I was advised to go for an VR8 as the XR6 turbo may run hot.May I please get some feedback and personal opinions as I do want to go for the XR6 Turbo.Kind regardsJim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few guys on here with lots of track experience so someone will chime in. Bigger aftermarket radiator would be in order too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
