Default Re: FG XR4 Turbo

What benefit would you get from fitting an EB engine to an XR chassis? Wouldnt you just modify an EcoBoost in its current chassis, ie G6?

Because then you would have a G4 instead of a XR4!

Why not? Modify the EcoBoost to get more power and have a lighter car with a lot less weight on the front end meaning better handling.
