Gday fellow blue oval nuts! A mate and i are about to have a drag to see who has the fastest car. we know that they will both stop at 180 but it is the first to get there; good thinking. the cars are a 98 EL pov pack with 150000 on the clock and a 4 speed. the other is an 02 AU XR6 ute with 200000 on it, also with a 4 speed. although the au will have a xr gearing, i think my el will win as it has more weight over the rears and less mileage on it. what do you all think?...

Also they make 174kw. VCT powered ghia models have 172kw due to diferent exhaust.

Though I'm not 100% sure bout the ute side of things, the power figures were: XR6 VCT had 172kW - 374nm Ghia's VCT had 168kW - 370nm due to your reason.
