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

[[Sterling]]

AU FTL
EL FTW

EF/L XR6 in manual would be my chioce.

[John_LS1]

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

[EB_GLI92]

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

[Steady]

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.

[Bomber]

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 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.

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

[nommic]

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.

[Commando]

If you can read this



buy an EL

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

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.

[Eb Barbie]

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

[six]

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

[serial_fool]

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.

[serial_fool]

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

[Jake]

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...
