XRBloke Donating Members 1,219 Member For: 21y 9m 26d Posted 08/05/04 07:59 AM Share Posted 08/05/04 07:59 AM I seen another article today on the BA DJR 320 XR8, and the only part I really found impressive was the wheels and the spoiler, otherwise I found it boring. I read somewhere not long ago that it only pulls 14.8 down the quarter mile, is this right??? Seems to me that its a little overpriced for the gains you get. Maybe Dick should have done a turbo six instead Anyways whats everyone elses thoughts......

XRBloke Donating Members 1,219 Member For: 21y 9m 26d Posted 08/05/04 09:47 AM Author Share Posted 08/05/04 09:47 AM Hey settle down you two, your both poofs. Overall the kit would look alot better without that stupid bonnet thing. The one in performance magazine was Mercury Silver, and gezzus the paint matching was BAAAAADDDD. My biggest concern is the poor power result, a Turbo would beat it pretty much in stock format, that's bullsh*t...

Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 7d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 08/05/04 09:54 AM Share Posted 08/05/04 09:54 AM I do nto like the car at all.There is so much DJR crap written all over the place. It looks like a $90k DJR ad. Even HSV do not have 20 of their badges all over the place The seats look ricey....for them matter the whole car look ricey, It just needs a huge whaletale to cap it off. :lol: The rear wing is about the only thing I like Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10610-ba-xr8-djr-320/#findComment-119914 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mondie Firm Member Donating Members 2,924 Member For: 22y 5m 20d Location: Adelaide Hills Posted 08/05/04 10:15 AM Share Posted 08/05/04 10:15 AM Its overpriced IMO but l like the look of it. l loved the early T series as it was inspired by more reserved European sports cars (M5 etc) and this car is along those lines, until you see the bonnet 'thing" which goes against the style of the rest of the car The brakes are well OTT, the next step up from Brembos, why?? Warranty is a gray area, buggered if l know how you would go about getting an issue resolved such as driveline shunt l expect resale will be terrible, its already looking bad for FPV's (especially Pursit) and this car appeals to an even more limited market, has warranty uncertainties and insurnace could be difficult for some people. Anyone want a 3 yr old Corsa?l'd definitely have one....if l wasnt paying.
