just imagine they are both manual or auto with similar KMs considering age etc.. HP 0-100. I wouldn't have a clue as I've never driven a VL, interesting though

Stock for stock in VL for sure.. although the chances of finding a completely unmodified VL would be fairly small..
If they were both stock and "new" and it was a Manual VCT vs a manual VL the XR would probably beat it. The Calais turbos did like a 15.6 stock.. pretty impressive for 1988.. But then again it is the best Holden ever made.. as its the only one with a Nissan engine..

yea Cam, it is very impressive for a 1988 model like you said, which is why I was curious

Vl's are sicker so they must be quicker

VL turbos in stock form werent that quick. They used to get high 15s from memory. One of the early E series like the EA S pack or EB XR6(cant remember which one) recorded a quicker time back in the day. One of my old mates bought one the same time I bought my EF with a 4.0 manual and he said my car felt quicker after driving in it. After a couple of mods though it was like chalk and cheese.

Back to the point, the time being thrown around of 15.6 is about right but this is for a Automatic Calais. This would be on par with a manual AU I would think.

FPV's site quotes a 15.5 400m for an EB XR6 Manual so an AU would be similar. http://www.******************/falcon.../aufalcon.html Reckons 15.9 for AU XR6 Manual So if the VL hits mid to high 15s then its down to the driver.
