Of course a modified T eats them. Not one has ever wanted to have a go on the street. The T has a reputation out there!

I went behind the car as I normally do to check if its a turbo or not but it only had a xr6 badge. I thought it was strang as the car sounded deep on idle. Then the driver said "its a turbo". Then he floored it away. Man I love those things! Anyway this got my friend talking whos a Expensive Daewoo fan (pfft ) and he said that the VY SS canes the XR6T 0-100...I didn't think this is right but maybe im wrong...could somone please tell me if this is correct?Thanks<{POST_SNAPBACK}>My wife and I have the pleasure to own both of vehickes, a sedan xr6t auto and a VY SS ute manual. There is nothing between these 2 cars in a straight line, had a few traffic lights drags with the wife and when she doesnt cheat by gettign a rolling start its a dead rubber. The xr6 gets the jump and puts about a car length on the ute and then it gets pegged back when the v8 winds up. Nothing in it.Dazza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 04/11/04 10:24 PM Share Posted 04/11/04 10:24 PM Auto or manual for each car?The thing is, in gear acceleration is meant to be stronger in the T, so like, it shouldn't be catching you (well it certainly is for the mk2)....Like I said, wait another week for motor to come out.... They will thrash the T for some times, and also the F6.Next motor is going to be a fantastic read I think..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands down bull depends auto manual and when wheels and motor test the cars they do a few runs and do an average after owning both a vy ss and xr6 turbo I would have to say the t take off quicker but the vy ss would win in the end hands down<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
