Talking Took my new XR8 for a blast last night.

After picking up my BA XR8 on Monday I finally got to go for a decent squirt in it last night. Im stoked :1syellow1 , such a different car to my EB, runs so sweet , and the way it just loves to rev! feels a bit lazy down low but once it hits 3-3500 grand its just party time, turns in so well, brakes felt pretty good but I didnt give them a hard workout preferring to concentrate getting used to a different powerband and six spd. Shift felt a bit notchy but gearbox great,aside trom a little driveline slop,Im stoked :1syellow1
My only real criticism would be when I downchange I heel and toe, and with the electronic throttle you cant just give the acc.pedal a little pat between changes, feels like you have to push it down too far to get the engine to respond,that and the lack of a left foot rest. But Im still stoked !!!:1syellow1
: : : :
Cant wait for cold air kit, dual exhaust and edit : :
Did I mention that Im stoked? Must change my username :eclipsee_
