He is currrently looking at a Ba2 GT with all basics, a Brand new XR8 (BF) with a six speed auto or their is currently a Ba2 6sp man XR8 with herrod modifcations done threw ford. I think the mods include zorst, induction, lowerd (not sure weather has the koni's or not?). short shifter and a few other herrod goodies. Apparently around 7G worth.So this is his choice has anyone driven these, I know what yous are all thinking go the TURBO... I have tried to push him in that direction but he wants the V8 note... Do you think it would be better for a new BF or the Ba2 Xr8 ?? or would the GT blow them both away ???Thanks for any help Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20529-which-to-choose/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordmanzwis Member 28 Member For: 19y 8m 2d Gender: Male Location: Gladstone Posted 06/10/05 06:57 AM Author Share Posted 06/10/05 06:57 AM Thanks, I to think a BF would be a good buy, if he got one what do you think would be the best mod for it ? as I presume the XR6 turbo will reign king in the ford camp... Has anyone had a drive in a XR8 with a six speed auto? I have read the ford sites about no power upgrade for the XR8.. seems bit pointless. All in all why abit more work into the 3 valve and get some more pwer and put it in the XR8.. (note sarcasm) really ford Cmon the V8 should be the dominate car so why not give it duel VCT too.. thanks for all your resposes to Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20529-which-to-choose/#findComment-302184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
