luke187 Member 297 Member For: 11y 5m 25d Posted 26/02/14 09:18 PM Share Posted 26/02/14 09:18 PM If you have rally experience id say not so much as hard but remembering it still demands respect. Lots of torque, lots of wheelspin, and if you have decent tyres it stil has lots of drive. It doesnt take long before youre going 120 130 which is more than enough for things to get nasty. Its pretty easy these days to say ahh its only 300rwkw such and such is pushing 400 as is his cousin.Ive owned some pretty quick import turbo cars and have raced things for over half my life and was still really surprised how quick my mates 300rwkw xr6 was. Before I drove it I dismissed it thinking big fat falcon with only 410rwhp, but that quickly dissipated the first time I rolled on the throttle coming onto the highway. He ended up selling the car to a guy I his early 20s, who found a tree to park it against after 3 weeks or so, so it does happen.

MA91CK billet turbos and weathered engines dont mix Donating Members 1,346 Member For: 13y 10d Gender: Male Location: Wollongong Posted 26/02/14 11:40 PM Share Posted 26/02/14 11:40 PM Exactly what these guys are saying. The good thing about barras is you can have 500rwkw, and still drive it to the shops. They're very linear. Respect the fact you have 300rwkw under your right foot and you'll be fine. My mum drives mine, just stays off boost. I drive mine in the pissing down rain, it's fine. learn how your car reacts. You can wrap yourself around a tree with 20Kwan if you do something dumb enough, just use common sense and take it easy 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87634-how-hard-is-298-rwkw-to-handle/page/2/#findComment-1457896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LU82 Bronze Donating Members 569 Member For: 12y 4m 7d Posted 27/02/14 12:16 AM Share Posted 27/02/14 12:16 AM Feel more comfortable with no traction haha thanks for your help mateIf that's the case go for more power than 298kw , that way if you get a bit out of shape you can steer it on the throttle and grab the next gear without backing off . I've found with a bit more power the car is easier to drive. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87634-how-hard-is-298-rwkw-to-handle/page/2/#findComment-1457903 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love 2nd gear auto roll ons, smoking my tyres and painting black lines up the road. Even with 315rwkw in my old T,these Barra motors make my V8 feel lazy in the torque department. Go the mighty T.... 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87634-how-hard-is-298-rwkw-to-handle/page/2/#findComment-1457977 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but if you were serious, you'd take it beyond the 1000 mark to make it more powerful than a Veyron at the wheels 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87634-how-hard-is-298-rwkw-to-handle/page/2/#findComment-1457992 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtRmn8 570Nm @1800rpm Donating Members 2,441 Member For: 21y 8m 10d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 27/02/14 02:42 PM Share Posted 27/02/14 02:42 PM Utes are fun with 300rwkw. I had a BA with a good BTR and no traction control or stability control. Loved to turn tyres with little effort Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87634-how-hard-is-298-rwkw-to-handle/page/2/#findComment-1458010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
