Rusty XR6T Donating Members 516 Member For: 14y 10m 1d Gender: Male Posted 29/09/10 03:09 AM Share Posted 29/09/10 03:09 AM Hi Guys, I'm really curious as to what quarter mile times people are running with Stock FG XR6T Manuals.My car has only XR8 Air Box and Snorkel, K&N Filter and I replaced the U pipe that goes into the turbo with the straight through pipe from Rapid.Recently I ran 12.89 at Calder (have slips to prove it) on stock taxi wheels with second hand Brigestone Turanzas, this is after I was told several times that the manual box is slow and I will never beat the autos, in the same thread I was told I will never be able to break the 13's... thus far I have run a 12.89, 12.90, 12.95, 13.00 My 60ft's are pretty much consistently spot on 2.00, I managed a 1.98 once only.So just wondering what people are running with this style setup or similar on this car, no F6's please... we all know how fast you are from factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worm A much better forum Silver Donating Members 3,808 Member For: 16y 6m 9d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 29/09/10 05:06 AM Share Posted 29/09/10 05:06 AM It's when you mod and get higher power that they get hard to drive... Ie. Put another 30+rwkw on that and you may get a slower time on stockers...Don't get me wrong though! 12.89 is awesome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And can do a great quarter mile.But that's my whole point, the auto can do a great quarter mile, in a stock car the driver might as well jump in the passenger seat, all they need to do is put the foot to the floor and keep the thing straight.This isn't the case once you get into higher power of course because traction then becomes an issue.I do believe that as I start to mod the car I will be able to keep up with the autos into the 11's with some good clutch work and nice gear changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 12/11/10 11:07 AM Share Posted 12/11/10 11:07 AM Not run it down the quarter yet but that's a great time and something to shoot for. Did you stall it up?
