Thanks for sharing and don't listen to the numpties calling it slow... For years most have called magazine drivers **** because they always cut poor drag times in Ford's but it suits them to call the Holy Grail slow because they have inferiority complexes. The times are gone where people could appreciate another persons car especially when it's the same make as their own.

Can you tell us anything about the experience and process of getting it done? Did it meet your expectations?

I think my MkII looks meaner compared to the FGX too - but that's just subjective.
It will do flat 5’s completely stock.

I think the holy grail only gains extra power higher in the gears, so it runs stock 0-100 times but slightly quicker at the strip where the extra power comes in at the top end of the track. Getting all the stock torque limiters in the first few gears, plus the conservative factory style tune means it’s never going to run anywhere near what a custom tune will.

I'm guessing if you add some corners the HG will start to highlight how much better it is.

Some people also like to have their cars 100% street legal, adr approved and emission compliant.

So getting closer to a tuned XR6T that already had better corners. Naaah. Not at that price.

Ok everybody, that is enough name calling.

The next person who decides that they want to have a go at somebody else over something that has nothing to do with this thread may find themselves having a holiday.

Any further off topic comments will be deleted.

Obviously, nobody has anything further to say about the Holy Grail video.

Apologies to the OP, I tried hard to keep thread open, but it appears everyone a few of the usual suspects just want to take the opportunity to have a go at each other.

Thread closed.
