Probably see if we can come down with the XR6T crew next time it's all happening. There is also another member looking at doing things using home grown tech for the most part so some interesting things going on.I'll keep yall posted on how it all goes. They'll never be able to produce the power of their big XR6Ts brothers, but I tell u what, their corner to corner performance is pretty awesome. Still, Ford need to get more fecking XR5Ts into the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if the Golf GTi (and other Euro manfacturers) can do it, so can Ford.it would be nice if they were the AWD varients not a nose pushing FWD← Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
