You probably have an STI turbo bolted on I assume????.against a stocker XR6T, u will win.against a stock car with an edit, line baller.who knows.. stock v stock, very close I imagine.. untill you get to the corners and the big six does an impression of the ozzie cricket team and waggs it tail.. Go to the drags and ask one of the boys for a run, I'm sure they'd jump at the chance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackwrx Member 181 Member For: 20y 2d Posted 23/02/05 07:17 AM Author Share Posted 23/02/05 07:17 AM I have been keeping an eye on the rexnet forum for a while and following that thread thanks.My car is running a VF23 Turbo, 3 inch exhaust turbo back, APS CAI, Hyperflow TMIC, I have not had it down the strip as we dont have one near by. I have been told the car would be good for high 12's / Low 13's.I am thinking I could either return my car back to stock and sell it or sell it as is privately.The XR's look pretty good I think and I wouldnt mind doing a couple of mods to one, but I was unsure of the performance.How much have the guys here spent on their XR6 Turbos?

My old rex was standard though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
