    Hi Guys
    Just bought my ZT-T 260 on Friday. Done about 350 miles in it now, need to get a remortgage before I take it out again! .
    It's VIN number 211, I'd welcome any feedback if anyone has any information to back up what the seller told me.
    I had a Rover 75CDTi as a company car for 5 years, boy is this different!.
    I'm going to be chaging the TB/Plenum/intake tract and exhausts, can't afford to go the Supercharger route but does anyone know if it's possible to do any other mechanical mods or remapping for this engine, it's hardly efficient at only 260BHP for 4.6L? Not too big a problem really as I recently got a TVR 450i if I really want to go out for a blast!!

    Cheers!

    Karl

    Loads of info and questions about engine mods here and on xpower. Have a search and see what you can dig up.

    Welcome to the fold. I like the way your 'sensible' car is a 4.6 V8, haha

    860? I thought there were only 833!
    I'll be going to a few shows and meets this year, got to balnce off between 260 and TVR, or fit tow bar to 260, fit "A" frame and take both!

    Mine's an older 450i "Wedge", but with half the weight of the 260, and slightly more power, you can imagine how much fun it is to drive!!
