Default SII XR8 ute auto times

Hi all,
Just wanted an idea of what time's other owners of 200kw auto ute's are doing. Raced mine last night and the best I got was 15.074@91.87mph I would hav ethought this to be a little slow I was expecting a high 14 but was I expecting too much from the old girl.

Neil

A 15.0 at ~92mph sounds pretty good. Is it stock? I'd be interested in seeing the rest of your timeslip details...

My PB and mods are in my sig. I am hanging to get back out again since the last V8O private track day was cancelled.

For a stock XR8 ute thats actually a very good time.

A lot of XR8 auto's don't manage to do as well as that.

14's would be awful good for a 200kw. A 220kw manual sedan which is lighter and more powerful might only get 14.4-14.8.

All I've done is put a ss industion on and k&n filter and had the rear muffler cut off (just to make it sound like a v8) it needs a full exhaust to help it rev out more still debating on which extrators to use. I'll post time slips later on.
