I love my Fords and I'm looking at cars... I want to get a Standard BA XR6, I would much rather a turbo but can be a bit $$$ and due to these laws I cant have any performance upgrades so I was wondering how much different the turbo is to a standard XR6, other than the Turbo and chip.Sorry if its a Noob question but yeah I'm a little inexperienced in this area....Oh and would I be able to slowly build up a standard XR6 enough to be able to call it a turbo one day, and is it worth it?

Unfortunately there is quite a difference between the XR6 and Turbo, too must to list. The problem with being young apart from the laws prohibiting you buy a modified / turbo / v8 / supercharged car is insurance would be massive. From what I know you need to be on yours opens (not P's, which is 2 or 3 years??) to be able " to slowly build up a standard XR6 enough to be able to call it a turbo one day " in which case you've got quite a wait. By the time you are allowed to modify a car legally, BA's or even BF's Turbos will be in you price range. Tis a gloomy world for new drivers but the reasons behind it are sound....

Together with some slotted brake discs and maybe even sway bars, you'll have a bloody nice car for a 17-18 year old!Good luck mate, the turbo will be yours one day!

I think he's just being a typical Expensive Daewoo guy.
