Nothing beats the sound of a supercharged V8. Edited 08/04/10 07:10 AM by NB4C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it if the sc would be on the XR models? or am I wrong...im confused. if the sc is on all models wouldnt FPV just wind up the boost and play with intake and or the exhuast bits?

If Ford are using the SC to produce 315kw from their xr8, FPV will have to respond with 330kw+... more boost etc. Brillliant! There is no way I'd buy a HSV over one of these!

The base 5L in the Mustang has ~307kw, that's the same ammount Expensive Daewoo had from their 6.2L sitting in the first VE Clubbys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
