that'll turn some heads :

no i havent been in a 500hp car, but the 250 2v isnt doing it for me at the moment. I just want something to scare myself, thats why i was thinking of a turbo 6, as if i built it cheaply while i was still on my P's within 2 years id have it ready, only expecting to spend 5k or so to begin with, and i know it wont make 500hp.

i would just love the feeling of hitting boost in an XY.

The turbo idea was just abbout cheap power, and being unique.

Don't forget that a turbo will require a lot of testing and tuning to get 500bhp from it which won't be practical on the street or your wallet...

Tuning a 351C to 400bhp and dropping it in a 1400kg XY will make it a rocket on the street plus it'll sound mean as with a nice exhaust. :evil3: :evil3:
