Wow! Nice pickup Adam! I had no idea you were looking for another car. Welcome to the E-series V8 fraternity ;) Check out the Windsor forums, the mod possibilities for these engines is limitless.

I doubt he will be getting beaten by too many 6's. Maybe a few of the worked manual ones in the club. My car (EL Ghia V8) did 15.5 with just a cheap 2.5" cat-back. I don't know of any EL Ghia 6's that can say the same. Apart from that, Adam's is the 185kW so I'd expect his to be even quicker than mine.

Very nice pick up, i had a quick look at your old EF up near Luna Park when i was picking up my sunroof.

Again, welcome to the E-Series V8 club... even if it does get beaten by a 6, the 8's sound better :p See you at Pier 35 on the 20th

Adz - top car mate. welcome tothe EL series 2 XR8 club!! Just needs to be droppped a little bit!!

In my experiences against the XR6 or 6 cycls, they are a bit nippier from the get go, but when the XR8 auto changes to 2nd gear it just go's!!

Ur ET time Kenaz is interesting for a ghia. I woulda thought it woulda been a bit slower, are you running the 3:45 diff ? Woner what the XR8's can do down the strip then!! V8 power second to none!!

Yes i have noticed that, once the auto changes into 2nd she flies.
