Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 18y 10m 18d Posted 07/05/07 12:29 AM Share Posted 07/05/07 12:29 AM I have beaten plenty of Ts when I had my stock T ute, I also ran an XR8 BF 6 speed auto, and there was SFA between us. Don't knock then unless you been in one or driven one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to wheels and the service manual the difference in weight is exactly 50kgs or from a turbo sedan to an 8 ute; around 100kgs, but no where near 150.also, for a 4-speed auto to have a maximum speed of 160km/h it would have to have a diff ratio of 6.45:1 (ULTRA low) which would also make 6000rpm in first around 43km/h - get real mate.can't you see that you're totally on your own on this one? Take the hint, walk away and leave us be to have a civilized conversation.Dave. Edited 07/05/07 02:13 AM by fordboy1981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only have to look as far back as pre BA to see even the best HSVs and Tickfords were struggling to crack into the 14s bracket.Generally, as an average, the lighter, more responsive T will normally account for an 8, but only by a few 10ths.But, as stated, we know how the power figures for the stock cars vary widly. Fordboy's 8 may just well be at the higher end of the scale, while the T he ran may have been at the lower end (and may have even been a little sick). It's quite possible, just not the norm.Somwhere along the line, the Boss motor went from being a great thing (first reviews) to crap. Funnily enough about the same time GM was copping flack about high Gen III failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
