The BA handles better, brakes better, is more refined and has an extra 130 odd kw to boot.

Be something very wrong if it didnt eh all things considered,never owned an XA but the XT sedan,XW ute and XYGS i owned were all rock solid,the XY got thrashed hard both on sealed and unsealed roads and never once a complaint,same went of the old mans XY ute which in 74 had 351C/dash/grill etc etc the thing was driven hard and never faulted,to me anyway the whole idea of GT was a car to be driven hard no matter what the road etc,jesus the thing was born in Australia.I defy anyone to attempt the same in a similar titled Ford these days,be a toss up what went first the rims or the front spoiler or as i am finding out you would virtually be bought to a standstill to pick up the bits of interior falling off.Dont get me wrong i love the XR8 ute i recently bought even though it feels like a dinosaur compared to a couple of Skylines i owned prior to it but all said n done nothing makes me smile like cocking my ear out the window and hearing that 8.
