What do people think the list price for the SC XR8 will be? I can’t see it coming in at the same price as the GS if it’s to include the GT’s current brake package as standard. If anything looking at the figures I’ve collated below it’d probably match up to the HSV GXP. That leaves the XR6T to fight it out with the SS/SS-V in the budget market until Ford can source a NA 5.0 V8 from the US. It’s too bad they can’t launch the entire range at once.
[CODE]Model Trans MRRP Variance XR6T MT $47,990 XR8 MT $47,990 $- GS MT $54,950 $6,960 GT AT/MT $67,890 $12,940 Model Trans MRRP Variance SS MT $47,990 SS-V MT $55,290 $7,300 GXP MT $59,990 $4,700 R8 MT $65,990 $6,000 [/CODE]

We've seen the articles/stats/discussions on how hard it is to swing buyers from one make to another. Ford needed to do something special with the V8 to win the masses of V8 buyers and this is it! We know how good the N/A Coyote is but i for one am glad to see Ford going all out! The gloves are off!!!!! Stuff 'em!!!!!! I've bought 3 XR6 in a row now (two of them Turbo) and i could definitely see myself in a S/C XR8!

Can someone tell me what DOTAR is? And, what is Ford having called DOTAR likely to mean?
I got no idea about that stuff... Edit: department of infrastructure, transport, etc.?

I'd assume they would be on the phone to them because the information was probably meant to be embargo'd so it wasn't accessible to the public but was entered wrong.

Can't wait till those bad boys come out but it's about time Ford got out of their tunnel visioned ways and brought in an alloy block. Why use a heavier block for the same power :S

I hope the sc'd version comes as a limited edition, with 6 spare tyres... Cos with a exhaust pulley intake and tune they are going to be off the dial
About time ford, show Holden who is Boss.. |

ford is haveing good products across the range, there`s no down side, the way i look at it even a na version should be an improvement, if what we`ve read is correct less weight ,sitting lower in the engine bay, similar power with higher red line, as far as competing with turbo 6, any sales being lost to the coyote won`t matter because haveing all these great engines will bring more people into the showroom.
