Default interesting EL XR8....

spotted this the other day, took pics with my phone but they were crap so i went past again today with a good cam.
It sits outside a place called 'Boostin' OZ', and apparently it belongs to the owner. I think its also a 347.....

Hot car otherwise

i like it, reminds me of one of my trade customers cars when i worked at pedders, it ran a stroker v8 with a supercharger, custom front ber to clear the cooler and no rear spoiler and the same green.... might even be the same car with different wheels.
enough rambling though, where do i get rims with a dish like that!

I love the dished wheels, you can never have a dish too deep.

Looks like an EL to me though...just to be picky, its just how I am, get over it : :hihi: _2:

I had the same thought as the bonnet vents are the EL version. Looks the goods though. :

Looking at the 4" flexi duct for the intake I'd haz-at-a-guess that it's running a vortech/procharger

ah knew i had some pics. Stole em from wen it was on carsales a while ago.. the pics are saved as stroked n charged so that solves that mystery. Judging by the bit of wheel i can see its the same car. Shame i dont remeber much else. I think they were asking $25,000 maybe $30,000.

Looks good...too much dish on the back and the fronts are too wide. Always been a fan of the dish (thats why mine are dished!) but thats just too much..
