What's the rest of the driveline? Surely the standard diff' isn't going to hold up to that sort of power?

hmmm, my XD is the same, the 1.3 60 footer rips your eyes out - then the rest feels like a 12 sec XR8.

That's debateable, of course I would love to have a fast vehicle like a 6T, but I would love to have an all round performing vehicle with that NICE NOTE, nothing sound's like a V8, that's just my opinion ofcourse.

I understand mate, I was just stirring, if mine sounded like an 8 it would be so much better. But with 308rwkw Im not one to complain. :eclipsee_
