NA-06-XR Member 112 Member For: 18y 15d Posted 15/03/07 06:08 AM Share Posted 15/03/07 06:08 AM I was going through my original purchase brochure last night and an XT sedan with auto is 1697kg.... nothing on utes... just the wagon which is an extra 200kgI'm just hoping there's no unfair advantage for the utes.... doesn't matter.. hopefully in another week and a half.. I'll have cracked 200 !! hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, its all to do with practice, ive been out the the track 4 times now, and even now im no pro, as the old saying goes, "practice makes perfect"Just experiment on a quiet rd with tyre pressure and rpm.NA-06-XR - On the weigh bridge at the track, my ute tipped the scales at 1606.5kg, that was with just under 1/4 tank of fuel.

troppo Member 9 Member For: 17y 9m 21d Posted 15/03/07 09:46 AM Share Posted 15/03/07 09:46 AM AFAIK, the leaf sprung rear end makes the stock utes slightly heavier than stock sedans. Not much in it though and Al has removed some weight from stock (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that you will be able to slip it much. I'd say its gonna have to be a get-the-revs-up-and-dump-it affair..best of luck!edit: doh! see you have a hd clutch.. might be able to give 13's a crack with a 1.8 60' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eMPee Member 247 Member For: 20y 9m 17d Location: Sydney Posted 16/03/07 06:35 AM Share Posted 16/03/07 06:35 AM mate I have a stock clutch, only 40k kms old. I have given it a few practice runs at quiet traffic lights but a few tips wouldnt go astray. I might have to come out and watch u guys when I have a free wednesday night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
