Who would win between a 2001 r34 manual stock standard gt-t vs a ford xr6 ute.. 4l straight 6, 4 speed automatic from a standing start?

Sorry if this post seems out of place in this thread, but does anyone know the differences between XR6 sedan and ute in terms of weight, drag coefficients, performances, etc. with the same spec? i.e 4L straight 6, 4 speed automatic, etc.

The reason I asked is I've been in a friend's stock R34 manual GT-T coupe while cruising with another friend's modified auto XR6 sedan. They are both good drivers.

On the free way, they gave it abit go. XR6 auto won, hands down. :P

wats a stock 25 got 185kw?? standard 4ltr falcons are 182kw i believe so i can see it beeing close race... falcon is heavier but most likely has more torque.

LOL rowan......

I wouldn't know anything about R34s and Falcons. But my friend's Falcon was modified, has forged injectors, exhaust, blowoff valve, etc. and he used to take it to the Barbagallo on every Wednesday nights.

That's probably why his is alot faster than stock R34 manual coupe.

What are forged injectors? lol. Blowoff valve isn't a performance mod, but it does mean the Falcon was an XR6T not just an XR6. Of course a modified XR6T is going to demolish a stock R34 lol.

no it could be a na with a fake bov, mighty car mods style

Sorry, I meant forged pistons, injectors, etc., and yes, it was an auto XR6T. :P

automatic transmissions are always quicker.

Why are all drag cars auto's?

There is difference between a falcon eb auto gearbox and a Lenco drag transmission lol. In reference the Nissan turbo cars all the manual models from factory are quicker than the auto counterparts with stock ET's and thats generally across with board. Drag cars are a different story.

dunno what year the xr6 turbo was, but they come out of the factory with about 240 or 260kw, so i wouldnt be too gutted, those things are quite brisk even without mods. especially the latest models, bloody hell.

I think his is 2003-2004, not the new one.

But yeah, freaking quick.

    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks
