I wasn't exactly launching it hard or flat shifting though. It made me wonder, if it was an all out drag how well the T would go.Have you guys had any decent street kills against HSVs? STock or modified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I dont even care if they beat me, but they didnt even want to give it a brief squirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think from a standing start it would be a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 06/01/06 04:31 AM Share Posted 06/01/06 04:31 AM It's possible that it was Rob Vikery's (owner of HPF) Coupe4. If this is correct it has a turbo and is running 330rwkw's and will beat most cars. I think his car is red and would be seen around Melbourne's east and southeast suburbs.Geea.

STock or modified?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Only seen a few Coupe4's,But as was previously mentioned, they aren't that fast. Provided it wasn't modified you should have edged the HSV out.I used to live on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, good friend of mine who is a Physiotherapist down their had a black 2001 HSV GTO, with the plated CLUBBN (from a Clubsport that was written off).Black ute, Black HSV coupe, that's a kodak moment.On one of my trips to catch up everyone, I lined my ute up against his GTO. I wasn't expecting to leave him for dead, but ended up a half a car length by the time we hit nearly 120kph. I was He's now ditched the GTO, tried an SS, wasnt happy with it and now has a XR8...and I'm heading down again soon to show him that after all this time he should have just went with an XR6T.Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waiting to turn onto the Monash yesterday and there was a brank spanking new CV8 in front of me at the lights. When he gets the green he absolutely floors it and I follow him closely onto the on-ramp and as we reached close to 100 klicks he backs off quite considerably and looking into his rear-view mirror... he probably thought I was a copper as I was wearing a blue shirt, but when I pulled up beside him on the freeway, he then realised I wasn't and tried to plant it - the next look he gave me was even funnier when I overtook him too easily... I suppose it doesn't help that he was a fat bas*ard which probably added another 250 kegs to the kerb weight of the car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
