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

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.

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. |

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  _2: Everyone knows Liquid silver is the best colour for an XR
