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 :)

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...

"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.
