We do it again to confirm that what we were experiencing was real. Once again, the tweaked XR reels back on its suspension and accelerates at a rate that no other streeter could possibly hope to match. This is simply awesome stuff. And as if the sheer speed isn't enough, all this comes with absolutely factory-like starting, idle, smoothness and drivability...

Just what I was thinking mate! The only thing is, you'd probably have no competition on the road...

Not the actual car they tested on the track due to trans' problems but the original mule got the quarter mile in 11.66 seconds and APS are thinking of doing a phase 4.

I paid for the sub' to autospeed at $4.10/month and there is so much good quality articles on here that I doubt I'll end up subbing to Motor mag ever, the autospeed site is well worth the money, there's so much to damn well read!

Hi guys,

Autospeed.com has published a test report on the APS PHASE III High Output System.

�APS Phase 3 Teaser
Un-bloody-believable is the only way to describe the soon to be released APS Phase 3 kit for the Ford XR6 Turbo...�

It�s good reading and food for thought.
