Besides 275 hoosiers do the job just fine at the drags. But as said in the 300s is the sweet spot. I found my car the most fun with around 550rwhp, can play with it so it dosnt smoke the tires but if you wanted to then its still easy enough. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91431-honest-question-about-xr6-turbo-vs-ve-v8/page/4/#findComment-1572762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 4m 25d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 03/12/15 11:48 PM Share Posted 03/12/15 11:48 PM (edited) Frostyboy here in WA came along for a cruise once and claimed my car was more fun than his (he has a manual with some BS amount of power, 500rwkw at least) because I can stamp on the go pedal and it grips instead of just smoking the tyres and constantly having to feather the throttle. Short story from Racewars where we had a rolling start 400m drag race You can see him struggling for traction when we pass the rolling start line (about 100m in) and me in front until he gets to 4th I think. We cross the 400m mark with him only about a car in front despite having loads more power. Might have been even closer if it was a standing start!

Mate wants over 400 so it should be interesting to see how they compare when everything is done.

GKGSJQKS Banned 259 Member For: 9y 10m 2d Gender: Not Telling Posted 04/12/15 03:37 AM Share Posted 04/12/15 03:37 AM Yeah that's one of the prerequisites for me as I don't want a lot of power if I can't make use of it. It's mainly going to be a street car with the occasional track day.

Quick enough for the street and doesn't chew through hardparts.(relative to how savagely the power/torque is brought on by the tuner obviously) 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91431-honest-question-about-xr6-turbo-vs-ve-v8/page/4/#findComment-1572805 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough to chop most stock performance cars out there as long as you have decent rubber, not enough to snap input shafts! Usually anyway.

Not cheap but you get used to 300 & 400rwkw pretty quickly.
