It's Fast

[Guest raoulc]

I finally found the opportunity to test my new XR6T.

On a very quite road from Deniliquin to Griffith through Conargo in a newly tared road. No one in site for miles and as far as you can see - I gunned it. I didn't go through the gears on high RPM cause its only about 2500kms old but put my foot down on 5th gear (yup - its a manual).

The car was still accelerating when I peaked down to the speedo doing 210kph. Took my foot of the accelerator and back down to my 110km crusing speed. It was absolutely effortless. Quiet, great suspension and a sheer trill.

It was dangerous and had the wandering cop been around - good bye license. The chances of a cop being in such a road was very minimal but on the plus side. I know what this work of art can do.

Surely you are dead now, coz "Speed Kills"!!! :lol:

Great, that would be Deniliquin to Griffith in the N.T. of course!!!!!!!

Given the right road conditions I am sure our XR6T's will pull 220k's + easily

You people tease those of us who are too young to have a license! Only two month's to go though, and lucky me, if I get half the money for an XR6T than my Granddad will chip in the other half! Getting the first half could be tricky though...hmm... :D

Agreed, Motor had the XR6T bouncing off the speed limiter at 229km and claimed it had lots more if the limiter was not there....

very nice

Ford claims to have the XR6T and XR8 limited to 230. Curiosity got the better of me and I had to confirm this for myself, although I won't advertise where.

It is true, the XR6T climbs to 200 kays plus very fast. The last 15-20 take a little longer but once you hit the 230 mark the limiter cuts in.

sh*t this car is good.

Man if you end up with an xr6t as your first car you are one lucky b......! :D But don't forget you insurance at your age it will be a killer. :(

I have to say (and happily my wife doesn't come to this site....) at 225 it was effortless and felt fantastic!!!!

:D :D

it does say: speed limited to 230 km/h :nugget: and is also very quick off the blocks so it IS very easy to reach 225, but when you get upto 190, :D it takes a little bit more time to reach 225
