I had a run yesterday with a black coupe4 and it was not fast at all.From the lights he had the jump on me as it was wet, but I pulled a car length each gear.I changed at 5,000rpm, but I am running 250rwkw.I thought is was a HSV the coupe4, so I was expecting some more of a run.The guy gave up after he was royaly beaten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never.Seen a lot of 11 second LS1's down the plex, but they're running slicks, front runners, 90/10 shocks, low diff gears and all that other s_hit. Great if the only driving you do is down the strip, but on the street my money is on me beating them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Heya. This was a black coupe 4. The bloke driving it had a Expensive Daewoo salesman shirt on. I won't discredit the dealer but it was near the dandenongs in Melbourne. So I assume it was totally stock and like a trade in car or something because they're a HSV dealer. There was no turbo flutter or anything.My XR6t is a 6spd manual stock as a rock! The windows aren't even tinted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one was pretty effortless. But I didn't launch properly because I was so surprised the guy actually dragged at all. He looked very non chalant!

We did 3 run's against another mates stock auto T. Result. 2 wins for the SS one for the T. pretty much whoever got the better launch was able to hold the other one out to over 200 till we ran out of private road. My mate had only just got the T and was still learning the best way to launch but we had to call and end to it after 3 runs as the T was starting to fuel surge. Haven't had a chance to run either of them in my T yet which should be interesting. My point. Nerver underestimate a gen 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would I look like a twit? I'm well aware of the abilty of a blown 6 seeing as I own one and all. I thought a VT SS would have been an easy scalp for a BA XR6 Turbo seeing as it has 20 kw's less power and is 5 years older. The fact that it was not an easy scalp was the point I was trying to get across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deaks Member 93 Member For: 19y 5m 5d Location: Eastern Burbs of Melbourne Posted 08/01/06 10:33 AM Share Posted 08/01/06 10:33 AM I live on the wrong side of Melbourne, as no one seems to want to run my XR6t, save for bikes. Like last night, a 750 Ninja(I think), although he did have a passenger so off the line we were close, but after that he pulled away. Had 2 go's, he was loving it. Had a chat with him at the next lights and he was amazed it was a six.The dude in the riced up Lancer really wasnt worth the petrol, but I thought why not. Had many an opportunity against HSV's and SS's, but they dont wanna play.Oddly enough, the only HSV to run me was on the freeway to the Island, a Yellow GTO coupe, with a chick driving, all rolling starts from 80kph, she gave up after the third go, I was suprised how much pulled on her between 80kph and 140. So was she I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
