wow, thats a slow race. the 200ci wasn't a fast car, i had a worked 250 in my old XE & changed heads on a mates 200 XF then drove it home for him i couldn't beleive how slow it accelerated. never been in a VK but the 202 wasn't quick either
XE, 90kw carb, 111kw efi
VK, 86kw carb or 106kw efi

It's a bit of fun. Also with cars that are easy and cheap enough to fix up should something break under the strain.

My money's on the XE. The VK is lighter, but on LPG.

No matter which car wins, everyone is a loser in that race.

Thanks to Sir Isaac Newton we know that if they are both pushed off a cliff they will reach the bottom at the same time and thus it would be a tie.
