F6 RAPID Formerly Turbo6 Donating Members 2,332 Member For: 21y 10m 8d Location: North Brisbane Posted 04/08/06 02:16 AM Share Posted 04/08/06 02:16 AM I tried to find the quickest manual ute in qld a while ago I have done 12.8 at 117mph and couldnt find anyone quicker in qld.... any takers yet←I have done a 12.3 @ 118mph with a poofy 2.4sec 60ft and gay gear changes. That was when it had "only" 355rwkw's. Nowadays, I just don't feel like breaking anything. I know how quick it is, I don't need to prove anything over 400meters. Track days are another story though. Maybe when upgraded cv's are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 19y 11m 1d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 04/08/06 03:34 AM Share Posted 04/08/06 03:34 AM Manual sedan break things.. CV's are expensive at $3k or whatever they are for you beaut unbreakable ones, and they haven't been tested, or installed on anyones car yet.Utes have to put up with the leaf springs turning, twisting etc, but the rear is stronger. They suck to get off the line as the weight isn't nicely balanced. Mine without the h/cover and tailgate was a pig to try and drive on the street ( impossible ) and on the track was even harder to launch.. Easy, Quick times = Auto sedan, 4spd or 6spd auto.. and ute drivers are better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some big HP manuals that have come out of Nizpro and other workshops, but not many have ventured to the track just yet... ? Not that it's the be-all and end-all of performance modification.. But we all love to see them get down the 1/4.. Would be good to see some more big powered Manual sedans give it a shake. It will be interesting to see who is the first Manual SEDAN into the 11 sec bracket, as the only two to have made it are UTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The odd thing is, all the 'quick' XR6T's are all auto Sedans.. ???? Is there even a genuinly street driven 10 second XR6T ute?? go the utes.. My best, and only 11 sec pass was to date 11.87 @ 115mph on the last meet of the season!! No Hardcover, No tailgate. No S/S license saw me exit from the track.. Season opens again in September.. ←Dot worry I found it.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
