It would be interesting to see how much you could get out of the 5cyl jobbie.Im a fan, but not before a turbo.First things first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the lack of RWD is a concern.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the price of fuel these days the new Focus is a great proposition I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FatBAt Guests Posted 24/02/06 08:30 PM Share Posted 24/02/06 08:30 PM I don't care what they call it, but I think the "XR" thing should be left to the falcons. They even used the same badge as the XR6 Turbo. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I agree since the XR was the 1st FALCON GT....not FocusA bit of trivia...Did you know that the 1st GT Falcon had a massive (?) 168kws.....Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has variously been argued: eXperimental Racer and a few other names that escape my memory. Here are some references for you, IF you are interested.What Started it All.Various 1980's XR'sSierra's in the States wore XR badges too.Heavens T-betsy! Even a convertible laser was badged XR!Lumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
