    Both Ford and Holden reached the pinnacle with their final models...and then they were gone. One of the saddest moments in Aussie history. I know why...but seeing how amazing this car is it's still very painful to swallow.

    One of my mates was a development tester for Ford, at the period when this car was made. We had a prototype to test and put kilometers on - he'd share the car with us and we'd all have a drive. One interesting thing to note - the engineers apparently tweaked the supercharger by removing some rubber seal which gave more whine. The production cars with the Miami engine were quieter.
    I remember my first time driving the Miami. It was a revelation compared to the old 5.4 and felt like an utter rocketship.

    Great review of the XR8 Holy Grail. I didn’t know they only sold 47 of the 100 kits but it doesn’t surprise me. With the costs of the kit and some people wanting to keep their XR8 stock even if they could have afforded it. The kit sure transforms the car, power and handling wise. It’s a great looking and sounding car. Thanks for the review.

      $$$$ and is just a kit at the end of the day. potential buyers probably didn't see the kitted cars holding value in the same way as something that rolled out of the factory as a limited edition would have, and that's half the appeal to those buying them I think. That said, the fact there is only 47 now probably will help their future value I guess

Yes, Ford did a great job on the budget they had, no argument, but just like this awesome PREMCAR XR8 they never followed through when there was an opportunity to upstage Holden_ … _you can’t take away from GM the way they supported the performance arm of Holden, IMO_

    For 45k is a bit too much, for that money is could build an xr8 over 1000hp. There are places doing 1000hp kits for 25k and you will still have enough money left over.
    For 600hp plus people are only paying 10k to 17k. Depends where you go.
    I remember herrod did a package for 1000hp for 25k
    If you do handling upgrade, 3k to 4k on suspension and 3k to 4k on Better brakes.
    25k+14k= 39K, still much cheaper.

      they were made to order so if they stopped at 47 then that's it, remember these Premcar kits are not "official" Ford backed and Premcar waited until the 3 year warranty has ended for all FG and FG-X before they even announced that the "Holy grail" kits could be installed as Ford Australia probably told them that owners would loose warranty if they did mods to the vehicles.
      It's the same thing that happened to Peter Brock "HDT" when GMH told them no to the VL Commodore getting IRS for the Director and other Commodores that HDTwanted to do, the difference here is that Premcar waited Peter did not and thus would of voided warranty of those cars he did mod (some 14 that converted).

    So thats 480 flywheel KW❓️My manual Sprint makes almost 450RWKW with injectors & a tune on PCMTEC. Way too overpriced for 40K & I didn't even pay close to 1% of that value for my tune🤷🏼‍♂️⁉️

      I’m sure this is to the wheels.. it has the dyno graph in the engine bay.. also just injectors fuel pump and a tune will get you about 600whp in a Miami

    Nice car and kit. But for that money a HSV GTSR W1 was bettter because it was all OEM.
    Also the LS9 the one that comes in the W1 that is a bone stock out of the factory crate engine LS9. No mods have been done to it.
    So imagine company like premcar took the W1 and did the same work that premcar did imagine how much power that LS9 would make?
    In the states we have LS9 with just a pulley and intake and header and exhaust and tune with is just bolt ons making over 1000 rwhp
    Not shitting on the Ford. One amzing car. But you habe to give credit where its due. The W1 is one amazing machine in stock form if your comparing a car with extensive mods to it. Just saying bro.
