Xr6turbo's are lucky to break 120mph with 330rwkw. Have to admire any car that makes serious HP macka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOOT Member 1,201 Member For: 21y 6m 21d Location: Birkdale Posted 02/01/05 09:18 PM Author Share Posted 02/01/05 09:18 PM Just goes to show that 1/4 mile times don't mean stuff all in the real world. Motor mag keep getting mid to high 13s for stock SS Commodores, and occasionly someone will repeat that time in the real world, but you hardly ever see it. Yet when you race them on the road, the SS doesn't accelarate all that fast. I think 90% of its fast 1/4 is in the launch!Roll ons on the freeway... where's the torque from the 5.7?I only managed a 14.7 at willowbank, yet I have matched a modified LS1 in a VY ute both roll on and standing start. Yet motor advertises 13s for such a car, and it gets its arse handed to it by a 14s car.Its getting beaten by another driver not the car itself!

I think they're scared!Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
