When we left, he jumped into an X5 and drove off. Oh - and let me say - he isnt an "old man" driver... he really can drive!

turbo4wd Member 25 Member For: 21y 8m 16d Posted 01/09/03 03:46 AM Share Posted 01/09/03 03:46 AM The reasons for the RWD only Territory is it would be cheaper, use less fuel and maybe a bit lighter (no front driveshafts, standard RWD g/box, no transfercase) .. Its a bit like how Honduh make a FWD only CRV as well as the 4WD one. I am very keen to see the FPV T6 - should be a big seller. Its a pitty they dont make a 400kw turbo six GTHO but hey it would be too fast and if they use a s/c V8 then it will make it more fun for the boosted XR6T boys to leave in the dust Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/5624-fpv-t6-gtho/page/2/#findComment-47068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DadWontLetMeDriveIt Member 10 Member For: 21y 11m 27d Posted 06/09/03 03:43 PM Share Posted 06/09/03 03:43 PM personally if about 280kw for an fpv turbo is true then it dissapoints me a little, although its what I expected...imo I think if fpv were going to do a turbo is that they should have positioned it above the gt, rather than below.. so like 330 or so kw for a turbo fpv and then 350+ kw for a gtho range topper (both not inconceivable numbers as we know)... although its early speculation, if fpv werent doing a turbo or if the turbo was going to be positioned above the gt, they woulda stopped those rumors pretty quick... so I think its likely there is some truth to it.I have a few hassles with a 280kw fpv turbo though...it would mean ford might cop some criticism when after market companies are getting way more than that. I mean a $1500 boost chip can get that cant it? and second no doubt like the xr6t is arguably better than the xr8 the fp6 turbo would probably be better than the gt. it sounds as though "280kw" rather than striving to extract maximum performance they have been striving to make sure it dosent put out bigger numbers than the gt.must admit though it would probably only be $55-58k and would probably kick a clubbie's arse could be a great thing for ford, taking sales from both the ss and the clubbie... but wouldnt something that was $65 - 68k and could kick a gts's arse be just as good??? I guess from a sales perspective no... but I still think its a cool idea...
