Identification between the two can be made by examining the hub: the protrusion of the hub through the center of the wheel denotes the preferred 10.5-inch full-floating rear axle. While the 9.5-inch rear end exhibits its own durability, it is generally considered less favorable for high-torque applications.
Originally this axle was made as the Sterling 10.25, with a ring gear that measured 10.25 inches (260 mm) until it was upgraded in 1999 to the Sterling 10.50 for the Ford Super Duty trucks.
This car was intended to show off what MG can do with the ZT's chassis, and was never intended for mass production. The XPower ZT is fitted with a 500PS supercharged 4.6 litre Ford Modular V8, similar the engine fitted to the 260 ZT. The XPower 500 has a more aggressive wide bodykit, with larger spoiler similar to the XPower 385.
Because of these changes, the R8 GT has an increased top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph) and accelerates from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds, 0.3 faster than the R8 V10. The car also features some visual changes including red brake calipers, a fixed rear wing, front bumper mounted winglets and GT badging in place of the standard V10 badging.
The front bumper was a large federally mandated 5 mph (8.0 km/h) bumper that was among the required 1973 federal safety standards for all passenger cars sold in the U.S. with the 5 mph (8.0 km/h) requirement extended to rear bumpers on 1974 models.
It also lifted the Blazer about three inches higher, allowing it to clear 31×10.5" tires on 15-inch wheels. Enhanced front (7.25" ring gear) and rear (8.5" ring gear) axles with a 3.73:1 rear-axle ratio, larger wheels and axle bearings, a stronger front anti-sway bar, skid plates, and Bilstein shocks were also added.
