Yeh that does look sh*t. Not a fan of that colour. Maybe cos I already own a blue car. I want that dark silver colour if it was really as dark as it looked in the pic

If you like to throw up in your mouth, so be it.

Different strokes for different folks.

The carbon fiber intake is all about wank factor.

Any aerospace engineer out there want to explain how this intake will have faster airflow to the turbo than the factory one? :)

SS inductions used this basic idea for their cheapo fg turbo intake for years now,its 2 screw on bits of plastic to give the ram air effect to the factory snorkel,costs 100 bucks:)

They have deadset stolen that idea and made it flasher than a dog with 6 tails haha

I believe this will be the new favourite mod to lower spec turbos,not unlike the old tickford snorkel,except this may cost slightly more...

That metallic blue colour looks OK, I have actually seen an unmarked chaser FGXT cruising the streets of Parramatta in that colour, and it looked surprisingly good…a bit subtle and understated but still aggressive looking…

 

Not a fan of the stickers etc…I prefer clean looking cars…

Yeah forgot to say my first thought on the baby 6 stripe was "gross"

Well the dealerships must be desperate.

I had a call from the guys where I bought the car from and they went on about how they only got two cars allocated to them

One is the xr8 and the xr6 sprint. I told him that I would trade mine in if they gave me the nitro in a manual.

 

He went through the build list on the page only to get to the end and find out there is no manual( I laughed quietly as he was going through the build list.)

Once he got to the end and realized there was no manual, I asked him how much the car was.

He gave me this huge spiel about how only 500 are being made and how it is an end of the era and sh*t.

 

I said to me that I need to know the price so as to not waste any more time.

63K??? like wtf!!! I almost fell of my chair. I told him to forget about it. I ain't paying that much as it was 11k over my budget.

 

As mentioned elsewhere the figures provided for the xr8 and xr6 turbo are on ron95.

What would those figures be when on Ron98?

In case you didn't know, there's now a Sprint page on Ford's site complete with brochure detailing everything you might want to know.

 

Two things I took away from it was that the Sprint's are getting Pirelli P-Zeroes and launch control to help get the power down, and that the interior is horribly blacked-out - unless it's just a really bad photo.
