For those of you that knew my GTO lets just say the way the xr6t sits now i would drive past it in a drag like it was nothing

Im wrap its awesome to drive and boy does it go :eek:

I guess that sort of figure doesn't involve any invassive measures as required with the now superseeded LS1 5.7!

I can see the value of the XR6T. Will be even more when the F6 is released :burnout: :burnout:

Well done

Sounds like another forced weapon... I have thought about the road several time, though the wife will not have a bar of any car that has the Ford badge

Do me a favour though, every time somthing brakes, needs a tune up, needs changing, needs updating, post it on here... I would be interested to see how relaible they are with this HUGE amount of power...

If they can withhold this power for 12 months of thrashing... i might just have to by a weekend car... :D

they are pretty tuff you can around 350rwkw from the standard engine before you might start breaking things , and even then to build a strong engine doesnt cost that much

The only real weak point is the gear box but with the new 6 speed coming out i think they have fixed that too

The diff and tail shaft setup underneath is much stronger than the holden setup

But yeah i will keep you posted because this car will be at calder soon so if anything is going to break it will break then with slicks on

Cheers,

Hope it all goes well...

Can you make an AVI of your 0-200 time... I wanna see that speedo going from 100-200 as i think thats where the thing sets fly... You might have to get a light weight speedo needle to keep up :lol:

great work Adam!!

So how is the T5 holding up at the moment?
Have you done anything at all to the driveline?

the drivelines are tuff

the t5 is fine for the moment but like all things there is alot of rumours that this is weak and that is weak but im yet to find someone that have killed a gear box from pure power
