BA XR8 + VN SS = Confused

Well i never thought it would happen but i just bought an Acid Rush BA XR8, it has premium brakes and sound, 18" rims and is a manual. I never thought it would happen but with only 30K on the clock and for $27000 i couldn't resist the quad cam V8.
I have been a holden man all my life and I own a VN SS that has been featured in Street Commodores, before that it was an immaculate HQ SS that ran 14 sec quarters with a 253 and several EH's before that. I can't wait to have a play with the XR8, give it a little tickle for some more grunt, :eclipsee_ so i will be looking for tips guys. |

Welcome to the forums, and I hope you enjoy your XR8 to its fullest!
You wouldn't by any chance be the same ssrevhead who was a host in the old "Holden vs Ford" chatroom in the old MSN Chat would you?

Well done on the great buy. It will be a milestone for you and as Black XR6 said it will be the first day of the rest of your life.
