Not sure if a manual helps but I had a good run with an XR8 ute a while back and got him by nearly two lenghts, I'm pretty sure he had a manual too.

thebrunks Member 665 Member For: 20y 9m 12d Location: Gold Coast Posted 14/09/07 05:50 AM Share Posted 14/09/07 05:50 AM A stock T will kick a stock 8's ass all day long if they both have the same trans.The 6 Speed is more of an advantage for the 8 as the torque range is a lot less in the Boss compared to the Turbo Barra!But it's all over in the first 100m anyway.Another thing of note is what fuel was being used in both cars?Russ Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38279-beat-an-xr6t-auto-very-easily/#findComment-574643 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both had 4sp autos. Raced a XR8 260 BOSS this week and I beat him by about 9 car lengths. A stock XR6T will not beat an stock XR8 260......UMM yeah they do. My mate had an xr8, we raced when we were both stock and I beat him every time. I even raced this chick brother in his xr8 ute and I beat him to.
