I doubt it, if you comparing it to V8 XT. 470NM of torque the EL just cant compete, even the sixes can get movin after a few mods. Every other category the BA would easily come out on top, the looks is what the ELs got goin for it.

The XR will win, but in stock form not by much, less then 0.5sec down the quarter.

BA 6 = 1694
BA 8 = 1747 Probably 100-150kg heavier in each case than the EL's... |

I've beaten a BA 6 ute by a decent margin, however my car is the series 2 xr8 which was 185kw/412nm also with 3.45lsd and 5 speed. The torque in the earlier model el xr8 might just get it over the line against a ba 6, plus they are lighter, so as long as your a decent driver you should win. Another disadvantage for the older el xr8 is that they had a taller diff ratio - 3.23
