They certainly make up for it once you hit about 50km/h.

Nothing worse than having some VL Turbo loser next to you gassing the throttle at the red light and then there also being some awesome eye candy passing by at the same time!!!Which do I watch?? I wanna teach this little punk a lesson... but... the eye candy.... *drool* haha.It's a bad scene I know LOL... I'm sure most if not all of the people on this forum know what you mean!Cheers,Ross Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/33481-why-is-the-xr6t-so-dead-off-the-mark/page/4/#findComment-511983 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought something that a 5k rice banger pizza delivering 4 pot bitsash*ty could beat my fresh built turbo 6!Plus, not that I plan to, but did someone say that they cant smoke their bf auto off the line either?!? I didnt try during the test drive, (even though the guy kept telling me to give it some herbs).What have I done Should I be saving for an edit straight up? or trade it in!!!Felixp.s. previous cars in order; fwd corolla --> TD Gemini panel van --> (every Expensive Daewoo produced during 2004, was a Expensive Daewoo new car salesman) --> tradein 4cyl rodeo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/33481-why-is-the-xr6t-so-dead-off-the-mark/page/4/#findComment-512176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you do use some brake it does it very easily.
