    Depends what you want to use it for really. If you want to go touring/towing, the Td5 is definitely the way to go. If you just want to go tooling around on tracks not far from home, get a V8 on gas.

    If it's to be a daily driver, then go the Td5 as you will be a very poor man keeping up with 20(+?)ltr/100km around town at $1.50/ltr or so we can expect over the coming 12 months and beyond

    Thats my opinion anyway

    a standard TD5 isnt in the same ball park as a V8.

    The ONLY reason to buy a rattler is fuel economy.

    The V8 does everything else better.

    '10 to '21
    '16.5 RRS SDV8
    '21 to Infinity and Beyond!

    Yes but ecu map and few little things from Tombie or Kelvin (discothrasher)can turn a td5 into rocket for well under a $1000.
