307 KPh Ford XR6T

[Nexus9]

Not usually a big fan of Fords (except for the ol' GT's)

But APS have released an absolute monster of the car.

Check it out here... http://www.aps-xr6t.com/falcon/avalon/307kph.htm

Threre are gunna be some very quick Fords around very soon methinks.

[Morgs]

There already are!

I witnessed the C&V XR6T run an 11.2 sec 2 weeks ago

I'm not really a Ford man, but what does Holden (6cyl) have to compare with Fords XR6 Turbo? A shitty supercharger (VY) ? Reakon holden will compete in the 6cyl performance or just stay with there SS and SSX V8s?

[strutto]

307kph eh? Pfft, thats not that fast....

[Morgs]

RedFox: The next generation Commodore is supposed to sport a quadcam 3.8L V6, with some form of forced induction tipped... especially in light of the success of the XR6T....

Personally, I think the XR6T is awesome and could lead to good things

[The_Paladin]

i think if they made the XR6T a 2 door it would take off a lot more and be seen as the domestic skyline. i reckon 4 doors turns people away.

[Ronin 09]

barrp! snap.. barrrrp! snap.. BANG!

XR6T going down the strip, snapping second and third... then leaving the contents of the gearbox on the road.

love the motor, hate the gearbox.

Have a mate who works in Ford R&D he claims it is the most unsuccessful car for ford Aust ever in terms of recalls and failures with respect to the gearbox uh oh

[blx]

Gotta love...

FORD sticking it HOLDEN!

GO FORD

[The_Paladin]

yeah, i think bathurst has made Holden arrogent..........bloody bogan culture.

BRING BACK THE 32 TO BATHURST

[RedFox]

I'd like to see Holden do a mix of their new "AWD" faze with a forceinducted 3.8l 6cyl

(so like a wrx but 6cyl)

That be something...

better yet, get ford to have an XR6Turbo AWD

[Sonic]

Ronin, why bother with that POS manual in the XR6T when you could bathe glory of the four-speed auto? It is handling some big power from tuner cars in standard trim.

Ford's stripping weight out of the 6T for Series II and will unleash a 280+kW 6spd FPV version soon. Second "Golden Era" of Aussie muscle.

Holden's new 3.5L quad-cam, all-alloy 4V-per cyl motor is rumoured to have a turbo hanging off each bank of cylinders as well. Not huge power, but massive amounts of torque. They're also gearing up for the new 6.0L Gen IV V8

[R31Nismoid]

all hopes were pinned on cars such as the magnificent Lamborgini, Porsches, BMWs etc to post some of the fastest speeds ever seen from production cars.

I dunno about rules/claims for this... but the XR6t that was tested was no-longer a production car in my eyes.

Unless the Lambo/Porches etc were all modified too (which im doubtful of)

The Vic XR6t's that are running 11's have had money spent on thier Auto's.

The Nizpro one has had such, 100%, it was in a article they participated in and said it needs mod's to the trans that they can provide to make it last

307kph eh? Pfft, thats not that fast....

LOL strutto ur a funni ****

[riggaP]

I hate Ford. I hate Holden.

I like Skylines and Ferraris

[Zedzilla]

Yeah, well I'll say one thing. I hope Holden and ford do have a 6 cylinder turbo rivalry, it may pave the way for turbo's running in Aus touring cars again???

Bring back those bad ass Nissans!!!!!

(Hey Skaifie!, is that the new GTR wiv da twin turbo's and da blah, blah, blah)

[Roy]

Aus can now start to lay claim to building some of the best/quickest saloon cars in the world.

You can sling mud and say they ar heavy, but what do BMW, Jags, Mercedes and Audi weigh, the local product is doing rather well in my eyes.

That said i cant justify the spend for modern cars, ill wait until i get a company car before i worry about what the manufacturers are offering... but an F6 Typhoon sounds the goods

[Duncan]

what is it with all you guys saying "lets see gtrs racing in touring cars"....where have you been, just on this forum theres a team in touring cars with 2 GTRS and a silvia
