I agree my XR8 is crap low down power but from 80km/h it hauls ass.
They're not exactly a 1/4 mile car especially due to the weight but for a ute I think its more than enough power. Mine makes 550nm of torque so that makes for great burnouts.
You know you got a fair decent amount of power when your worried about spinning the wheels while overtaking at 110km/h in the wet.
So you managed to find another keto to setup for track use yet?
