Question AUII/III XR8 as a weekend toy

Im tossing up whether to get a manual AUII/III XR8 for a weekend toy.

Problem is I drive an auto 5.4 3V for a daily and am thinking the combination of the AUs great, well tied down handling and the 200/220kw windsor may not provide the fun factor I'm after. I am operating on the premise "if it isn't much more fun to drive than my 3V why bother".

Just looking for owners ideas and experiences with them fun factor wise.

I am also tossing up buying a Sprint which of course has the collectability factor over the AU.

What do you recommend?
