Default Who would win??



Stavros and I are going to be running our cars at the strip shortly. So who would win?? My ute - 99 XR6 - has the following mods:

Custom intake (pod in carbon fibre airbox) with heat sheilding, direct airflow from grill.
Custom 2.5" SS exhaust system, 1 hotdog and 1 muffler
Custom flash tune at Autotech Engineering- 142.8 rwkw.

Just been serviced with new leads, iridium spark plugs, coil pack and fresh diff and engine oil. It flyssss, when the gearbox doesnt go all soggy :

Ill let stav put his stats up, as Im not entirely sure what he is running at the moment. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=35042

Should add that, both our cars are leafspring rear with Polyair air bag kits = you pump them up when you have weight in the back, stops sagging.

The wagon would take it I think. I'd be willing to take bets, offering 3-1 on the ute.

Darn I am putting my money on the ute..lol...not. Nar its anyones geuss who will be quicker. For my fellow au ute owner to be that confident sounds like hes got something up his sleeve? Maybe racing fuel and tune??heheh

In any case lets go and tear down the 1/4 at wsid and show em that the au ford sixes have their place in the world.
If you think you can beat my time then do it. You have more power than me as I last dynoed at 141 rwkws at autotech and you got 143..good luck and realistically lets go and have some safe fun.
