I found it was a bit glitchy but mostly played smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheaty McCheats Totally not a Cop Donating Members 821 Member For: 13y 7m 29d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 26/04/11 01:51 AM Share Posted 26/04/11 01:51 AM always had a soft spot for the xr8. but if I had to get a 8, don't shoot me for saying this, but would have to be a gen3. cheaper to get power out of than the ford, and you can pick up a second hand motor now for about $1500 to $2000. on ebay a second hand xr8 motor is still around $5000. and the Expensive Daewoo is not as front heavy. just my opinion, fords are best with the 6T and Expensive Daewoo for the 8.Not anymore mate, I'd say the Coyote 5.0L V8 over the Expensive Daewoo engines any day.

XRT has no competition, can't compare the sv6, that's up against the n/a xr6. the coyote is a great engine, but take that supercharger off and probably be slow as crap. for what the gen3 is, it's not a bad bit of kit.

I don't know how you can call that crap for a 5L Edited 26/04/11 03:23 AM by Paulie2256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 3m 28d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 26/04/11 03:26 AM Share Posted 26/04/11 03:26 AM (pazzo) Isn't that why the XR8 is meant to get the arse? Cause they can't put an N/A 5ltr in it cause it will be rubbish compared to the 50tlr gen 1000 or what ever it is now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have made a smart move here. The gt is making almost 400kw from just a tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
