95 Statesman 5L V8 vs an AU2 XR8

Statesman is 165kw, au was 200kw

who would win? My mate says his statesman completly slaughtered the AU, is this possible?

Sourbastard · 03-12-2005, 05:04 PM

Who cares. Morris Mini vs Humber super Snipe.... who cares... Suzuki swift vs sidewinder powered skate board... who cares....

Take em to a drag strip, find out.
Street racing is illegal.

(My money is on the AU by about 6-8 carlenghts though)

RavenLS1 · 03-12-2005, 05:08 PM

the AU would kickass against a stato!

no one believes him cause he's lieing.
my AU1 XR6 destroyed a VS clubsport 195.. somehow I doubt a stock Stato would be any trouble for an AU2 XR8

the mighty vct at its best

It comes down to the driver as well. On paper the XR8 has more power and lighter and has been tested with a quicker 1/4.

But if the stato gets the jump on him car and bit length its all over the XR8 probably wont have the power to reel him in before 1/4 distance so therefore the stato wins. Its simple.

They both take off at the same time and the stato will get munched.

Dont agree at all. I got the jump on a clubsport and was waiting for him to reel me in.. I pulled away.
I have also had the jump on an XR8.. it reeled me in just after 1/2 track.

The AU XR8 could give the stato almost a second head start and still win on a 1/4 run.

You probably had more power then the clubsport....on the other hand your probably right over the 1/4 the XR8 would reel it in, but I doubt they were racing down the quarter.

If you want, I can give you a headstart anytime and you can watch me reel you in. :hihi:

I doubt very much that I have much more than 195kw. In fact I doubt I've got that. I dont know what the difference is but I took on a VS SS manual and beat that twice at Heathcote too. Go figure. They just dont seem to have a lot of top end.

I have no doubt you would.. but dont think you could give away too much you might get a surprise.

Edit.. then again:
xr8gn3: 15.159@92.81
Casper: 15.024@93.54 (pre hi stall)
Maybe I should give you the headstart

: (and yes, I know you now have a BA.. just giving you a hard time)

No worries Casper, it was upsetting seeing a six in front of me after all the work I put into the EL with all the mods Im sure if I got a Unichip or even took it down to the WSID after I put the rockers, underdrives and factory air box in I wouldve been in the 14s.

But never mind, the future is bright with the BOSS and dont worry I never underestimate 6s. ;)

scary thing is that, as far as I6's on AFF go, mines one of the slow ones too. Still, the BA XR8 gives you a pretty handy buffer over the I6's now.

Grechie · 03-12-2005, 08:00 PM

are we talking both cares manual (stato n xr8) , wot if the stato is manual n the xr8 is auto

SUPER MARIO FTW!!!

Anyway... The AUII XR8 would sh*t it in. Ive smashed plenty of 5.0L stato's in my EL XR6 (at calder of course)

Stato's dont come in manual

RG · 03-12-2005, 08:12 PM

Does the guy with the stato also have a cousin with a 9sec VL?

MustangNicko · 03-12-2005, 08:17 PM

Its always a 9 second VL or 9 second RX3. Nubs.

Yeah...........righto................

Maybe this occurred on a public road and the AU driver had the maturity NOT to race.

Smoke Pursuit · 03-12-2005, 09:26 PM

Haha a gas pack AU stocko would beat a Statesmen V8.. Those things a heavy and slow!

SSBUB · 03-12-2005, 09:28 PM

Interesting thread, i presume the AU would win, but i have come across a fast stato once (vq i think?) and i only just beat that....i guess it depends if your stock vs stock....not many stock statos of that age out there anymore you would think? They are all now a cheapish price for hoons to grab and dress up these days. My mates oldies have a vct au xr6 with only 50k on the clock, its been babied and is for sale if your in WA. But that thing flies, we took it for a hammer once (without his olds in the car!), and they do go the old AU's.

Swordie · 03-12-2005, 09:45 PM

If both are stock I would pick the AUII XR8.

The Monty · 03-12-2005, 10:45 PM

Whats would win. A bugatti Veyron or a vt exec? Its just that ny mates cousins dads brother in laws friend beat a Bugatti in his exec and I dont know if its true? Can someone help me out?

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha...good call.

davocol · 03-12-2005, 11:12 PM

The au xr8 would win by a country mile, the guy is dreaming if he thinks otherwise.

Bossxr8 · 04-12-2005, 12:15 AM

My EL XR8 smashed a VS Stato a few months ago, and it only has the 170 kw motor, so an AU XR8 would demolish it. Was the Stato stock or modified?
