bunna Donating Members 813 Member For: 17y 7m 30d Posted 23/02/08 01:08 PM Share Posted 23/02/08 01:08 PM Will we be able to Mod the new XR Turbo or has ford put a stop to it?I was given a power figure today that the stock package is capable of. Several eyebrows were raised I can tell you.Oh, and besides that I know of a test xr6t that'll happily crack the 200mph mark.Ford actually encourages modding these things - from what I've been told you can hike your arse and $1900 over to FPV for a new exhaust and a flash tune and 300 killer wasps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunna Donating Members 813 Member For: 17y 7m 30d Posted 24/02/08 12:49 AM Share Posted 24/02/08 12:49 AM funny haha or funny lol?Not just hit - quite comfortably apparently.My source is quite good - I've actually been taken for a drive in the new falcon, so think what you will.Oh and the FPV tuning is available for the previous generations, and for the non FPV vehicles, not just the more expensive cars - but that's just what I've been told, could be that its just for ford employees or something specific like that.

Posted 24/02/08 11:22 AM Share Posted 24/02/08 11:22 AM The handbrake is self adjusting.Stop being so narrow minded!The suspension is new on the front and re-engineered on the rear, the steering is new, the engines have been significantly improved, turbo, exhaust and intake sytems have all been redesigned, 2 of the 3 gearboxes available are new, the ICC and interior controls are all new and add a heap of extra features.I've also heard the diffs are now ZF units but I'm not sure if that one is true.All very impressive to most here I imagine. I just hope it's enough to convince the average Joe Blow. Unfortunately we already have two so called respected journilists by the names of Julian Edgar & Will Hagon who couldn't be more unimpressed by the changes that have been made! they both seem to think Ford could have & should have done more exterior changes!
