Should be an interesting build... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 A quote directly from XS Power: "Its basically GT Spec... even air jacks..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 any pics? Nope - I asked which sized turbos and what other mods are involved and got the above quote back in reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Latest: They will be using EX BTCC driver Gareth Howell, from ATF Power. Car should have around 700bhp+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmigzyTT Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 In the pro class i presume? Should be very very interesting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 That surely isn't in the spirit of things.... Next someone will turn up with a 2 yr old F1 car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Ooh very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 That surely isn't in the spirit of things.... Next someone will turn up with a 2 yr old F1 car... It does look like it's a little unfair reading the list but then some could argue the same with the bike-engined Dax Rush type cars that always used to do it back in the day I guess. Oh, and Nadine Gearey (sp) in her GT spec Viper was competing last year. At the end of the day I suppose the guys just have to go as quick as possible. I imagine the F430 will be hard work with 700bhp... without suspension and brake mods anyway. Will be good to see some pics of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 XS-Power, would that be the eBay lot? Probably make good for the advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 The pro class this year has some mental motors, will be interesting to see how they get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 That surely isn't in the spirit of things.... Next someone will turn up with a 2 yr old F1 car... I agree. This is essentialy a FIA endurance GT2 racer with even more power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 They must be selling a fair few of them kits if they can afford to buy and run a ferrari gt2 race car:blink: How often do we see threads titled: "Is this kit any good?", linking to xs power?

Gaz6002 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 How often do we see threads titled: "Is this kit any good?", linking to xs power? IIRC they are held in a lot higher regard in other areas of the tuning world and also run that MK3 Supra with all the Drag Racing records. The publicity machine has been working hard for them.
