450hp will do it if your car is set up well. Is it full weight? The less weight the less power you need. A forum member has a drag only XF Ute and that weighs about 3200lb with him in it and it runs around 11 flat at that weight N/A

Not as much as you may think!

Our Monaro weighs ~3950lbs and has run 12.09 @ 113mph.

Our Territory weighs ~5000lbs and has run 11.8@ 116mph.

Weight shifted horsepower calculates ~450hp for the Monaro and ~605hp for the Territory. Both of these are in line with the recorded dyno figures for both cars.

Our Monaro also has a small stally and street gears and probably weighs a lot more than your car.

With a bigger stally and 4.11s it potentially could run as low as 11.6.
