    man thats a kick in the groin...as much as i hate to say it these little turbo'd cars cant be beat unless you spend big dollars on your commodore. i hate turbo's for that reason...it doesnt make sence that a little donut that forces a bit more air into a tiny 4 banger can make it go so quick...sucks ey

    From what I've heard, the XR4 is meant to clock 0-100 in just under 8 seconds. That's not too shabby, but a mint 5.0 V8 commy should still be a little faster than that

    Wheels only managed mid 16sec 1/4 mile times out of the little thing, but we all know they can be a little off. They also claim mid 8s 0-100.

    various different models were made .. including the xr4 x 4 all wheel drive ..turbo . even my ssv would have trouble keeping up with one of those .. hence the reason that those and ths cozzies were removed from the supercar series years ago !

    I'd rather be in a slow commy than a fiesta with stripes any day.
    Fiesta not a bad car, but add stripes and you cross the line.

    Theres an XR5 Turbo which is based on the Ford Focus which looks pretty much exactly like the Fiesta. The Fiesta just comes as NA 4. So yeah, beaten by a XR4 Fiesta, you fail.

    The XR4 is a 2L N/A fiesta with 110kw(no such thing as an AWD Turbo version)...0-100 in just under 9 seconds...they are lil nuggets with stripes. If ur VN 5L got beaten by one of them , ur car has serious problem or something...

    However you may have mistaken it for the XR5 Turbo Focus which does 0-100 in 7.5 sec and has 166kw and FWD not AWD...even then i still would have thought a VNSS was quicker then that...hell my BA XR6 pulls just under 7 sec 0-100 and all i have done is the filter and changed to XR6T intake piping.

    The little cars that do go are the VW Golf GTi's and mazda 6 MPS...they are lil slingshots...
