EATURBO New Member 9 Member For: 21y 10m 30d Posted 16/11/04 10:13 AM Share Posted 16/11/04 10:13 AM Still think it is good value, its not that much more than an XR6T and it has bigger brakes, GT interior, GT body kit,18 inch wheels bigger intercooler ,stronger conrods, oil cooler, and its a FPV, you could upgrade to 350kw with standard cooler and with probably just a uni chip rods will handle way more than standard ones to Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13819-typhoon-14-miles/page/17/#findComment-187860 Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I don’t mind if it doesn’t meet the quoted numbers its still one hell of a beast. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Dont know about the huge fuel savings, our gen III uses less than our xr6t, and factor in the displacement on demand function of the gen IV and I think it would use less petrol, not that it really matters.

In the meantime, the street legal sub 5 0-100km/hr, 12 seconds 1/4 mile APS Phase II XR6T will do me just fine. Safe and happy driving...Dr Z. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I'd like to compare the times for MOTOR tested LS2 and phoon before I can say which car will be faster. I'm not interested in what HSV and Ford have supplied because who knows what their intentions are.

Its a US only thing anyway, when ever it arrives. We will never see it in the loca product unfortunately.
