    XR6 would win on both.

    I have a BF XR6 as a work car, great car. So much smoother than the holden 6's. The Ford handles so much better on corners.

    Go the BA. I reckon it goes heaps harder than the Alloytech. It also looks a ****load better than the VY.

    For some reason it's become the perfect P plater car though.

    Not sure you would want to take either cars to a drag or circuit though. It's a bad thing to base a decision for a non racecar on.

    Default Truth...

    Ba would win!!
    A workmate has a BF, that runs consistent 14.5 1/4's...No Mods!! Freek!!

    I can Beat a BAXR6, but I have spent some cash on mine!!
    Engine and suspension!! so yeh Stock for stock, XR6 would win overall...
    When my car was stock, I ran a few BA XR6's, and always came out on top, but only by a very small margin, Manuals are more fun to drive, but slower 0-100!!

    My 2 cents....
    If I'm not pulling Toyota's out of the Bush, I'm pulling 12's in the Sig :-)

    Unless you're an insane shifter like my mate, its possible to get to 100km/h very quickly in a manual.
