You will also have that lovely screaming sound of the SC which will be backed up with a tuff V8 note. "Awesome" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been for a spin in a phoon and it felt dam quick but I didnt realise that they were a low 12 sec car stock!! Crazy FMC, they need togo down toyotas path and make em more conservative...12 sec stock is dangerous for all the dumb dumbs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 03/09/07 03:07 PM Share Posted 03/09/07 03:07 PM (edited) Haha yeah they are pretty crazy for a stock car... Wish I had one Good luck with the 12 sec pass mate I think the most cost effective way to do it is beef the auto and slap a charger on!!!

The best time I've seen a phoon run was a 12.8. Either way they are very quick off the show room floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I would firm up shifts and just tweak fords program... but in a T we can add boost and that's where we get most of our extra power from, but for an XR8, what are the gains?Fitting a S/C is alot of $$$, like $5000+ spend that on a T and you would be running 11's hehehe But seriously good luck mate, charge it and whine all the way home....Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
