Throw an FG ute into some corners against a SSV and see which one comes out facing the right way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 05/03/09 02:56 AM Share Posted 05/03/09 02:56 AM 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 matelet the slader begin!If you can't pull away from a tuned VY 5.7L until end of 3rd gear you need to take a good look at either your car or yourself. You either can't drive, have dodgey tyres, or don't have the indicated power...It's not peak power figures that make these cars quick anyway, it's torque. I bet the VY has about a third of the torque your car has! Put some decent tyres on & control the wheelspin... Mine fries tyres right through 3rd but I haven't been beat on a private road yet.
