Hey guys kind of a new user here i just need some information or HELP on the EL and AU Xr6 i will be very very soon buying a Xr6 but dont no witch one to go for as i know what everyone thinks of the AU as it looks shit i just care in performance wise and Problems wise

AU FTL
EL FTW

EF/L XR6 in manual would be my chioce.

an au2 xr6 is pretty decent. better engine and generally dont have e-series issues. also handle better as well.

TNX man its what i mostly would of thought but im no manual driver ill prob blow the tranni up b4 i take off

el/f is the way to go its chaeper so that means more coin to spend on it

Yeah I'd probably go AU2 or 3, IRS, more reliable, better built, just generally a newer car!
The series 2 and 3 XRs don't look as bad as series 1 either.
PLUS AU prices are cheap as fck now, you wouldn't be paying that much more over EL, and you get a car that is alot better in everything except aesthetics.

Id be going ELXR6 for looks, but AUXR6 for value! That and the fact you can have a hell of alot more choice in wheels without adapters.

Give it a few more weeks and you will be abe to pick up the AU2 xrs pretty cheap after the Fg has been on the market. Go for a manual AUII-AUIII XR6 you will get better brakes IRS better looking interior it will hold its value better plus the wheel options as stated are better if you can find a AUIII XR6 SP or Sprint they came with the rebel/havok bodykit however they only came in vct which can limit future mods also they were only available in manual.

i would be going for a el xr6 but the AUs are newer

I was in the same predicament my criteria was it had to be an XR6 manual and i wanted Navey Blue I had a deposit on a EL XR6 NAvyblue on EL Gt's must have been 5 years ago now the day after i put the deposit down a Red AU xr6 manual popped up for an un beatable price, El was $18 500 and the au was $19 500 it was cheap for an AU1 back then they were still fetching 23k + i got him down to $17500 on the road.

I Know alot of you guys are saying Elxr6 would be cheaper but but from browsing to buy there only 1g diffrent and also there are alot of ELxr6 that go higher in prices than the AUxr6selling also there are tone of ELxr6 going way over 11Gs

What about the KW are the cars power the same witch i guess they are and also wat is the Ratios for both

I would go an AU as long as it had a bodykit and was in pretty decent condition. The only problem with AUs was the "cockroach" design, but the bodykit breaks that up a bit.

Power is similar for EL/AU XR6 models, VCT version being a tiny bit more than the standard XR6. Gear ratios would also be pretty similar, if not the same.

If you can read this



buy an EL

Power specs

AU XR6 VCT - 172KW at the Flywheel
AU XR6 - 164KW at the flywheel
EL XR6 - 164KW at the flywheel

The AU will deliver the power in a smoother and more refined way. Some members that have converted their cars to standard AU engines have noticed they are smoother at deivering the power.

Lol @ Daves randomness. Im not a fan of AUs so I say go EL.

I Rather go Performance than looks can always make a Au look good enough

Wasn't the EB XR6 the fastest on the 1/4 until the BA XR6 because of it weight differences?

EB-ED XR6 and a T5 ftw.

Anyone selling an Au vct in 1 month

Man i races an au xr6 with work done to it and my ea was stock not even a xr6. i ran a 15.2 the au ran a 15.7 best time. mine is a manual and his was a auto.
but i have raced heaps of xr6 au el in manual and beaten them, havent lost to one.

Yeah the later XRs were much heavier than your EA or my EB, and they suffered for it. (plus the autos were pretty tame).

Get an AU, with a body kit they can look pretty good.
As the others have said, less e-seires issues and better performance/handling... better interior also.
Ford wouldnt release a car worse than the model before...
