Even the SSV with its 260kw 515nm auto(closer price) doesn't get any power upgrades so like the article EXPLAINS, you'd have to spend close to 100k to match the power of the XR8.
These are muscle cars afterall.
You specifically said that only clowns would call them mismatched...

And hence the reason we were so keen to take the opportunity to drive these on-the-surface mismatched cars back to back.
So do I get to call you a goose now

My main point was that the XR8 is stealing the turbo I6's thunder anyway, which I think is unfair. Bang for buck, the XR6T/G6ET still deliver 90% of what you get from the 335, yet they're much cheaper.
