Doin us proud

[Gav]

Glad to hear it Mark.

The low down grunt of the ute definately takes a lot of turbo drivers by surprise. Felt as quick as my old S15 when you took me for a spin.

BTW my "R" is now in the docks going through the customs crap.

Hope to have it ready by Xmas.

One of the only runs I've had with a Commadore was with a GTS 300kw one.

Rolling start from the bottom of 2nd gear, it was a close run - very close, but at the top of third I was pulling away JUST.

I must say that they sound GREAT, I'm not sure if it had a standard exhaust, but damn it sounded good.

At that stage I just had full exhaust, 12psi and pod with CAI.

I have no idea what 1/4 times I'd do - I'd say about a 15-16 sec pass due to my crappy reaction time !!! :bahaha: :bahaha:

And I have no idea what sort of rwkw I have, once I get a new ECU I'll do a dyno run

[summoner]

reaction time has nothing to do with 1/4mile time.

thats it if i could give a damn i'd type up a drag racing basics thread for u lot

So what's the big deal?

If someone says they beat a commie, why don't you believe them?

[summoner]

why? because everytime i go on a cruise with a bunch of commodore killers me and mates never see any of it happening. So either i cruise with the wrong crowd or maybe they just race slower commodores than mine.

Most cases i hear of commodores being beaten its because they're a dressed up 6cyl auto banger..

eitherway its a good kill, and i am still curious as to his 1/4mile times.

for those are gonna go wrx hunting, waite 2 months so i can then bring it out any time rather than work around person we've lent ours too

Hicks ran mid 14s when I was at the wed night drags. He might have run a low 14? It wasn't a nice track prep and the commo's & HSV 300kw/255's most were in the mid/high 14's for that night. Couple of good ones (worked) got low 14's and there was one or two in high 13's. There was quite a good turn out of holdens and it gave a pretty fair comparison of performance (ie: everyone had to contend with the same crap track).

I don't think you can muck around with the 5.7s if you expect to beat them on the street. I've won against most of the different models, not lost yet. However there are some very fast ones on the street that will show a clean pair of heals to my dunger.

my dad just bought a VY SS last week or so.. gave him a run down tonkin hwy sunday and he got me by a car length or so at 160 odd km/h

i had it pinned to redline through all the gears whereas he only took it to 4k5 each time.

Summoner: they got much more grunt after that?

gunna have to ask him for a turbo or intercooler for xmas i think.

:D

You NEED mods man, a vy ss shouldn't be beaten ya by a cars length at 160.

You should kill it!!

Whats goin on with the track lately, My best time was 14.2.

I plan to get highish 13's this wednesday. Gonna chuck my stock rims on the back so I can do a bit of a burn out before hand.

One of the blokes I work with is gettin me some slicks. Shit yeah!

[summoner]

mine pulls healthily till around 240/250 then its a slow creep to 260

[Hicks]

Worst thing bout jap cars, 180 on the clock.

That wed they skimped on the VHT for sure. The factory time for the gtst r33 is 14.2, I'd say a factory claim like that translates to a high 14 or low 15 on a night like that at the plex.I pulled a better time than most of the Commo's there and that makes sense because I beat them on the street too.

thats if u call low to mid 13's slow

[Spada33]

Whilst on the subject - my mate just picked up his brand spanka VY Clubbie - HSV have done a good job in improving the suspension and handling...

I had a few runs with him yesterday and I had him to about 160 then he slowly started to creep on me (I only have exhaust & pod)

What about in the twisties lads? Throw in a few corners? How are your Skyline's then?

Should chop most Oz made cars surely...

Straight line speed whilst fun, is no where near as much fun an hard cornering!

[Hicks]

I agree.
