My old N/A BA XR6 could beat a Supercharged VY S's. And it was stock. Drove a VY Superchaged S once and all the "supercharger" did IMHO was make the 3.8 even more harsh and thrashy up top. Not very impressive for somthing that was "supercharged" expecially back to back with the 182 Barra.

But like evryone said nice car for a P plater, I only had a AU XR6 on my P's

LAZY6 don`t take anything these ratbags say to heart,they are big stirrers but really are just having fun.

Clean car you have there you sound like a young bloke ,my first car was a $600 1973 cortina that when you drove it down the street you could here the tappets 400 metres away, that was 20 years ago sh*t I`m old.

Cant you ls1 edit and up the boost on your supercharger I heard somewhere the things could be made to go faster, have also heard of the smaller pully.

The Ls1 site should have the answers.

Anyway welcome, never know one day you might be driving a ford its not all bad.

we were driving along he M1 just north of Bris on sunday arvo, we had been dirtbiking all day, I had 2 bikes in the back and the tailgate down. It was all so cruisy at 100ks/hr. I noticed a Stupidcharged S pack pull up beside us,I looked over casual like (used to this as I have a gas gas and it pulls a few "what is it" looks") and this stunna was in it passenger seat, so after the "how you dowin" look, I looked at the driver, he was some Fabio wanna be (I still recon I could take him though), he look at the ute and gunned it. I looked at my passenger and said, he musta missed the turbo badge. He then slowed down for another go, this time I gave it a stab and flew past. I thought that would be it so it was on the ancors and back to 100. Low and behold hes back, same tactics, same result. I slowed down again, hit cruise and relaxed. Hes back again, the honey in the front was looking down (she must of thought here we go again)Yep he tried again, this time I pull along side and do the looser sign and brake, The freeway had a few cars coming up so I was out.He proceeded to plant it and off into the distance down the gateway leaving two very amused people in a T.It was like stealing lollies from a kid.

Hey Turtle what sort of Gas Gas do you have? I just sold my WR426 and was looking at the Gas Gas EC450 FSE as a potential replacment.

My bro has a Vs S/C running 12psi. Its DAMN quick, I mean the feakin thing gets me on take off, but once the boost kiks in, C U LATER BRO!!

I PERSONALLY dont believe that a stock XR6 N/A COULD BEAT A VY S/C!!!

Are u sure it wasnt just a Vy S. Cause there are some with just the S badge on them which arent not supercharged!!

Man even the STOCK Barra 182 can beat the XR6 N/A, and your saying that your old XR beat a VY which is SUPERCHARGED!!! :spoton:

IF your XR was done up then id tottaly agree wid u beating the S/C. But if your saying your stocky beat the S/C, your KIDDING ME!!!

that's just my opinion, even if u did beat that VY sc, it must have been f*#$*d!!

Yep it was supercharged and yep I beat it. I'm talking about a stock FACTORY supercharged VY S pack not an aftermarket kit or anything. Someone corret me if I'm wrong but I'm fairly sure they only make somthing in the vicinty of 170kw. Not excatly a powerhouse.

Have you actually seen a XT beat a N/A XR6? I don't see how a XR6 would be slower. It has the same engine but a higher diff ratio which whould help it leave the line better.

my brothers girlfriends dad (sounds like jerry springer!!) has a VT or VX supercharged car... stock standard, has 171kw I think. either way, I wasn't impressed with it... neither was my bro when he drove it... nice car for a P plater, and a nice sunday cruise car... but by no means was it fast. In fact, even the XR6T doesn't feel "fast" until you up the boost! Its just smooth... same as the supercharged car, it felt smooth.

I could see an NA XR6 beating it...
