Has anyone raced a stock XR6T against an stock XR8 over a quarter mile?
I would think that the extra 20kw in the xr8 would get it over the line, but a few people (who dont know that much about cars) have tried to argue with me that the xr6t would beat a ba xr8 so i was just wondering if anyone has done it? |

If I was a betting man, my money would be on the Xr6T - I think it would be extremley close though.

i'm calling the XR8 over the 1/4. but an XR6T would win hands down 0-100.
the Turbo has got alot better initial Acceleration. but the XR8 would reel it in at bout the 350 metre mark. |

The 8s may be slugs under 3000rpm...but when you race you give it heaps of revs so that is canceled out.On the street its obviously different... |

all i can say is a friend of mine had an xr6t and traded it on a xr8 he says the xr8 is faster hands down his opinion . i'd say it would be a very close call.

have driven a bout three T's(2 auto 1 manual) and 2 xr8's(1 auto and 1 manual) and agree with above
maybe if the t stalled up on boost would initially be in front but from what ive driven the xr8's are faster mind you there are some better than others and im not biased as i went out specifically to buy a T drove 2 (in standard form) and decided to test drive an xr8 walked out that day with an xr8 sounded better and no doubt compared to the standard t's was faster, the only thing that lets them down is getting off the line with not a huge amount of off idle torque and heavy car as well as gearing. thats my experience with the two but all cars are different and there are definitely some faster than others |
