When I bought it, I originally went looking for a xr8. Driving them didnt seem to put that smile on my face.. that pull back into my seat.. Comparing the xr8 to my turbs, it felt so much slower..However, ive been a v8 boy at heart most of my life. Always watched the super v8's and always loved the sound a the boss 260/290.. My dilemma at the moment is as it was when I first bought my turbs.. I actually wanted to buy the xr8.. So now im feeling this erge to sell off my pride and joy and change over to a xr8. Im not really into boosting and going fast. I didnt plan on boosting my turbs and spending so much on upgrading turbs and intercoolers... I dunno... I do love the pull my turbs has.. just always loved the sound of a v8. So now I ask for your opinion. Ofcourse asking this question on a xr6 turbo website, I can imagine my answer.. but for those who have been in my position, what would you do? I hear so much about problems with the ba but price wise, im seeing xr8's and turbs at around the 14k mark.. I have a BF XR6 Turbo totally stock, the 6 speed auto aswell. Do I sell my turbz and buy a xr8?? Edited 06/08/10 01:45 AM by 4DZILR Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/69831-xr8-or-xr6-turbo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superharged a whole new conversationGTE SC will be my next rideNoise doesn't replace push in the back.
