XR6 Turbos are a million times better than ghey V8 XR8s.

Id rather have a 3.5litre 24valve straight six that comes with a GT40 turbo as standard thanks...

Very minor mods (still std engine, manifolds, and turbo) and just 1bar boost and theyve already been proven to hit 300+kmh (187+mph).

Awesome cars
