Question What 1?4 times from an AUXR6?

Does anyone know what times a stock Automatic AUIII XR6 HP (164kw - non LSD)
should be running?

I ran a 15.95 @ 87.9mph, with brand new extractors and hi flow cat but standard from there back.
Should I be dissappointed?

not always. From mid AU2 the HP had LSD as an option. Most AU3 HP's dont actually have LSD.
As for times, factory stock HP's with Auto's should run somewhere between 15.8 and 16.0

They may have but what they claim and what is reality are 2 different things. I've seen auto HP's go faster and I've seen manual HP's go slower. Only way to know is to get it to a track.

Correct because they claimed that XF's ran high 16's stock and we all know that ain't reality

I'm keen to get my Dad's AU Futura out there... Any idea if it would crack a 15? Stock EF auto was good for a flat 16 and AU is slightly lighter car.

15.9 was run in drive with adaptive shift set to Maximum performance.
I ran 16.1 changing manually so I tried short shifting into 2nd and ran 16.2
so I went back to drive and thats when I went 15.9.

Also, Casper is correct, it definately doesn't have an LSD. Which I didn't find out until after I bought the car as I just assumed it did.
Every 60' time was a 2.5 something even when I felt wheelspin

p.s. Thanks for the encouragement Chris. Wonder what Heathcote might bring? No heatwaves or strong headwinds please.
