AU's are the better car, anybody that has driven an AU to an BA back to back would know,
Anyway mate, go on buy the AU XR8 and have fun.

Ok much to everyones dissapointment, i got the red one...... its actually a 220 kw motor though which is good... The only reason for this is that i drive ALOT... i no that 140000kms isnt that much but in 3 years there will be about 200,000+ i just think that it is the better deal..... well i hope so anyway.... I was lookin for an AU XR8 anyway and i got one so im HAPPY!!! :sm_headba

Good One.... Enjoy.

LowEL2XR8 · 15-04-2009, 09:43 AM

At least its a 220kw. Good work there.
Let us all know how it all comes along.

Have fun with it mate, the AU 220's are pretty quick but if any of your mates LS1's have mods your going to have to spend some real $$$ to keep up.

redauxr8 · 15-04-2009, 11:30 AM

Unfortunately for me my mates have: VY clubsport series 2 350+kws... vx ss 300kws... xr6t 300RWKW and BA XR8... Im a better driver than all of em though :Reverend:

Thanks again everone, ill put some pics up soon

Nice buy mate, Venom Red is the best colour too,

BJ TE50 · 15-04-2009, 06:01 PM

Hey mate, did you come across my car in your searches? Here

Be interested to know what you think? It wont pull as many horses on the dyno as your mates cars, pull more chicks though

:

Congrats on the purchase anyway. They're great cars.

dreadly · 15-04-2009, 06:05 PM

redauxr8 · 15-04-2009, 06:08 PM

Anyway congratz on the T3 mate, and im sure your 8 will sell quick.... IS anything done to ur 8? exhaust etc

redauxr8 · 15-04-2009, 07:34 PM

Yeh i've been driving my mates BA XR8 and 6 Turbs for the last few months, i actually prefer everything the AU has over the BA BF.... Sounds better than the T and Boss to!

Cheers mate. Pity I didn't see this thread earlier. I listed the car on carsales then was told to pack my bags the next day and go to offshore NT indefinitely.

Car had standard mufflers swapped with sports mufflers. It actually sounds really good but no gain performance wise. I had intentions of doing a proper full system. Other than that its bog stock.

If any FF member wants the car I do good deal

Everyone knows Liquid silver is the best colour for an XR
