There wasn't much going on, but I still found a few runs. there was an XR6T auto that was rolling around with a what seemed to be a lightly modded 200SX.we lined up about 5 or 6 times and every time we would stay about line ball through 1st, then I would just start to pull away until I had made about 5 or 6 car lengths on him.my car? a stock auto BF XR8 ute.as I said I was quite surprised.Dave.

All that extra money you spent should do somethin. Want to go fast, a T has to at least be edited, bye bye xr8, hello M5!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrunks Member 665 Member For: 20y 6m 22d Location: Gold Coast Posted 03/05/07 09:42 PM Share Posted 03/05/07 09:42 PM Is your XR8 a 6 speed auto vs the 4 speed BA???If yes then there's half a sec down the qtr just in the trans!The V8 shgould get more advantage of the 6 speed over the turbo, as the T's max torque comes in at 2000 RPM where as the extra 2 gears help keep the V8 within the torque range.If you lined up against a BF turbo with the 6 speed auto then the results would be reversed!Another thing is what fuel were both cars using??? there's a fair difference from 92 to 98 RON fuel!Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both our cars are stock, and have found that I always end up about a car length infront. Both cars auto, both using BP Ultimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of ambient temperature are you running in. makes an unbelieveable difference to the turbo.
