my car was stock at the time, my mate (sv8)has put headers exhaust and custom tuned edit now so we are hopeing to test it at the drags soon, we are expecting about 13.7@ 105mph with traction,(227rwks) which is pritty good up here

I think if your mate can get traction he will run closer to a 13.2 or 13.3 @ 105mph.

from some of my pesonal experience's I think 105mph should be good for a high 12 sec pass.

Good luck with it anyway

I agree, 105 with a car set up right can run a 12. but he has not changed his gears yet, and it will only be normal tyres because he has not changed his clutch yet, it ran 102mph standed @13.9, so I did not want him to be to disapointed at the moment, at the drags with standed gears, and standed clutch it can be hard because they seem to tramp a lot. but any advise on helping it off the line would be consided if you have experience with vy's

I would not buy one but I think everyone must agree that they are good bang for your buck(sv8)

I never said holdens drove better than fords

I said holdens own them as this thread is refering to quarter mile / drags

Never said you did, read back a few posts and might read the comparison.

As for XR6T's being owned by SS crapadoors, I don't think so. they don't even want to look sideways at you when you pull up beside them, let alone want to have their arse handed to them.

Go back to street commodores or wherever you came from.

This guy has probably never even driven an ls1 or T

this sounds like the words of someone who has "foot in mouth syndrome"

I've driven an xr6t and a cv8 loved them both but off the line the xr6 did not feel as quick as the cv8.

As the saying goes "there's no replacement for displacement"

whats wrong, can't you handle hearing someone else's opinion??

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I can handle someone elses opinion, your the one who is saying Expensive Daewoo owns them at the drags, and as I have owned an SS as well as an XR6T I can say stock they are very similar as most have said here but in terms of modding potentional I belive the T has it on the gen3. Expensive Daewoo own then at the drags is a dumb comment sorry.

hey guys thanks for the feedback,

I did actually mean just straight line performance. It's just I recently purchased my first ute, first new car, and first turbo car, got one of the runout BA mkII's. I am totally happy with the descision to get a XR6 over the SS, as I feel as a ute, they are a better than the SS, and the space behind the seats is VERY useful.  I was just interested in whether I was going to make a fool of myself, going up against one of the 1000's of SS that drive around the gold coast, have seen just 2 XR6T utes since owning mine, but see at least 1 SS everytime I drive somewhere.

Would love to get the edit, just aint quite willing to throw away the warranty just yet.

Every time I ran an SS Ute or sedan when my car was stock, the SS would get the jump off the lights, real him in 2nd gear and would be half a car length in front at about 100-120kms.

That was the older SSs, the 260kw Utes are tougher to beat, but never had the change to run one! Not stock anyway, now its a joke I feeel sorry for them!

And if your worried about your warranty, just do some small basic mods, that you can change back to stock if something goes wrong!

Like Edit, Unichip, exhaust, CAI ands exhaust!

You wont care once the get the mod bug!

You must have so much fun with those plates!

I have seen rego plates on a V6 Late model camira 4DKILA, so I just had to prove him wrong and embarrass him in front of his mates!

There is always a way around that warranty thing.

Vidge,what part of the gold coast are you from?

No we can handle anyones opinion but draw the line at listening to idiots trying to compare V8's to 6T's.

The Replacement for Displacement is just a big yawn now and most V8 lovers that step outta my car just say... Well there really is no comparison the turbo rules hands down, but the V8's still sound better....

To follow the displacement idea for a minute I will show you a simple calculation as follows

One atmosphere is equal to 14.24354 psi at sea level

When a NA motor is at BDC on the induction stroke the pressure in the cylinder can be no more than one atmosphere.

If another 14 psi is added to one atmosphere it doubles the displacement of the motor artificially therefore the 4 litres become 8 litres.

At 7 psi the motors artificial displacement is 6 litres.

Hence if you want to go on about the displacement yawn, we are actually running a larger motor than the LS1.. So now go I <3 Bananas yourself.........

Through my experience the with a VYII SS its pretty even below 100kmh unless you can fire you BA off the line just right (in which case you'll have the upper hand) but its when you hit 3rd and head over 100kmh that the flat torque courve of the T shows its muscle, the SS will match the T when it hits its peak but before and after that the T will be pulling away, and that my friends is what will win you the race, even if your carrying 200kg more!
