I'd tip either of the AUs. Give them an Edit and you'd be stuffed.

AU XR6 For sure? Wouldn't think extractors would make a plain AU upto XR6 standards?

If the AU is not Edited the EB should have a chance, in my opinion. Of course I could be wrong but I so think it would be pretty close.

au's are a big car, everybody said the same thing bout when i wanted to see if my car was faster than mums BA, i think if you are a decent manual driver you should beat an au.

The winner will be the guy who hides the blue bottle in his boot.

I have experienced first hand the difference between a stock E series Motor and a stock AU motor in the same car with the same exhaust mods.

1 of the AUs for sure.
