One more opinion:

I have the V8 and love it! But I have driven the T6 for more than a week, and can tell you that it is very capable, and almost feels quicker in around town traffic because the turbo spools up so fast. The V8 takes a little nudging, but is obviously faster overall. Best part about the V8 -- the growl!

I also selected the V8 because at the time it had some small options/trim I liked that weren't available on the T6.

I say you get a fully loaded T6, upgrade both turbos (The T6 is a twin-turbo right?), bump things up to a nice 15 PSI boost, get a tune on that, drop the car a nice inch and a half, put on some 19" Volutions, put in a nice FMIC and intake, rip out that Volvo exhaust and give it a grrrrrrr, and you've got a nice car.

Viv,
You always crack me up when I think about this straight laced, straight A, button down, Ivy league kid talking about a car like that...
