JimmyXR6T04 Member 1,299 Member For: 19y 5m 3d Location: Canberra Posted 29/10/06 04:33 AM Share Posted 29/10/06 04:33 AM (edited) Since the missus's brother has a VU SS I've been cheating on ya'll and visiting the LS1 forums Trying to get ideas to make his car a little quicker so our contests are a little more fun Anyways, the LS1 boys are having a private track day at WSID in january some time (damn heat), and with all this VE SS vs F6 hype etc etc one of the lads there has offered to run a stock F6 down the 1/4 mile. He did mention a wager of some kind, but it doesn't necessarily have to be for any money, more for the fun of it Also, would be good to get some vids of the Phoon Vs SS. I'm not 100% sure that they've finalised dates yet, but if anyone is keen to take part let me know, or head over to LS1.com and take it from there.I'm guessing that stock means no after market air filter or anything.. but that can be sorted out later. Also, obviously it would be a big advantage if the phoon in question was the 6sp auto... Anyone interested?? Would be great bragging rights So far I've suggested that the winner be decided after 3 runs against eachother, with the average of the 3 runs deciding the winner (obviously with enough time for the car to cool down) I think that would be the fairest way to do it.... but who knows how it will pan out!

At the end of the day, the SS has 270kw, and so too does the F6, so its fair enough in my books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be closer then a lot of people think I reckon, both seem like great cars. Mods - I don't want this thread turning into a Expensive Daewoo bashing thread, or a my d*cks bigger then your d*ck thread... so I think I can speak for the mods here, that if it starts to get like that, I'm sure they'll clean it up... I think its a good chance for the F6 guys out there to go silence a few critics, and also have a bit of fun.. who knows, the ending might not be what we all think! We might even be the ones that end up silenced. Should be good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
