Hi everyone,
Been looking at upgrading to an AU XR8 in the near future but I'm having trouble choosing which series to go for. I have noticed that the series I is 185kw, the series II is 200kw and the series III is an impressive 220kw:evil3: all from the "same" 5L V8. So my question is what have ford done to the series I motor to get it up to 220kw? What sort of modifications would be necessary to get the same power figure and maintain reliability? Would it be cheaper to just buy the series III or is it just a case of a few things like intake/exhaust + extractors/ecu that ford have purposely left room for improvement in the future models? Any info appreciated, Cheers. |
