5.4 v 4.0

giha5l

I test drove both and felt the v8 had alot more bottom and mid power, very traditional grunt, were as the xr6 required a wind up to bring a smile to the dial

I ordered the 5.4 (ute)

cheers

Mmyummy! Well I'm only one generation behind the current V8... Maybe wait 5 years & score a "cheap" BA?

Have fun with the ute Red, I know I would!

Re: What Ba Have You Bought

See sig - notice the manual NA XR6 is reasonably popular too, surprisingly!!!! One day you will have the FPV stuff on there, and I will tick the F6 box this time next year. Go the manual XR8s though!!!!!

Very interesting thread/poll though! Should do a poll on colours next!!!! Ha ha.

Re: What Ba Have You Bought

Why not use all the info from polls to gather Vehicle modifications.
e.g.

Vehicle Mod Cost Performance Gain/Loss(Dyno info)

So everyone can make a more informed decision on the mod

Re: What Ba Have You Bought

There is no option for GT(P) or other!!! I need to vote randomly now, just to view the results (like many others who havent told you they've done this).
