You people are like children. As long as it's got a V8 and has the Blue Oval on it, who really cares how fast it is?

Hell look at Whoosha's, with very minimal mods his ran a 13.7 and when mine was stockish it had no issue keeping up with a BA XR8.

russel you say there were many variables in the 220's when tuned i think this clears this all up as you can see from here i think this is fairly impressive with all cars tuned by different tuners.

202.4 rwkw 5L XR8 Sedan Man - AUXR8220
201.3 rwkw 5L XR8 220 Sedan Manual - James22
201.2 rwkw 5l XR8 220 sed. man. Whoosha
200.2 rwkw 5L XR8 Sedan Man - Stavros

i think craigau3220 is up there and a bit above this on power figures aswell.

i love the look of the series 2/3 au's, love the sound of the 5L, i cant wait for my car to get back up to scratch so i can enjoy it again. i have let it go for the last year and a half and it needs a little bit of cash spent on it but even with it in its crappy form at the moment it still gives me a smile each time it starts up.

211.9 rwkw. But i do think the dyno was being a little generous.

On the black dyno best is 13.70@100.78mph
