CDAA WASP GT Member 138 Member For: 22y 6m 1d Location: Adelaide Posted 05/02/03 12:43 PM Share Posted 05/02/03 12:43 PM Thanks right, it maybe old news to some of you guys, however 14.1 in the ‘auto’ not to mention a $61k full optioned car (no engine performance mods) is very impressive. MOTOR has recorded a 14.1 in a manual, however I thought the auto was slower in a straight line (guess not).Apparently to get the time Cam (the owner) stalled the car up to 1800rpm, selected the gearshift to the left (performance mode) and let the car change gears itself. When he just took off normally he achieved a 14.3.Well Done Cam!! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/839-xr6t-auto-141-400m/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mvec Guests Posted 05/02/03 09:51 PM Share Posted 05/02/03 09:51 PM Woooahh... that's awesome stats for a car that weighs 1700kg. Hmmm.. Im thinking I'll get an auto now. By "Stalled to 1800rpm" do you mean he had the foot on the brake up to that point??

It is suggested that the Manual is "as quick" in very experienced hands, but not quicker.And my understanding is that the foot was on the break and accelerator to raise the revs just before take off Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/839-xr6t-auto-141-400m/#findComment-8798 Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are very impressive times. On Cams time slip his reaction time was about a 1 second as well, so if he improved on this he would have got a better time. Keep in mind that these times were also recorded in Summer and Turbo's do not like heat ..........I'm a XR8 fan myself, but I must say that I am way impressed with this car in auto stock form .

Guest UNB-10 Guests Posted 06/02/03 02:38 AM Share Posted 06/02/03 02:38 AM CDAA, reaction time doesn't mean anything. It won't change the 1/4 mile time. Very impressive, might have to take mine upto Willowbank Raceway and give a go.
