Guest gti-R man Guests Posted 30/09/04 08:55 PM Share Posted 30/09/04 08:55 PM gti-R man, after reading all you've said on Ford shouldve made the XR6T 270kw from the ford go, I feel I gotta say something. You've pointed out that Ford acknowledges that theres the Typical V8 buyers as well as the 6 cyl buyers, but ontop of that theres the performance buyers and those who'd go after whoevers claiming the higher numbers.....IF Ford made the XR6T 270kw, they may as well take the XR8 off the range, as they'd already have the 6 cyl, performance and #'s buyers going after them, and I'd be willing to bet anyone dedicated to V8's, wouldnt want to cop much more at the bar from the XR6T owners with faster AND more powerful cars, and to top it off, theyre cheaper as well....Sure, if the XR6T's taking sales off the XR8, its still money in Fords pocket, and sales to Ford, but if you had the choice between an XR6T and XR8, went for the XR6T cause it was the better car, just to find out you'd be up for several months on the waiting list, would you begin to consider something like a WRX or an SS? All fair points. Where do they draw the line I guess.Maybe if they made the XR6T 270kw abd the XR8 290 kw from the start maybe?but then what do we do the the GT and GTP. Go say 330. I guess the figures will just keep climbing, and wouldn't all the whinging goodietwoshoes groups just love that .The can't please everyone, but who it to say that the great Aussie V8 has to be fords most powerfull car? Mond sets can change. OMFG. the V8 boys will hate my guts for that little comment. Guess Ford got it pretty right though.

Although theyre claiming the GT is at its limits naturally aspirated, theyre surely continually trying to get more and more. alread anyway, DJR have shown them up with the HP320 and still say theres heaps more in the cams, heyve just got to play around with the rev limiters a bit. Theyre still yet to modify the Xr8's standard valve lift and compression I believe Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13116-racing-an-xr6-turbo/page/11/#findComment-171242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
