Ok guys, i have no pics yet sorry (haha, will get them soon), but in my travels i saw a very very nice ED XR8 sprint today. According to the plates it's a 347ci stroker, but the thing that stood out to me was the absolutely MASSIVE brakes this thing had. The AP (i think they were AP anyways) racing stoppers on this thing had to be V8 supercar sized on the front! It had some very wide billet wheels too that looked very schmick, although even in at least 17" (possibly 18) the brakes only just fitted behind them ;)
So, anyone else here seen it, own it, or know who owns it? It looks to be a very serious XR8 Sprint and i want more info Cheers People, Jared |

Ok guys, here's the deal. I went to take a pic after picking up my little brother from work. We drove up and my brother used his camera phone (couldn't get hold of a proper digital), but the guy who owned it just happened to be walking past where it was parked and looked at us like "what the **** are they up to???" So in the end we ended up with no photo, and i was too scared to turn the car around and talk to the guy because he probably thinks now we are out to steal his car :
The rego on this was very similar to the one OED mentioned, it's actually ED-347. Not telling where i saw it though, but it's always there ;) so let this thread die (PLEASE :P) and i'll go and get a decent picture when the guy isn't so suspicious of us LOL...
