Shame you are so far away,..... My dealer is stuffing me around even though I have been on the list about a year when my XR8 order was placed with the whole.... If a limited comes out I want one of them instead.... So I was allocated the last 2015 allocation for a manual XR8, then was told my order was pushed back to March..... Then we finally get confirmation of the Sprint... and I still haven't been confirmed! ARRGGHH!!! ![]()

It's worth whatever you can logically justify for what it is. If it brings you happiness and you can afford it, go nuts. Don't get caught up in the hype though and buy for the sake of buying one. Big commitment! Great cars though, standard or limited edition.

I live in hope that this is correct... but I don't plan on parting with it for many years anyway... This will be my last personal car for a long time to come... I just don't see any new cars coming out that are interesting enough to replace it down the track....
The $9k premium is a bit stiff I reckon since there isn't that much more to the car... I expected $5k before they announced it officially... and then accepted it might be a bit more again,..... but the dealer has doubled their delivery fee too!

Unfortunately I saw an XR8 almost the same colour as a Mustang sitting beside each other at a dealer a week ago and now I'm trying to find ways to stretch out owning my current car for another year to get into a Stang. On it's own, the XR8 starts to look good to me, parked beside a Mustang.. it knocks it back a peg or two - but in it's defence, I'd take the SC 5.0 over the N/A 5.0. |

Have said it before - the 'Stangs do look a bit 'plasticy' next to FG or FG X, which could be down to the popular colour choices (Red, Yellow Black) solid primary colours.
Saw one yesterday that was exactly the same colour as a faded red plastic bucket. For the dough, the FG X is the way to go, for now.

Yeah, it looks like the go-fast model.
Maybe i've only seen the Ecoboost, in the flesh - not sure....

Happy owners of the FGX here?
Done my first 15,000km service on my XR6 Turbo (w/ oil change at 7,500km) Warranty item: GPS Reprogramming I don't really bother with the in-built satellite navigation let alone would pay for updates, that's what a separate GPS unit is form. No sign of clunking from the diff bushes yet Waiting until warranty is over to fit an external transmission cooler Unless these were only early FG MkI issues Just a quick car to slowly enjoy.
