O.K, two posts in as many hours...when ya break ya cherry you might as well do it properly! :joy:

This is kind of related to my first post (VW R36 vs F6). Now, we've all got one of these...the mate with the supposed 'better' car. My best mate had been ranting on about the fact his company was supplying him with a new FG XR8 (considering his last vehicle was a Mitsi 360, he was entitled to brag). He knew the R36 was ordered and was keen to rub in the fact that I was traitoring over to VW.

I can tell you, I've heard no end of the performance facts, the power, styling and general V8-ness of the XR8 from him. I also forget to tell him that I cancelled the R36 and went with the F6 instead! Although I had mentioned the impending release of the car and was told that "Whatever they'd done to the F6 could be done to the XR8!"

He still thinks I'm rolling up to his joint in a new R36, and that the XR8 will make me look like grandma!

Might have to post a picture of his face when he sees the new "f$%#ing weapon!" and another of the view from my rear-view mirror as his "grand-daddy V8" gets smoked by Australia's best performing (factory-standard) inline 6. :spit:

I think a R36 would hose a XR8 anyways, but good choice to get a F6.

you may want to ask Cro how good a VW R36 can go. During our last mount cruise, it was near impossible to keep up with him unless it was a straight road. My T with RWD and 251rwkw's vs his R36 with AWD and 220fwkw's and he basically would zip away on those hill climbs. I had my doubts too until I tried to keep up with him.
