Shouldn't be a problem to win this race just don't get to excited of the mark and get plenty of traction. Standard SS's aren't something to be afraid of. Watchout for the blown ones though.

The Expensive Daewoo doesn't have a hope in hell.
:outahere:

VE SS Utes suck balls

ok. 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 mate

let the slader begin!

Had a poke with one the other night and it was all over by 70 (and really all over).............and his exhuast would have cost more than my total mods bill.

Traction wasnt the issue, as even with heaps of spin still no contest.

Mines a BF that would be about the same as a tuned FG

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 off

we 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.

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!

So I got a cheap jump off the start and the bastard still got me....

No sound and no start so its a tad hard to tell but it's "supposed" to be from a standing start, G6 vs SS Ute.

SSV gets well and truly spanked.

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.
