I don't think i even need to drive the xr6T!!!

[stockel]

Hey everyone,

Interesting thing this. I had always seen the arguments for the xr8 over the xr6T ....you know the ones: Makes better noise etc etc.... and I thought what BS! I'd have the turbo............... until i drove the BA xr8 for the first time that is!!!!!!! (mk 2 6 speed manual, all options).

As i stated in the title of the thread i haven't driven the turbo yet (only na ba xr6), but everything I loved about the xr8 the turbo doesn't have - the sound mmm and THAT bulge!!! (that looks soooo good from the drivers seat) that's probably it LOL - buts its enough!!!!!!!!

As is widely known it was relatively not overly nimble BUT YOU JUST DON'T CARE!!!!
I know that at the end of the day i haven't driven the turbo yet but I cannot believe how much i enjoyed the xr8 i was very much soso until i drove it (although i obviously liked the look of it).
I am probably talking absolute babble here but as i said the things that i ended up enjoying the most about the xr8 were unexpected things and things that to some piont the turbo lacks.
I think xr8 owners will understand!!! (I hope) LOL.....

By the way my decision would be made harder if i had big mods planned for reasons that have been widely discussed.
