xa-coupe Member 95 Member For: 22y 6m 4d Gender: Male Posted 23/04/04 10:21 AM Share Posted 23/04/04 10:21 AM I have a XR8 sedan - manual.Things I have won against .. and lost against:VYII Clubsport - dead even to 100VT SS - killed me like no tomorrowVX SS - I inched awayXR6T Ute - I inched awayVH Commoe ... killed me good !!All of my drags stop at about 100 ish as that's plenty fast enough but it goes to show that the conventional wisdom about the XR8 doesn't wash. They are't massively underpowered and owned by every XR6T out there. The understeer isn't obvious until speeds that are stupid on public roads.Having said that, the T is a very good car and probably better value for money.But, as the Expensive Daewoo ad said .. There's nothing quite like a V8 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/5255-xr6t-vs-xr8/page/10/#findComment-114796 Share on other sites More sharing options...

stang Donating Members 1,353 Member For: 21y 3m 11d Location: Melbourne Posted 23/04/04 12:08 PM Share Posted 23/04/04 12:08 PM Sorry Dave,But his my 2cents.I have an Xr6T.If you get a sedan I reckon the XR6T rocks my only gripe is that the xr8`s sound better and you get the sexy bonnet bulge.If you get the ute theres nothing like a V8 whats really suprised me from reading all the posts is nobody has mentioned longetivity.Espesicially if you intend on towing the V8 would definitely have the advantage as the turbo wouldnt last as long as the v8 as a work horse.Turbo enjoy the BOOSTV8 enjoy the rumble either way you win.regardsStang Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/5255-xr6t-vs-xr8/page/10/#findComment-114860 Share on other sites More sharing options...
