Usually up to 120 cars compete in each event I am the only Crossfire but now run faster than the 911's and Lotus competitors.

2006 Tow cars either 300cSRT Wagon 2006 Jeep Commander Limited or 2005 Cayenne Turbo All black

I compete in Marque sports which is a ten race seriers here again approved vehicles ranging from 911, Lotus TVR, Corvette Triumph Ferrari De Tomaso etc.
But still drive her to the office occasionally."

Runs faster than Porsche 911s and Lotus entries? Seems like that out be be headline material, unless I fail to understand the racing rules/classes.

if they are tight tracks it is not shockiing, the crossfire handles amazingly well, even stock.

Rules are pretty simple NO slick tyres restricted to 95 db at 30 meters. Engine capacaity and modification classes.

I race class D which allows engine, breathing cams, suspension and other small modifications but in the 3litre to 4.5 Litre class, so my main competition is.

Porsche 911 , Lotus Exige, Elise, Turbo Rotaries.

The XF is best in the longer tracks as its top end accelleration is lots better than both the Lotus and Porsche , I can out brake them but cannot get out of the corner as fast due to the (*&^ traction controll.

We usually race with groups that are around the same lap time so I get mixed into GT40 Replica's Cobra's Clubman cars all good fun

Not a newbie far from it.
I read about removing fuses 17 and 18, or hardwiring a switch or reporgramming the ECU (Again) but there does not seem to be a clear cut concensus on this..
Derek, other and I are talking to DC and Bosch on this and will eventually get a result, just frustrating at this time at this time I am not prepared to put myself and the other 15 odd cars at risk for a questimate, but I will try and have some test time in the next month before Philip Island and give it a go.

Like everything with these beauties its all a bit of a guessing game

There is one guy who can modify your entire abs and TC computer, decrease the sensitivity of the whole system. I posted a thread with his website and phone number, I guess I'll have to dig it up.
