Standard SS's aren't something to be afraid of. Watchout for the blown ones though.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevo Member 286 Member For: 17y 1m 12d Gender: Male Location: Wanneroo, Perth WA Posted 04/03/09 11:38 AM Share Posted 04/03/09 11:38 AM (edited) The Expensive Daewoo doesn't have a hope in hell.VE SS Utes suck ballsok. I am in this same situation at the moment too. if its a manual you will get your ass kicked untill you get to third gear, then you will soon start making ground on the VE 6L.The reason I have is my mate has just tuned and put an exhaust on a LS1 VY Maloo and has 225rwkw, I have 336rwkw,On a drag he is half a car lengh in front of me by the first hundred metres, but again this is on a private bitumen road so spin in 1st and second and a bit in third is a major factor in a manual box (I run a T56 but so does my mates LS1),I think the power delivery on the V8's are majorly underestimated. Dont get me wrong I love my turbo so much but I think purely looking at big numbers is not a good indicator on wiether its faster than an 8 with 100 less horsepower.But then again this is a Turbo site so im expecting some true die hard T fans to shrow sh*t for this but after seeing the power my mates puts out for a total of $2000, over my $5000, V8's (modern engines that is) are still just as competitive as ours!hope that helps matelet the slader begin!

01txr Member 861 Member For: 18y 15d Gender: Male Location: QLD Posted 04/03/09 01:29 PM Share Posted 04/03/09 01:29 PM VE Black maloo mucking around with a aston martin, The maloo beat the Aston.The maloo was sporting a reasonally loud exhaust, was all over him, pulled out to pass then nag demanded to back offwe both left the aston. Last time the nag comes to a private road in my car.Mild BA T56 exhaust, Valve springs, injectors and 12 psi tune. Also made a VE GTS 307kw look slow reckons he was packing 340rwkw, yeah right.have tested against a couple FG XR6's and they are no slouch, you should do him by more than a car length 400m's and more the further you run.If you dont you need to sell your ride and by a daewoo.

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 2m 5d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 04/03/09 02:59 PM Share Posted 04/03/09 02:59 PM (edited) Seen two VE SS sedans go against a stock XR6T, BFII on bitumen. One a roll on, the other a standing start. Unsure of the Expensive Daewoo boxes but the ford was the 6 speed auto and beat both, driven in manual shift. Viva la I6T!!!Edit: Oh and one was a "Chev". Shoulda spent on mods and not a badge! Edited 04/03/09 03:00 PM by Phyber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roocrew Member 3 Member For: 16y 1m 5d Posted 04/03/09 10:46 PM Share Posted 04/03/09 10:46 PM (edited) The reason I have is my mate has just tuned and put an exhaust on a LS1 VY Maloo and has 225rwkw, I have 336rwkw,We have the same mate, the Maloo is 245rwkw. Kevo is right we were all there and saw it. In a 1/4 mile the turbo would win for sure, but in the first couple of hundred meters until 4th gear the V8 has it. Honestly don't under estimate the 8 just because our turbos put out higher numbers. Edited 04/03/09 10:47 PM by roocrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
