And if all cars loose 15-20%, then there are some serious errors in factory speed claims on countless cars. I think I am going to go with a 32AMG swap because they make as much numbers as the 55K with TVT's 450+ and the N/A stock is lighter and better geared than the SRT. BUt still. There are only 2 German Fastback 2-seaters in the world. Food for thought. Either way, I have a blue XF N/A roadster that I got salvage for 3 grand with 36k miles. I replaced a control arm and broken oil pan and it runs fine but has a scrap title. I might just keep that and get the RT10 in place of my SSB coupe. But then I loose my German Fastback. I just dunno. The SRT drop in will take me to 180 mph or to the N/A's 327 gear rev limit which is just under that and in the lighter, 327 geared N/A, the SRT engine should have me at 0-60 in under 5 seconds without the weight penalty of a V8. Ok, here's a question/ voting poll. SRT-6 vs N/A vs RT 10 around a road track. Who's 1, 2, and 3. Now keep in mind that motertrend said that the handling on the Rt10 was like playing ping pong with a baseball bat. Look em up on wikipedia. Is the handling gap in the XF's enough to account for the gap in power? I know the SRT6 does 0-60 and top out similar to an RT10 and will out-handle it, but could the N/A stock beat an RT10 around a road course? I've no idea.
