351 Member 184 Member For: 20y 8m 22d Posted 05/08/04 11:30 AM Share Posted 05/08/04 11:30 AM I just bought a ba xr8 in blueprint and I am new to this forum so excuse my lack of knowledge please. Anyway I was thinking about starting mods to it, but what are some good times to expect from what you guys have achieved so far?PS this is my first decently powered car so I am still quite happy with it even in stock form, but cant wait till I can confidently hose off those pesky rexs and gti-r's.

Posted 05/08/04 02:30 PM Share Posted 05/08/04 02:30 PM I know of an XR8 Ute that has run 13.4-13.5 at Calder. I haven't heard of any quicker, but there could be.Geea.

Guest Big Mick Guests Posted 06/08/04 12:14 AM Share Posted 06/08/04 12:14 AM Theres a phantom XR8 ute that runs at Calder regularly. It's supercharged and has run a 13.0x. Not sure if it has dipped into the 12's yet.Great looking car.Mick Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12185-fastest-14-mile-ba-xr8/#findComment-151441 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypnodoc has done quite a few engine mods to his GT and I think Genebaby has the helix throttle body spacer on his XR8.

P.S.I Member 229 Member For: 21y 11m 16d Location: sydney Posted 06/08/04 03:31 AM Share Posted 06/08/04 03:31 AM I know its not a XR8, but there was a guy at the recent WSID street meet in an auto GT-P. I think his best time was a 13.9 with only 2500Kms on the clock. So you could figure an XR8 is bit lighter but with less power would do a 14.3 - 14.5 ??I also wonder if the Boss260 performs better with the auto. This seems to be the case with the T.CheersPSI Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12185-fastest-14-mile-ba-xr8/#findComment-151519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
