wife was driving when we leathered the r8 ! maybe wasnt trying that hard but it goes hard for sure ! we almost bought a VE SS. deposit paid , the lot. the dealer let us down so we bought the 50th.
quite possibly the manual against what i reckon is a crap auto in the VE had something to do with it but the xr6t can get up and boogie for sure ! hated the auto in the SS we drove. jumped 2 gears and revved out when one gear would have been enough !
more hp than the SS and more torque. 566nm at 1800 rpm ! from there its a hard pull to the red line but not needed ! very smooth power but ballistic !

Ah manual.. lol maybe a 15.xx something? haha
i dunno i'd say it would have to be pretty close in a roll on with a 317 and xr6t manual? not sure about off the line.

Lol at thrashing the new cars, happens all the time i bet, i know i used to give all the new Yamaha bikes i test rode a good 'test'! lol.

We had never owned an auto till we came to OZ in 08 so a manual was always going to be the chosen one ! very very rare car, lightning strike 50th anniversary XR6T manual. as far as i am aware, there are no others in QLD and unsure of how many were made in total ? . unlike the VE SS or 317's. something different ! :cool:

dunno about the holdens ? but since there were only 600 50th anny xr6t's, 550 of which auto, It will be safe to assume the chances of finding a silver manual will be very low don't you think ? :roll:

holdens are being made year on year, the 50th anny ford is exactly that, a 2010 car not to be repeated ! I see 317's almost every day, not rare afaik and shit loads more $$$ for what ???

dont get me wrong, If i had the money, I'd have a VE SS wagon in the drive for sure ! :cool:

The 50th anny was all options exluding sunroof for the same price as a normal xr.

Wheels, body kit slightly changed, reverse sensors, full leather, dual climate, premium sound, polished black dash inserts, steering wheel and little shit like stickers and different mats and shit.

Good deal I think, my old mans was 47k drive away.
