 |
|
| hey guys.. im from melbourne n there r so many people that run xr6turbos stock at the drags 1/4 mile.. but for some stupid reason i aint seen anyone run a stock one n beat a 15 second pass.. now to me thats s**t!!! but i wanna know who has ran a stoxk xr6t n whatthey ran.. cause if i ran my car.. n got no where near a 14 second mark even missing a gear i would cry.. my old el (also known as marks el) ran a 14.5 when i missed 3rd gear.. so this xr6t should run that easy.. but back to the car.. just want to know what people have ran.. thanks |

Stock BA mk1 manual ran a 13.9 up here at WSID on wed night.
The better mk1's are 14.0 give or take a couple of tenths.
I haven't seen one run more than 15's at the drags before... |

| Yeah I've heard of them running 16s lol. They can run anywhere up to a 13.9, but if they're slower than a 14.5 there's something wrong with it, underboosting or soemthing. |

some people can't drive.
i've seen a GT-P run a 17 no s**t.
I ran my bro's first time i'd ever driven a ba and ran a 14.8, and he could only manage 2x mid 15's.
i reckon his was good for a mid 14. |

Hahaha yeah.
The series ones don't have traction control though, so that's a minor problem, and I think I read somewhere they normally run quicker times when you don't manual shift them?
It's all about getting off the line right and changing smoothly. |

BA Mk1 XR6T's do have traction control, at least the Autos do, never driven a manual one. |

only the utes dont have traction control...
I've heard it said that adecent launch without traction control is actually quicker too, oweing to the tractioning control cutting in a little too early and limiting power |

That's the 6 speed auto ones though. Massive difference between that and 4 speed. |

I am no way mocking your ability to drive a manual but the xr6 Turbo manuals are just not as fast down the 1/4 mile as the autos, if you log onto www.fordxr6turbo.com and have a look around there it will give u an idea on what power people are running and 1/4 mile times that produces. (is yours a 5 or 6 speed manual??)
With the mods u have listed and the fact that u say u can drive a manual i reckon u should be able to manage high 13's (13.7 at a guess) as the exhaust wont make a huge difference as the standard exhaust is good for 330odd rwkw if u put in a 3.5' cat or bigger...
As for what i reccommend, an edit will give u best bang for your buck and has the ability to switch between 3 different tunes (can be custom tuned for around the $500 mark depending on who u get to tune it) and can even load your factory tune back in if required.. |
