With a 4" exhaust (and 350rwkw) your turbo will sound way better than a V8 and smash one performance wise! I had a couple of Expensive Daewoo V8's before I bought my car and there is no way in hell I would go back - especially just for the sound!!! All my commo's were modded and I still reckon my turbo sounded better than all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR8, XR6 Turbo, XR8 and now back in an XR6 Turbo... LOLMy next car will be a supercharged V8... The best of both worlds, boost and sound!!!The torque of a v8 is awesome down low... Much better than a 6... But when a T comes on boost... Hold on for your f*cking life LOLAll I can say is... Test drive one and see if it puts a smile on your dial...

Dillz Three pedals are better then two..

If you want a nice sounding cruiser with minimal power go the 8 but if you want something that has show and go stay with the six.I personally think a decently modded barra at full boost sounds so much better then a boring old 8 anyway but that's just my opinion.

I pulled up next to a cammed ve and the sound of it idling gave me a hard on. my t will never pull admiring oohs and ahhs, but then again jaws drop when I leave them behind, so, meh.

bjc Donating Members 2,823 Member For: 21y 6m Gender: Male Location: Townsville Posted 06/08/10 09:47 PM Share Posted 06/08/10 09:47 PM If you can get an xr8 with the 6sp auto than go that. If my xr8 was a sedan I would have kept it and sold the turbo but it was a ute so wasn't practicle for me in the end.Here was my ordinary sounding xr8- XR6T sounding better! your all on fcking drugs...
