Default Stock XR8 - 13.71 @ WSID

Took my BF XR8 auto to WSID last night and came back pretty impressed.

First run was a 14.641, too much wheelspin by loading up the torque converter. But I did manage to reach 165.19km/h.

Second run, I took out the air filter, and didn't load up the torque converter at all, just brake off and accelerate.

60' - 2.159
330' - 4.986
660' - 8.949
ET - 13.710
Mph - 101.92
Km/h - 164.03

This is a car with standard exhaust, standard road tyres, spare wheel and jack on board, plus two baby seats in the back and I even had 3/4 of a tank of normal unleaded fuel, but a pretty light driver at 57kg.

What is the quickest stock time you have heard of for an XR8?

Timesheet for both runs attached
