Not even getting into economy and driveability but as has been mentioned driver choice is subjective and IMO nothing beats the sound of a V8 I have personally beaten a few XR8's and SS stock for stock T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both had 4sp autos. Raced a XR8 260 BOSS this week and I beat him by about 9 car lengths. A stock XR6T will not beat an stock XR8 260......1/4 mile times say differently, aswell as every MOTOR and WHEELS magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytooslow Member 12 Member For: 16y 2m 17d Posted 11/09/08 11:33 AM Share Posted 11/09/08 11:33 AM well,here goes,without offending everyone on this site can I first say I have been a ford man all my life, have owned some serious 351s and have wanted a xr6turbo since they first came out. well last week the missus finally caved in and I got a 03 citric acid auto and I honestly cant see what all the fuss is about, sure if your out on the open road and overtake its not too bad I spose but in standard form I dont reckon there that crash hot. so wher do I go from here, flashtuned, injectors, bigger intercooler, or do I go back to my roots and get an xr8. like I said im not here to piss anyone off im sure with a bit of work I could get it hopping but I just expected more,especially for the fuel it drinks (guzzles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosti NOT THERE!... THERE! Member 852 Member For: 16y 7m 5d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 11/09/08 11:32 PM Share Posted 11/09/08 11:32 PM Lube the boost solenoid, put some 98 octane fuel in it, grab yourself a K&N Filter and a Typhoon snorkel, then get a custom tune.If you're not seriously impressed after that I'll be very surprised.

XR6ts dont need much work to get them going spend 3-4k and 300+rwkw is easily achievable getting u low 12s to high 11s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
