I nearly bought one of those.
Test drove a couple, but I couldn't justify spending another 15k on some leather and a bodykit. (which can be had on eBay anyway)
With the money saved I was able to put the missus and my kids into a newer safer car as well. So it was a win, win for me.
(considering my BA has F6 internals anyway, and makes a bit more than 310 at the fly....)

However I am still stuck with the dreadful BA 5spd gearbox - and yes it is THAT bad.



Got any vids of it doing a 1/4, it would be awsome to see it run.

Although I'm a LS1 man, my mate has a XR6Turbo and it does go pretty hard.

No vids yet. Got a few photos of it from when we first took it to Heathcote.
She's a bit tired at the moment. Diff bushes are absolutely stuffed (to the point that it's undrivable - hit a bump and the whole arse of the car moves while the body stays in the same position), also wouldn't mind saving a few pennies for a built C4 to drop in it before we go back to Heathcote.

On 6-8psi (soft tune due to the 42deg day) it ran 13.4 @ 108mph.

The 'power' tune it has/had was set-up for 16psi boost. (She'll run a low 12 on this tune no worries - not bad for an 1800kg landboat!)

Before we go back to the track it also needs a new Flash-box, as the one I have is no longer supported (which blows - basically means I can't get the car tuned without a ANOTHER $1000 box).

Here's some quick pics:







The last pic is me rounding up a Nizpro stage 3'd G6E turbo, after having a sloppy launch (2.** reaction)

First pic is the last one I have before I destroyed the drivers-side driveshaft (did a good skid though!)

Cheers,
