They are generally faster than those times, but it really comes down to how much of a good peddeler you are with a manual..
Should be able to get down to about 7.2 sec 0-100(wheelspin, im down to about 6.5now) and around 15.2 sec down the 1/4 Well thats what I got in my bog stock AU 5speed on my first night out at the track. |

An exhaust upgrade and a flash tune will see the intech nearly up to stock XR8 times (AU1).

Yeah plus there is way less modding prospects on the VCT, if that's your thing

There would be 1/10th of stuff all between an AU1 manual XR6 and AU1 manual XR8...
Auto would be in the XR8's favour.. just. I agree with Twisted EL.. If you want to mod it alot go for the HP.. easier and cheaper and there is alot of aftermarket support.. VCT is starting to look up, but there isnt much available for them yet.. Just ask Casper.. does the word custom mean anything to you? everything needs be built or made to suit the vct theres nothing 'off the shelf' so to speak. |

I went custom because with my original off the shelf exhaust etc I just wasnt happy with the potential of them. Results were good but they were not capable of dealing with future plans I have. So I went custom to ensure "upgradability". That said though, a cam is the most common and easiest power mod and, apart from the G&D one and a JMM regrind, theres nothing really out there.
