XR-8 Bonnet On An XR-6 Turbo

[Guest]

So you aint even driving a T and you want a V8 bonnet ?Im having enough trouble judging the bloody front (parking,missing those high kerbs etc) So Id get my arse into one for a while first Dazz then decide.

The functionality would come of you wanted to use larger diametre intercooler piping and get rid of the flat pancake style crossover on top of the engine.

I haven't done the exact measurements to see how and exactly where the XR-8 bonnet increases the area, but by looking at it, it would be pretty much where you need it.

I believe that is exactly what Herrod's Intentions are..

I have had a few drives of various T's, and XR-8's, and don't find the bonnet to hinder vision from a judgement point of view, but reckon it looks horn from behind the wheel.

I would not consider buying a car without driving it beforehand, and doing a lot of research about the good and bad points, which is why I like this forum, becasue you get great feedback about peoples experiences with the cars.

It definately depends on personal taste, but I reckon you should go for it if you like it. I believe in personalisations of cars and the bulge does look good. I would do something to my XR6T if I was to get one as well (thinking Fairmont chrome trimming around the car for one). :wink:

Heh, what about people putting TURBO badges on the back of their N/A XR6s? :D

Personally I would do it

makes the car look more aggressive and it is not the only defining feature of the XR8 so you could still tell them appart.

I am supprised that ford did not release this as part of the XR6T any way would probly boost sale little more as it looks

like a more aggressive sports car.

but again each to his/her own

I'm not touching it this time round!! :D

oh no ......... can't help myself ........ :(

With the amount of months you have to wait for an XRT, I don't think Ford would be concerned with 'boosting sales' - seems to sell itself just fine!! And I am thinking ....... if I saw an XRT coming towards me with an XR8 bonnet, what are the other 'defining features' that tells them apart??

(Hey BLKXRT - note I didn't actually comment on the bonnet itself ....... :D )

the gang is all here again :lol: :D

[Mondie]

oh no !!!!!!!!!!!!

it's back :lol: :lol:
