I don't like drag racing , but like the track. So it's manual for me. Wouldn't buy a auto performance car, I like abusing the clutch... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manual is clunky and noisy but I ended up loving it, wouldn't have it any other way now. Great on track, fun on the street, tolerable in traffic. If auto was the only choice I'd have been happy too. I'd probably curse peak hour traffic less. I initially thought auto only in the 6 sprint was a bad idea but I reckon it makes sense. It's a much better match to the turbo 6. I just prefer more control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that they have all been sold. clarkson seaview ford were only allocated one xr8 and one xr6 sprint. Might be hard getting one of them legendary beasts..

People have gone to the other side of the country to buy a 2nd hand T so if people really want one they will chase it down.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change over price from a 2014 FG MKII is a bit steep to the FG Sprint, especially after the Dealers have taken their "gouge" out of it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
