That's a very comprehensive list, well done!
Just a point, Wheels made an error regarding the AUI XR8's torque. It's 412nm, not 402nm. The mag made a typo. Also, Motor got a 7.11 (and 15.3 for the quarter) out of an auto AUI XR8, which I was quite surprised about. I think the best they got out of the manual AUI XR8 was 7.2 and 14.9 for the quarter. If an auto did 7.11, I'm guessing the manual would be able to at least do a flat 7? Has anyone taken their own stock AUI XR8 to the drags to find out what it can actually do? I know people who have done 7.6s with stock manual XR6 HPs (whereas the mags could only get a best of 7.88).
As for the modding thing, I agree; to get a 13 second E-series would be a lot more satisfying than a 12 second BA. I'd say there would be a greater sense of achievment involved in the former effort.
