Posted 06/04/10 08:30 AM Share Posted 06/04/10 08:30 AM I see...I heard that FPV are dropping the Pursuit range so the xr8 will be the only option if you want a ute, and if you want a sedan with a V8 it will have to be an FPV.

Posted 09/04/10 01:57 AM Share Posted 09/04/10 01:57 AM Does the xr8 really need supercharging when the base motor in the stang is already at 300+It wouldn't/won't hurt because the XR8 is heavier than the Mustang.Depending on price point, this thing is going to be serious bang for buck.

A genuine 500hp FPV GT isnt though. "FPV GT500" has a nice ring to it!

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 09/04/10 04:04 AM Share Posted 09/04/10 04:04 AM lol grab that E name now. Would be very nice and if 320 is easy peasy with a force fed 4L 6, 500 should be a nice benchmark for a "tuned" force fed 5L 8And am I wrong in thinking superchargers are a bit easier to pull more power with than a turbo. Not as in efficiencey, but a simple pulley change and tune to gain a few more ponies ??? Also more consistant and managable power ?
