XR8 Thrashing :D

Postby Rollin » March 3rd, 2009, 1:32 am

My Dad let me take his BA XR8 out on the skidpan last friday night, Bipolar got some video of the result.

I reckon the car sounds fucken horn, thought some of you might also enjoy the noise :)

It has a set of 4 into 1 extractors and twin system, diameter unknown. It's not that quick but first gear is well suited to the size of the pan and it makes all the right noises :)

Look at your car. Now back to mine. Now back to yours. Now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped buying dodgy cars and bought an ED, yours could be like mine. Look down. Back up. Where are you? ...You're on BoostedFalcon, reading the signature your signature could be like! Anything is possible when your car looks like my car... I'm on a computer.

No lol. Not even close. It sounds tuff as but it's painfully slow and the driving position sucks compared to my car.

Gate > V8! haha.

I see, I thought only the boss 260, 290 and 302 got the boss engine while a standard XR8 only got a 3V....

Sounds good what ever it is :-P

What? How can a boss get a boss??
XR8 has always had a boss.
If its a V8 without a bulge, its a 3v.

You've seen them already, this is prob the best recording of my car that I have - it's waaaay too loud normally and distorts the microphone of the camera recording it...

Sounds good what ever it is :-P

"Boss" motors in:
Boss 260 - all BA/BF XR8s
Boss 290 - most BA/BF FPV, now in FG FPV
Boss 302 - towards the end of BFII FPV (also the Cobra or whatever)
Boss 315 - FG FPV

The 3V was never used in XR8 or by FPV.
