Maybe not the XR8 as much. Even my dealership manager mate doesn't think they'll move many turbos. I tried really hard to like it but just can't. A good second hand FG turbo can be had pretty cheaply. You also won't have the insurance hit by not wearing an FPV badge. If you could get a good one, the 50 anniversary models were nicely featured.

While a great package it was not different enough to the the FG for me. In Black or Smoke the new XR8 does look quiet nice in person but again nothing special. If upgrading from a B series it may have been a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
