AU XR8 or AU Ghia V8. Which would you buy, and why ?

XR8... I think I'd feel like a Silver Service driver in the Fairmont...

You wouldn't be able to tell. Its paper thin, you may have just passed it in the same lane.

That or it was revving out trying to get up a slight slope.

id go the luxury, with cloth seats (leather is no good in hot climates, you end up just putting seat covers on anyway to stop from sticking or burning!) you still get the premium sound (not that that would last long anyway!) and full options. add the body kit and its almost an xr anyways.

well i stepped up from a ef xr8 man into a au fairmont v8

loved the 5 speed but the ef has nothing on the au2
just a pleasure to drive
but mind you lost my manual appeal
i drive a 13 speed roadranger box for 8 hours a day 5 days a week
so its nice to get into a point and go auto with torque

Black V8 Ghia...... series 3 XR8 kit including front.....19's and low as.......hmm yes please
the power level wouldnt bother me as it wont be staying stock under the bonnet, so why pay a premium for the 220 motor when it'd have somewhere in the vecinity of 300+ at the flywheel anyway by the time im finished with it.........
