Hi All,
Saw one hell of an AU on the Monash freeway this morning. It was a dark Blue AU3 XR8 and had "351kw" marked in white lettering on the boot lid, it also had "HO" badges all over it. Looked good with the 2 x twin exhaust pipes at the rear. Does anyone know this car? Has anyone else seen it? 351kw is great output, I would like to know if it is Forced Induction or not. I didn't get a great look at it as I ride a motorbike to work (I would love to drive my Ford to work but on the congested Monash freeway a bike beats everything!! Plus No e-tag, No parking fees and $15 to fill!!, Cant beat that) Norton |

Sounds like one of the Moffat/HO special. Runs a V2 supercharger, IIRC, and 351 would be conservative.

Hate to be a Smart *** but sure it wasn't an BA, because i know a BA XR8 in dark blue, with Quads, 351Kw Badge on the rear and all.

351kw was not a badge but was stickers. HO was a badge. |

Couldn't get pics as detailed in original post (On a motorbike) but I was still interested if anyone knew of this car. I thought it was very unique with the stickers and badges so pics may not be needed. Not that big a deal anyway.....I'm not going to have trouble sleeping if I don't get any responses. Norton |
