We all will know there was only 500 of the XR6 made and 500 of the XR8’s made and enhancements on the factory level to bring power levels up to 325kw for the 6 and some basic styling changes but is it concerned as something “special” or just a whatever outlook on the platform ? When first released I thought it was a “whatever” sticker pack vehicle but looking into them a bit more there’s some neat features that was only available on the Sprint lineup ( Gold 6/4 brembos , Carbon fibre intake scoop, intercooler, ICC dash gauges, overboost strategy, to name a few )and some crazy work putting it together from what might seem an over kill team at production. So far I haven't seen one in SA first hand nor know any customers with one but is it something special or just fluff ? Whats others thoughts on this vehicle ?

Would of been killer to have some Octane,dash,bionic’s Mystic even a new hectic colour line up just for the sprint like the old cobalt ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would buy one. Edited 18/05/19 03:09 AM by tazzanz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amongst other items It does seem most would own one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the FGX ugly will have faded in 50 years as well. Other than that, a tuned up FPV is the one to own...

I’ll just get used to it I suppose, the rear is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
