    yeah but if u saw the extra engine room in an xr6 compared to an xr8, ud see why someone might choose the xr6 if they were interested in aftermarket tuning.

    These days aftermarket tuning comes down to exhausts, induction, and computer chips which you mostly cant alter. You can fit a turbo or supercharger under the bonnet of any V8.

    Are they the XR6 is out selling their expectations and they have many many orders taken place. And why not turbo a HO? id rather a super charger but turbos are ok.

    the xr6 turbo is selling so well cause its 6 grand cheaper than the xr8, is fords 2nd fastest model ever released and has the same interior as the xr8. its also popular cause of the big arse turbo ford put on to get rid of lag when they put 6 psi in it
