'gti-r man', you have to remember that the XR6T weigh's close to 1.9 tonne...not really a fair challenge.

Try 1700kg. Ive been on a public weighbridge to obtain this figure, tank was almost empty if I recall. I wasnt in vehicle at the time.

I would love to, but as I said when I started this thread, I had never ever done an actual 1 on 1 drag till last night. I am guessing you are refering to a drag raceway in Sydeny. Is it willowbank?

I wouldn't know who to see, what my car had to have done to it, where to go, or what to do. :w00t2:

Would be nice though. Problem is I only get weekdays off. Monday / tuesady one week, and just wednesday the next. So I doubt if this is when they have there meets.

I might make it to Sydney for the Motor show the week after next. Will get mine on the dyno also if I can get it booked in.

Would be nice to know officialy what mine would do though.

That is so tempting. Shame its not monday or tuesday. Since I live 4 hours away, Wednesday night would be out of the question as I work at 6am Thurdays. IF were mon or tue I could say over night or change things, but any other night is a total screwup. Guess I will have to wait for the 1/8 drags out here, but its not the same is it. :kissmy:

Guess I will have to wait till I move, then I will have some fun. I know my brother has a slip for his ba xr6 n/a ute. Got it in brisbane.

Thanks anyway ducatijb. And thanks for the offer of a helmet. I bet there would be a 50 xr6t's there just to watch me get sand kicked in my face by one of your own. Which would be a great laugh.....for all.... :w00t2:

I wonder which car is better balanced. The T obviously. Everybody knows that Nissan made the biggest design mistake of all time by making the GTi-R the most front heavy unbalanced piece of crap. Absolute design mistake. It's a pitty really, because the mechanics are trully remarkable.
