FiftyOne Bronze Donating Members 1,145 Member For: 11y 10m 10d Gender: Male Posted 21/05/15 10:33 AM Share Posted 21/05/15 10:33 AM I'm both happy there will be a final run, and sad that Ford canned the FPV range. They're just cashing in on the fact they've got a viable power pack sitting around and there was such a demand for the final FPV's. I think it really cheapens the brand.The guy I know has gone very very quiet now everytime I ask him something about it.... He knows something.

I find v8s tend to close the gap a bit though in 3rd/4th when the little turbo starts to feel really weakI agree about supercharged though he probably couldn't hook up/didn't want wheel spin in public Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90545-fords-final-xr6-turbo/page/3/#findComment-1545547 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He backed off pretty much as soon as he realised I had. Auto vs manual isnt apples for apples but the point is the thing was probably making some serious power and its amazing I even kept up. Sounded so good lol, my window was open and I was on his quarter so it was loud as fark. Sounded tough just bloody idling. Love a lumpy 8.The point is the barra is an impressive package and the way it develops power can easily surprise ppl between a set of lights.

Yeah, I was just thinking that I couldn't be the only one thinking about a Barra turbo mustang I'd be all over that. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90545-fords-final-xr6-turbo/page/3/#findComment-1545561 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah a stock fgt actually makes more power through a lot of the rev range.I'd say stock vf r8 would get pumped by a stock fgt easy Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90545-fords-final-xr6-turbo/page/3/#findComment-1545562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
