1000hp XR6 Turbo

I know they put the engine in a car thats heavier than 2 pregnant whales but well hey a thousand ponies would still put a smile on the face no matter what you drop it in

[sammus]

love that picture

Damn, was just about to post this...

Yeah gotta love the glowing extractors.... if they can ever get the power to the ground i wonder what it'll run... maybe a high 9 on slicks?

[mcnamg]

youd think that they would have trouble getting all that power to the ground launching would be fun. a high 9 would probably be a goer witha skilled driver.

Good to see that the inline 6 is not yet dead ford has picked up the torch and is running with it they are about 15 years behind but doing a good job.

Ford needs to find a way to fit the running gear from a ford territory into a falcon sedan and drop that enigne into it

[paulr33]

thats nuts, wonder if its still the stock gt40 just with a better non restrictive intel or whatever they did to restrict it

[Morgs]

Awesome!!!

[R32Skyliner]

Does anyone know what a standard XR6 turbo engine is selling for at the moment?

[mcnamg]

ring one of your local ford suppliers or contact one of the mod shops like nizpro or aps http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/ they would probably be able to advise you.

[martydaman]

interesting in knowing the reliability of that engine, 1000 horses is impresive though
