about mid 15's to low 16's if a little tired, a stock El xr8 will never run 14's. |

Stock as rock, I would estimate that it would run any where from a mid 15 to a low 16 depending on the transmission and condition of the car. An EL XR6 manual is probably just as fast, dare I say.

Stop guessing guys. By the way, the live axle hooks up better than the irs of the au, and it was also a fair bit ligther, so they were quicker given that the first au had exactly the same engine-trans combo. |

youd go a mid 15 at best. probably a high 15 depends how good you can launch and drive.

Mid to low 15s depending on condition, k's and how well you can drive. A series 2 EL XR8 could probably do a very low 15 maybe high 14.
When my Ghia was 100% stock it did a 15.8 so if a manual EL with the same engine and less weight can't run better than 15.5 I'd be worried.

Mid 15s would be my guess for a good condition 185kw version. High 15s for a 170kw series 1.

GTP owner, do you remember your 60 foot time? My old series 2 el (auto) did a best of 15.1 @ 90mph, no major mods just a 3" cat back exhaust, but my 60 foot was only 2.2, maybe the manuals get off the line a bit better.
