Theres a reason why Ford make falcons, cause Expensive Daewoo make commies, Subie make wrx's cause Mitsu make evo's.I had a run in with an STi 2 door (private road). Sounded and looked modded (cooler,exhaust) and I had only a tune. It launched like it was connected to elastic bands, I started to reel it in, but honestly had no chance...

Engine that smashed limiter oftenFor a second there, I thought your first line was describing a ford... (fuel, leaks, driveline shunt..).BUT I can understand how you think.. You owned a bugeye after all All in jest however and I really do love Ford (the bedspread, beermats, posters etc prove this!)No.Just describing the REX. Just as overated as toyotas.lol Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/39796-wrx-vs-xr6t/page/6/#findComment-768941 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have only beat the driver and not the car but third gear vs third gear the difference was epic Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/39796-wrx-vs-xr6t/page/6/#findComment-769000 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon my BF 6speed would be good for high 13's in stock form.From a speed point of view its hard to argue with guys like XR6T EGO (WA member). Basic mods on the ZF netted him an 11.8. Looking at his mods list I'd say he spent 3K. Pretty good effort. On a wrx that'd get u autronic, CAI and maybe 2nd hand fmic. Then your gonnna need turbo / exhaust etc. The big ford is an easy car to mod. But then it should be with big turbo / 4 litres. Downside is the weight... But then again they Veyron is heavier.. Guess that's what 2 or 3 million bucks does though!Although the lib STi's are a great package!ROFL@SMICKY! My mate bought one and came on our track day. "What mazda is that" asks Dean... But its growing on me.Imagine if ford made the XR5 an AWDT platform. Would be an XR6T killer for sure!. White, dumped on factory rims, blue racing stripes and dark tint FTW!
