We're still to see a supercharged xr8 pull some good times, if you were to do it I recon there would be a better challenge in being the fastest NA or better still twin turbo's.

Flukey Seriously Flukey Member Donating Members 4,354 Member For: 21y 2m 17d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 10/06/05 08:52 AM Share Posted 10/06/05 08:52 AM Craig, it sounds like you've got itchy feet and need a new project. How far are you prepared to go now with your current car or are you happy with where its at? Your challenge will be to get the right money for your T but as you say, you can't lose from putting it on the market. And if it doesnt sell, you still have the fastest T in Oz which cant be a bad thing. Good luck.

If your going to sell, do it before Spiko or bcl hit the track...

Who know you might be able to break more records in rumble.. You have achieved so much with your T.. You have given all us guys something to work too. But then again.. Id love to see what you can do to an Xr8 cikas Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/18157-possibly-selling-my-car-for-new-project/page/2/#findComment-261801 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueboost Member 1,204 Member For: 21y 12d Gender: Male Location: Mackay NorthQueensland Posted 10/06/05 12:21 PM Share Posted 10/06/05 12:21 PM I think either one is good, but remember the power is not a problem with the xr6t , you can get another 50 kw out of it with inlet and some other small mods, but it is the driveline that is the weak link, (but that is the same in both) is the twin turbo legal ? With the right convertor your car has the ability to run a ten, (street trim) would be nice to see that first. and I think it is worth thinking how you would feel if it never could match your six, because it is very posible. it is heavier than your six so more strain on your driveline, but there is allways the sound. david Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/18157-possibly-selling-my-car-for-new-project/page/2/#findComment-261846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
