But no, it hits you straight away. If you want to feel the "turbo" rush, it's better felt when you are a passenger. Mainly because you aren't prepared for what the drivers foot does (that's what I recon anyways). Oh and Dr Z's comment on the 98RON fuel is probably spot on. But if all else fails, modding a T isn't that expensive really.

Zeke zeke Member 792 Member For: 21y 10m Location: Adelaide Posted 26/06/04 02:01 AM Share Posted 26/06/04 02:01 AM My reaction to first test drive in a T.......gotta get one of these!!!! Simple as that. IMHO, if it doesn't impress you, somethings wrong with the car.....or you just stepped out of an A55 AMG or similar.

I bought mine a week later and sold the Commondoor. Cold nights mean serious fun though, now why does that traction control light come on all the time. :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11490-dissapointed-with-test-drive/page/3/#findComment-137627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
