I've had a couple of stock efi 5.0's and one done up one. They are pretty dismal when they are stock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been through many cars and many bike - the XR6T is the 1st one that doesn't leave me needing to ride the bike every night when I get home. 1 hour ago, arronm said: And this was totally LAME. drove one and laughed. They were "Tuff" back then. Early 2k's we got stuck with plastic cars and dealer special 185kw's as the new hotness. 15 second 1/4 as a selling point? Our mums drive more potent beasts than that these days. Took 40+ years, but we finally got to the stage where our decent cars weren't slugs compared to what we grew up with when dad was driving.
