Great thing about the turbo-auto: Once the warranty is gone, I think it's not too hard to find ways of uprating the gearbox and once you manage that, you can easily get a new chip to go over 6psi and lots of hi-po goodness is there, just waiting to be unleashed. (Why they're bothering with the V8 with this available is beyond me. Just put in the hi torque boxes, tick the computer up, use some of that Mazda and Volvo turbo tuning expertise and the thing will treat other V8's with regal disdain.)

I liked the colour, but it probably isnt the colour and old bloke would go for
XR8 was a BA. It had a ton of grunt. I'll have a better drive tommorow. |

Moff- you should have walked into the dealership and say that you are Kerry Packer's brother, and DEMAND your XR6 on the next available car carrier
