Just wondering what has been the fastest time recorded for a BA XR8 (ute or sedan) without a tune (flash or chip)?

I was racing next to PhantomXR8 on wed all night and we both run 13.7. Mine was with 103mph and Craig's should have been easy that but he dropped right back with the missed gear before the line and run his worst mph for the night @ 98. all the other passes were at 102-103. the purple beast flies!
Great stuff Craig. :eclipsee_

Yeh I was talking about a full stock XR8, Craig's(Phantom) car goes realy good with a factory tune. As you said Craig the more k's on these donks the better.

Old Rays (OFR-CEO) BA XR8 Sedan, Rodderz Driving also went 13.6...
I am sure rodderz went 13.6 in his own ute before he had a chip...

![]() After I got the chip I tried using better rubber and ever since the clutch has gone downhill, now it's at the stage where I havent driven it since Heathcote! I did gain 5mph and a 10th or so however with the chip, but with a better clutch it would be pretty close to Kev's 13.2 I reckon |

there have been a few dead stockers, one blueprint ute who used to come out with us went a 13.79 with a 2.10 60 which was memorable - Jeff even with his worn out clutch can still rip a low 70 out when he needs to. Best untuned auto's I have seen with std gears and converters are around the 14.1 - i havent seen a 13 sec stock auto 260 yet..... |

Mate to be honest the DJR is an over priced XR8 and they don't really feel any different to drive power wise to a XR8.....
