Rootster Just a large member member Silver Donating Members 3,125 Member For: 16y 5m 24d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 18/10/08 09:57 PM Share Posted 18/10/08 09:57 PM I was wondering if anyone has run a std fg xr6 turbo down the 1/4 mile.I have seen some articles were it states 13.5 at 172km but I think its a bit suspect.In this article its up against an ss dunnydoor with runs 13.9 at 166km. What I can not work out is from 0-160km the falcon is a whole second in front and 0-180km the falcon is almost 1.5 seconds in front.Were does the commordore make up time to close the gap to 4 tenths.Cheers Nick.

That time was also not run on a drag strip... it was just done with a VBOX on a straight part of the YouYangs circuit I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
