lol I think id like a TT V8 Sound Power and boost. not alot of room for TT in the engine bay.

I lined up a mate from work when I had a BA XR8, and he had a BA Turbo, both autos. They were neck and neck to 160, so don't discount the XR8 as being slower, not all turbos have healthy power, there a lot of them that are 1 or 2 psi short of the factory rating, which lowers the power. A good one will beat an XR8 but they are not all good. As always, factory variability can have an effect.

There have been a couple of stock XR8 manuals that have broken into the 13's.

I also thought the T was faster but lined up a mate and raped him by a car length or 2.

I'd say this must be the reason we made 30+ posts so qucikly. Always such a sensitive subject.

your mate with 6 needs too go get a custom tune ,you can't let the 8 think it has a chance
