VZ HSV LS2

[BlueXR6Turbo]

so true

but you cant look at the new hsv and go my t with a phase3 would beat it just think 10k on an ls2 and you get a aps twin tubo kit and there isnt any t's around that could touch that

which is why im looking at selling my car

If the prices above are anything to go by for the LS2, it's already about $12,000+ more than a stock XR6T. Add an APS phase 3 and it would still cost less than a stock LS2.

[geea]

ok people look at it this way

the new hsv ls2 will eat all the new fords no matter what way you look at it cause it was faster than them before with the ls1

you can go on about the f6 all you want but its going ever going to be a v8 nor beat a ls2

ford just needs to pull there finger out and start putting some power into there engines take some weight out of the cars then it will be interesting

and even if they do bring a gtho out there is going to be a 373kwatt gts out later this year and I dont think the gtho will beat that

I have to disagree Adam. My car standard never had a problem with standard HSV's.

I also doubt that there will be any Holdens I'm going to meet on the street that will beat me either. If you have a look at the LS1 site's drag times anything in the 11's aint on standard street rubber. I don't doubt that a twin turbo LS2 on slicks would flog me, it would beat me easy. Put that same car on street tyres and by the time he gets traction I'm that far away I'll need to send him a postcard.

The Expensive Daewoo guys remove interiors and the like chasing that extra 1/100th, whats the point. At a set of lights you can't ask the guy your lining up against to wait whilst slicks are put on and you've removed half the interior.

Anytime APS or anyone else wants to run me at Calder with their twin turbos on street tyres I'll be there with bells on.

Geea.

craig your car is fast for what it is but you wouldnt beat a twin turbo ls1 most of them run slicks cause they have too much power to get traction

I ran slicks because I couldnt get traction I will never run my xr6t on street rubber because I cant get traction in this car either

I ran a 12 flat at 122mph on street tyres with only 280 at the wheels in my gto your time is good but not that good considering the power you have

I know of many ls1 with only 240rwkw to 250rwkw that run high to mid 11's on streer rubber

I have had both cars I think I know what im talking about more than most people on here just some people are way to one sided

in standard form the ls2 is and will kill the fords there is no if buts or maybes

the xr6t is a great car for the price range but there are many better cars out there

I could give you a list of things my gto did better than an xr6t and vice versa

I think some people need to give respect to a car for what it is

none of this

Expensive Daewoo is

ford is

cause next to a bmw or audi or so they are both

Adam I have just checked the times on the LS1 forum. HERE? is the link, (you might need to be a member. All the times above me are on slick except the one directly above me and he was on drag radials. I don't doubt that there are lots of quicker more powerful Holdens out there than mine. Its just my experience out at Calder and on the street that if they aren't running slicks they can't get traction and if they can't get tration they aren't that quick. Power is no good if you can't utilise it.

craig your car is fast for what it is but you wouldnt beat a twin turbo ls1 most of them run slicks cause they have too much power to get traction

This is my exact point Adam they cant get traction. On the street if you can't get traction you lose. You can't use slicks on the street.

I'll run any twinturbo LS1 you like at Calder on street rubber cause they wont get traction and I will. Therefore I'll win. If we run on slicks I wouldn't stand a chance, but that's not what we are discussing. We are discussing the times cars can run on street tyres.

I'm confident that if I run a twin turbo LS1 at a set of light around Melbourne that I would comfortably beat it. By the time he gets traction and catches me I'll be easing off cause we'll be going to quick.

P.S. Hows your mate going with the centre caps and when you coming down to the club for a drink.

Geea.

[Guest xrtwpn]

ill come down for a drink once my piece of car is on the road again im really not happy with it at the moment

At least our engines are 100% Aussie from go to whoa...unlike those Yankee/Expensive Daewoo ones.

As far as I know the "T" doesn't use Mustang heads. Also I believe that Kraft is owed by the Americans too.

Geea.

Geea.

There wasn't any mention of the T.

But both can't claim there V8's really, To to some degree both can claim the 6.

Think kraft is or was phillip morris now another owns it?

And a canadian made the Gen Engines Same as the boss the yanks really don't do much most of the designs are from a canadian people :lol:

if you want to get really worried in the states they have twin turbo version of the new alloytec v6 making 1500horsepower and running 8 second passes

but in the states they also have the boss engine doing 8 second passes with no forced induction I couldnt believe it when I was shown the video
