Chargin Member 37 Member For: 18y 10m 19d Posted 05/04/07 12:45 AM Share Posted 05/04/07 12:45 AM (edited) I Gtech'd my new XR6T yesterday and got 5.47 5.55 and 5.6 0-60MPH times. (gtech is an accelerometer for those that dont know, not deadly accurate but should be within .15 or so) Now this car is ex NSW police and has 70000 ks, has FPV suspension and brakes. Im wondering if theres some sort of stealth factory "enhancements" done for the cops? Or perhaps the last owner did something. Im the 3rd owner. It has a BMC airfilter but otherwise appears stock. How could I tell if theres been a basic edit/tune been done? Id really rather it was stock for those last 700000.....

His car however was dyno'd at alot more than most stock T's.

To get accurate 0-100, it needs to be done in different situations and an average taken.

Software is factory.The same G-Tech unit registed slightly higher times for a BA F6 (M).On another track, I hear from friends in the force that some of the T drivers modify theircars. Your car however sounds pretty normal.Fuel type, wheel size, option load and fuel load are all variable to consider when comparing times for apparently identical cars. A car with 19" rims, sunroof, towbar and a full tank of 95 RON willperform quite differently from a stripper with a half tank of 98 RON.

Ive heard that idea thrown around several times before but I really cant logically believe it myself. Or did you mean something else? I doubt the ECU can adapt itself that much to vigorus driving to make a difference?

Regards,aaOh yeah forgot about the 19's...OD is still the same though so I guess theres a little more weight there but that cant make any difference..

Ive heard that idea thrown around several times before but I really cant logically believe it myself. Or did you mean something else? I doubt the ECU can adapt itself that much to vigorus driving to make a difference?I can't explain why you get extra power by flogging a car during it's 'run in' period but it does happen. A good example was the recent RDP dyno day. All the cars that were demo's, made very good power at the rear wheels. I'm pretty sure there were 2 tyhpoons and 1 xr6 turbo that were flogged from day 1 and all made more power than those that weren't. In fact there was a GT there that has been babied most of it's life and it only pulled 289RWHP whereas a GT that has been driven hard from day 1 made 330+RWHP. Perhaps someone more technically minded can explain why this is so.
