I would have bought an xr8 when I bought my xr6 turbo, the only reason I didn`t was because the turbo was quicker.

If the xr8 was quicker I would have bought it and I bought new and I know alot of guys with xr6 turbo`s that thought the same way I did.

I understand that and those comments aren't directed at any specific person, they are in
fact a generic representation of where Ford finds itself with V8 buyers. By the time Ford
gets a NA 5.0 in the Falcon, Holden will be bringing out its next Gen V8 with DI and VCT.
That's what i mean about offering an XR8 that isn't competitive with a future SS AND
I honestly believe that this is why Ford is holding off to see what's on offer next year
and who is actually going to buy an XR8 and what performance they expect versus the SS.
