there was also a twin turbo xf falcon that supposedly pumped out 380 horses and 560 nm of torque..it went to the uk and got written off.
that was made by another mob and they didnt do much after that.

there were 2 factory turbo EA types.
AVO and AIT both were very similar though.

I remember reading an article about it.. they said something along the lines of how spooky it was the way you could dump the clutch at 5000rpm on gravel and the car just launches hard.
