Being involved in drag racing for alot of years I can see why ppl are doubting the power figure of your car. Its nothing to be angry about but more a compliment that you and hpf have done such a good job that the car is running so fast. Eddies car when he ran the 179 mph was making close to 800 rwkw's. Its pretty hard to arque anything but without knowing how much adams car actually weighs but. Who cares, its bloody fast and congrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tquarrell Member 181 Member For: 20y 3m 10d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 06/09/05 11:04 AM Share Posted 06/09/05 11:04 AM XR6T? I just want one!As for the controversy surrounding legitamcy, it is pretty silly. Everyone knows that power is a product of torque and RPM. If a car is producing more torque at a given rpm, it also has more power at that point. Whilst other engines are traditionally peaky, the XR6T isn't. I.e. it's engine probably has more power down lown and the midrange, whilst it's top end is a little blunter which why it's peak power probably isn't comparable with most hipo motors.Also, the cars weight is somewhat overstated by most. The reality is it is less than 40Kg's heaver than an AU xr8 or LS1 commodore.Just some constructive feedback/idea's, have you considered running 3.73 or lower diff gears? The BA XL utes don't have aircon std, considered loosing the air con for the XL setup? It's amazing how easily these things can really fly. Looking forward to seeing how the 6 speed auto's go too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
