Ratter is right.. The 5.4 with the right setup is quick.. Realistically speaking even though it may not be as fast as some T's its still a quick enough street car..

Never modded one.. But even an FG isn't easy to get to 350rwkw..One of my old flat mates had a BF XR8.. Minimal mods - full zorst, intake, tune etc.. It wasn't a slow car.. And the power perfectly matched the grip capability of the tyres so it was quick out of the hole.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
