I need to see that chart. I've heard from xB drivers that, with the stock engine, they can't get over 115.

Yes, 108mph is about it on the top end.

Thanks for finding this Jon. I was wondering what that thing had going for it. Even with the blown lower end it would be an ok deal just for the other parts and the exposure it's had.

Well guys I was in it when the motor blew, the supercharger had a different housing and imp. trim built for the xB, and I saw the saltflat runs on paper and a pic of the B going down the flats.

It was a REAL fishy deal with the purchase..the delaership didnt want use to drive it till the papers were signed..glad he didnt sign anything, the owner, the lawyer, was really mad, he said everything was fine when the dealership picked up the B, and the dealership even tried to put an insurnace claim in on my friends policy for the blown engine !!!
