I seriously looked at a GT/GT-P before I brought my T, but I wanted something that was quick in a straight line. And I don't care how you slice your bread but the GT/GT-P's aren't quick.
Yes the GT/GT-P are brillant looking cars and you obviously get more than an extra 30kw for the extra cash over an XR8. However, if your looking for something that is truely quick, go for the XR6T, add an APS stage II kit and it will cost you about $2.5K more than an XR8 sedan.
If I wanted a great "drivers" car then I would have brought a GT.
I optioned my T up with a few little extras and couldn't be happier.

Oh, and I guess when we talk about a "Claytons" performance car we should first define "performance".

Have owned a XR6T and now the GT, best decision I made was selling the T. Nice car, quick, sounded great with the ss straight through system, but all in all the GT is just so much better.

Hey is the brake shudder felt when braking or turning at slow speeds ie parking, cos my XR6T has a bad shudder while doing major turns on the steering wheel . Its been in under waranty to get fixed 4 times now at Bryne Ford Brisbane and still the same, they even replaced the powersteering pump on the last visit!.
