cams licence doenst show anything about your driving as its not a driving test to obtain one. Stating how you have done driving courses just means you think your a better driver then you are.
Some cars come out lemons from factory. Like i said my gtec maybe wrong. and my stop watch also, but if thats not the case and my auto is matching and bettering your manual then there is something wrong somewhere, could be the following - your driving ability - your car's lemoness - the extra weight in your car from the many licences and certificates from your driving courses |

easy answer.. take it to the track on Wed as planned and post up your time in the
AU Powers and Times thread. That will answer all the questions and take all the speculation out of this thread. I will say though that there are only 3 known "unopened" AU I6's in the 14 second range. Of these only 1 is an auto and I know that the mods required to get it into the 14's were rather significant. All the AU I6 Auto's in the 14's (and all the way down to about 15.5's) have been cammed and/or had other major mods (diff, stall, edit etc) I still say that it will run a 15.6 at best.

No I needed a CAMS licence and approved driving courses to race off road buggies like I did a few years back.
My car is anything but a lemon, it ran a 15.1 stock as a rock on its 4th pass, 1st pass was a 15.5, after that with just a cat back exhaust and the filter taken out it ran a 14.9 and is making a very healthy power, with your measily 39 posts ive doubt you've read much on this fourm. Read up before you fire back with all your arrogant bullshit. Take your lil stocker to the track so I can laugh when you barely touch the 15's. Before you claim other cars are lemons you might want to actually get a real ET at a real drag strip yourself. Otherwise you may find yourself looking VERY stupid next Wednesday. |

i think i'll tak caspers guess most serious here as he seems to no the most here knowing the history behind who and which au's run 14's etc.
As for "STIDDY" calling my comments arrogant bullshit, try not to tell me how wrong i am cause your car's time was no better in manual when you have all all these courses trying to make you feel like you can drive better then most people when the reality is you probably have no clue. As for laughing at me when i run the car... I'd like to see the shape of your face if you do so |

Having said that, the day I tossed the auto tranny for a manual (no sick comments you f***ers) there was a lot more go, in a lot shorter space of time. Your gtec is gonna be a hell of alot more accurate than a stopwatch - if its not, send it back for a replacement. Im keen to see the end result

You can't over come, your stall converter and dump the clutch from high revs, You can't overcome the fact that its a heavy car and you can't overcome the fact that , in the grand scheme of things there not that powerfull. Yes, with certain mods they can go faster, but you don't have any of that. I don't care how good you think you can drive or how well you reckon you maintain your car, you can't defeat these facts on a drag strip. Ask anyone here with an xr6, stock they do 15.6. I know there is talk that Ford produced some really fast ones and all that, but try find one buddy. Its an urban myth. Have a talk to other blokes here and find out how much money and work it is to drop .1 - .2 of a second and then come back and tell us how much your driving skill matters.

the car runs 6.8 on the gtec and the stop watch respectively. I dont care weather or not u believe it.
Doing any better then a 15.6 on the track? from what i read no i dnt expect it at all. Manual faster then an auto.. OBVIOUSLY two seperate cars and the auto comes out faster is possible stiddy. If your car wasnt bettering my auto dont get all emotional about it. so u get lost and dnt try get smart with me champ |

Enough is enough. I'm borderline about to delete this entire thread.
End result. 6.8 seconds in an auto AU XR6 is highly unlikely. It may do it but I've yet to ever see one even close. In stock form I've yet to see a manual lose to an auto. In modified form the auto's are easily a match for the manuals... but thats not stock. I suggest that this thread get left alone until xr62nv has got an ET and posted up the time slip. The 60', 330' 1/8 MPH and 1/4 ET & MPH will tell the story as a fact. Until then its all speculation and estimation (and no, GTech times are not considered fact, no more so than a dyno figure will guess an ET.. and we all know what sort of guesswork that is). xr62nv.. get a time slip, its the only thing that will stop all the speculation. Until then theres no more point to this thread.

I dont like deleting threads if I dont have to.. but I will delete posts.
I want to know what time the car runs now.. as I'm sure a lot of others do to. Lets let the thread live until then at least.

A very good time indeed.
From what I've been told it was almost arctic temps at WSID last night, something like a zero track temp! That would have to have been the most perfect night for racing! I wish I was there!

Man, those 60 footers are something to work on. The G-tech wasnt too far off on that second run.
Good to see you go out and have a crack.

nuh no wheel spin.. My tyres are bald on the back so was going easy on take off (i.e taking off from 800rpm as oposed to my usual 1700-1800rpm) althogh thought the 60ft wasnt too bad
theres around 40-50kg in soundsystem in the boot (2 massive amps 10kg each and 100Litre 18mm sub box housing 2x12's.. and 0gage wireing all the way, very heavy stuff haha) and had over half my tank of fuel (mobil 98 octane all the way) |

With the 60's, I get 2.3's and 2.4's, out of the auto six, with hardly any mods, and run it through for 15.8's.

Fast vrx maybe your backbone is too short,every car is different maybe the au in question has a really good top end and sluggy bottom end as indicated by the quarter mile time and mph.
