I do have a mate that has a x- Race Murry Carter XE Group C Falcon that may be looking to put it on the dyno at some point in a few months so he may come along and run it up..If Anyone has any pics of this puppy racing that would be great.. No 18...Good idea. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/3484-dyno-day-in-melbourne-details-first-post/#findComment-21631 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Group C XE is a maybe. It will depend if the gets the motor back toghether in time. Alternatively it could be a X-race Group C A9X sedan. (this little chev goes like the clappers.. Not as good as the XE though!) :D Both are maybe's so dont count on them being there...
