Who would win between a 2001 r34 manual stock standard gt-t vs a ford xr6 ute.. 4l straight 6, 4 speed automatic from a standing start?

Sorry if this post seems out of place in this thread, but does anyone know the differences between XR6 sedan and ute in terms of weight, drag coefficients, performances, etc. with the same spec? i.e 4L straight 6, 4 speed automatic, etc.

The reason I asked is I've been in a friend's stock R34 manual GT-T coupe while cruising with another friend's modified auto XR6 sedan. They are both good drivers.

On the free way, they gave it abit go. XR6 auto won, hands down.

The utes are actually heavier by about 60kg.

wats a stock 25 got 185kw?? standard 4ltr falcons are 182kw i believe so i can see it beeing close race... falcon is heavier but most likely has more torque.

LOL rowan......

I wouldn't know anything about R34s and Falcons. But my friend's Falcon was modified, has forged injectors, exhaust, blowoff valve, etc. and he used to take it to the Barbagallo on every Wednesday nights.

That's probably why his is alot faster than stock R34 manual coupe.

What are forged injectors? lol. Blowoff valve isn't a performance mod, but it does mean the Falcon was an XR6T not just an XR6. Of course a modified XR6T is going to demolish a stock R34 lol.

Sorry, I meant forged pistons, injectors, etc., and yes, it was an auto XR6T.

someone google the stock 1/4 times.. pretty sure a na auto falcon would do a 15.

automatic transmissions are always quicker.

Why are all drag cars auto's?

There is difference between a falcon eb auto gearbox and a Lenco drag transmission lol. In reference the Nissan turbo cars all the manual models from factory are quicker than the auto counterparts with stock ET's and thats generally across with board. Drag cars are a different story.

dunno what year the xr6 turbo was, but they come out of the factory with about 240 or 260kw, so i wouldnt be too gutted, those things are quite brisk even without mods. especially the latest models, bloody hell.

I think his is 2003-2004, not the new one.

But yeah, freaking quick.
