Cheers man,

I used to own a BA XR8 a few years ago and always loved the sound of the 5.4, the Miami is nice but a GS is just a XR8 really anyway.
I have driven a 355 GT for the day and it was good but wasn't that excited over it.
Cost is another thing a Miami is going to be a good 12k more on the base car plus parts, exhaust, intake, intercooler and blower snout.
A 5.4 will produce more torque than a Miami of the same power, the only real down fall is the weight which can be overcome with a alloy block

That was my thoughts anyways, haha
