Skooby Donating Members 398 Member For: 18y 5m 26d Location: Phillip Island Posted 26/08/10 01:59 AM Share Posted 26/08/10 01:59 AM I entered that comp too. Some of the winners' entries were an absolute joke. They didn't even answer the question correctly which leads me to believe they randomly selected the winners instead of being a 'skill' based entry as advertised. Anyway, enough of my jealousy. Sounds like you had a ball. Can't wait for the reveal (although the wait so far has been too long). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll also get to hang out with several TopGear staffers for the weekend and be mildly amused/annoyed by their witty banter, or lack thereof. You will, however, have to help them pitch their tents, as they’re not very good at it.Entry to comp here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunna Donating Members 813 Member For: 18y 2m 19d Posted 28/08/10 05:00 AM Share Posted 28/08/10 05:00 AM Pffft - I've already driven that car...Whilst at the design studio I saw the rear bar of the new XR8 being milled out of clay (clay model) and the XR8 had the quad pipe setup for the new V8. So that would pretty much confirm XR8 is still around.Oh does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR6T 747 Member 37 Member For: 17y 7m 1d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne, Vic Posted 30/08/10 09:45 AM Share Posted 30/08/10 09:45 AM Just a motor? why is it not worth an extra 5k? heck - everyone pays an extra 4k for just a turbo! Not to mention every FPV owner who saw fit to fork out tens of thousands extra for some stickers and more power Fact is the buying public will decide whether this very different powerplant is worth the extra dough and the sales will tell the tale. My guess is f*ck yes.Lets cut the crap, an f6 fg is capable of a 12.3 @114pmh - this new V8 better dust the six cylinder in a comprehensive manner - otherwise f*ck no - lets keep it REAL...Cheers XR6T 747 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
