Default My neighbour has an 8 second XW fairmont! (*pics*)
Ok, well pretty much what the title says (yes i know it has GT stripes and the super roo sticker, but it was originally a fairmont),and he always seems to have huge trucks coming in and out of his place, and lately ive noticed this coming in and out of his driveway making one of the sexiest noises from a car ive heard. So today i though i might go and ask him, and see if it was ok to take a few snaps. Unfortunatley he was about to take it for another run at eastern creek, so i couldnt get any of the engine bay but hopefully i will in the next few days. As for the engine, all i know is that its a clevo (sorry guys i was too excited) But as for quarter mile times, it already runs an 8.9 and hes hoping to get it into the low 8's with a few mods (as if it needed more)

It will take alot more than 8 second to cover the quarter mile on the back of that truck!

What a beauty!!!!!!! Gezz, he'd upset a few neighbours starting that up on a Sunday morning!

No offence to you personally, but I hope people don't go around giving out the addresses of people with valuble cars like the one above.
Not everyone that browses forums are honest people, after all.

Good to see someone finally buy that thing, it's been on the market for 2 years.
Nice colour too - but I'm biased.
