lowfly Member 107 Member For: 18y 8m Posted 28/02/06 03:10 PM Share Posted 28/02/06 03:10 PM Finally got down to Perth yesterday and parked up the xr8 and drove away in the turbo.Disapointed in performance at first as it only had 2k on clock. Quite a hot day etc, was hoping it would improve heaps. Left Perth at 5am this morning in cooler air and noticed a bit of an improvement, by the time I got to Carnarvon( about 1000km from rockingham)performance had changed heaps, now it gets up.Fuel consumption was great for tight engine, 13.4l/100km at 120-130 kliks.(auto)Car has I-design interior with leather and p/sound. Sweeeet!Droped into see Simon@ xtreme ford tuning about some upgrades shortly, glad I did. He took me for a spin his wifes xr6t and I thought that was impresive untill he rollled out that black F6. Now that car is totally nuts, words cannot describe what it"s like, you just gotta go for a ride, f###ing mental!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
