Guest blackout Guests Posted 08/05/03 02:07 AM Share Posted 08/05/03 02:07 AM I believe to begin with the XR6turbo was 270kw but was detuned to stay below the XR8. That is what I was told by someone who works for ford.

Guest natser Guests Posted 15/05/03 05:22 AM Share Posted 15/05/03 05:22 AM The series 2 will get a BTR 6 speed auto. I live very close to the BTR factory and know a lot of people who have worked on the new boxes. They were planned for the Series 1 but reliability was an issue in testing with the power of the new engines.

XR8 buyers are pissed off enough with the lack of performance, 280kw would just destroy them :D .

The factory has been upgraded and taken on more employees as recently as a month ago.

CDAA WASP GT Member 138 Member For: 22y 5m 24d Location: Adelaide Posted 22/05/03 12:38 PM Share Posted 22/05/03 12:38 PM ok, my thoughts for series 2...220BA models = 230kW with improved gearingXR6T = 240kw- 250kW, however with new XR8 5 speed box. Auto will be the same as current.XR8 + 270kw with improved torque spread and gearing.GT + 300kw with improved gearingAverage weight reduction over the entire range will be around 50kg. V8 BOSS models may get alloy blocks. XR6T will have bonnet flutes and the name will be modified to XR6T rather than Turbo and come standard with 18". The XR8 will also come standard with 18".Finally, the XR6T will increase in cost to around $48k.

Posted 09/06/03 02:34 AM Share Posted 09/06/03 02:34 AM You have a good point BLKXRT but I don't think ford has much choice:Can't see the 8 getting dropped, ever... To many Aussies think if it's not an 8 it's not worth owning, and ford tried that before XE to XF. :nugget: As for the T, surely with a 4 month waitlist that says something? I think they got the T spot on for the target audience: 30 somethings who want technology and performance in an australian car. B) well they certainly got me :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/2359-series-2-rumors-or-fact/page/2/#findComment-27455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
