Lightbulb So No V8 Ute are you getting a GS?

With the departure of our awesome V8 utes in FG guise and the return of the mighty XR8 in sedan :( what is your gameplan?

Buy Gs in the near future (now)?
Wait till Xr8 Sedan not fussed about solid axle action?
Or wait longer till Mustang fun something new?
maybe get a GT Price....mmmm?

It's a good time right now if you have the cash and or good credit rating and some deposit money.

I have a had a few thinking days regarding getting the last Maimi powered Ute's or waiting and seeing?

Let's discuss Gents.

Might trade my Fez in... Octane FPV ute Manual with leather... must not drool..

Why if you wanted a ute would you buy a sedan?

Hi MPXF

how much cash including engine would you think it would cost to do such a thing?

And has anyone ever done a complete swap?
