GARY MYERS

FORD XA COUPE

AUG 2017

GARY Myers’s naturally aspirated XA GT coupe, XACUTER, has been reborn with some blown bad attitude – say hello to the 1000hp AGROXA!

The heart of the Falcon is that manic engine, based off a Dart Windsor block that spans a 9.5-inch deck height and 4.125-inch bore, but de-stroked to 360ci using a Callies crank, CP pistons and Crower rods. Gary needed it to rev to 8000rpm, and it certainly does! “During the powerskids in Cairns recently we saw the engine get to 10,000rpm a couple of times,” he laughs.

American Legend Nighthawk rims, combined with the new matte silver vinyl wrap, give the car a really tough pro touring vibe, and now Gary’s ready to test AGROXA’s mettle, with his eyes on a Burnout Masters spot at Summernats 31.
