box. Given that they were realeased around the same time, I think it is safe to assume the XR8 is running the same box. Any XR8 Auto owners out there know their auto box's model number?
