Default Re: I'm conflicted. AU or BA or BF XR8 coupe-utility?

i just sold my AU for a BA XR8, the BA is better in every respect but its potentially less reliable and more expensive to repair

and having an auto XR8 and a 5 speed GT i don't think the boss is lacking anything over an AU v8, the boss is faster by far, uses less fuel doing it
i have had 3 AU XR8's and the BA craps all over them in power, i'd still buy an AU XR8 but the current BA was much cheaper to buy

put it this way:
AU3 XR8 auto, nail it off the line and it chirps and goes, 0-100 in about 7 seconds
BA XR8 auto, nail it off the line and its smokes the tyres, 0-100 in about the same but i smoked the tyres doing it and about the same 7seconds with traction control on cutting the fun
