But please no twin double exhausts.  Twin system single pipe either side is so much better.

What would you guys do?
If you get into a FGII GT just under $50,000 with about 5000ks on it OR Wait for the new XR8 Im thinking this would be about mid $40,000s |

Wait for the specs on the new xr8 and decide when the info is available, the gt will always be better though.

In any event, comparing the two is not a like for like comparison, because there was no Fairmont Ghia Turbo. Therefore, G6ET sales should be discounted, leaving the comparison only between the G6/G6E four and six cylinders with Fairmont / Fairmont Ghia sixes and V8s. The very fact that the G Series range had been expanded over and above the B-Series Fairmont range (including the hero G6ET) may account for the increase in percentages rather than the name change itself.

So were they the neon-looking tail lights mate? Both brake and tail sections? Well done BTW.

Welcome guys. Sorry for the bad photos, was very dark and had to be sneaky with the phone while driving. Tail lights looks very neon ish. Front end looks very nice too, I'm excited!
I should add that the ICC screen looked huge!

Hence, he is a very powerful person with lots of correct info on things, like the FH XR6T having 310kw's, how one drawing is spot on without seeing the actual car in full himself, and how the Mustang is totally crap and not as well known as the Falcon, and the Miami is the best coyote variant out there.... Very passionate about his falcons though, and put his money where his mouth is and is one of the few owners of a Ecoboost.

Good question though, essentially the same car just comes down to those two letters really. For those who are getting a XR8 I thought of some plates last night...WHATGT Quote:

I'd be very surprised if the XR8 was GT spec with a different badge, many of the parts will be toned down I think.
