Darcy Member 19 Member For: 15y 10m Gender: Male Location: Chinchilla Posted 30/07/09 11:51 PM Share Posted 30/07/09 11:51 PM Hey guys,I have not long owned a n/a fg 2009 xr6 ute and am absolutely loving it. The ute is still pretty standard with the only exception being a xforce 2 1/2" cat back mild system which has really given it a lot better flow and is a lot more responsive. anyway this guy challenged me to a drag the other night against his VU II Late model camira ute s pack with the only mods being a full redback custom exhaust. I absolutely smoked him by the way; after 200meters the race was already won. Now this idiot being a poor unfortunate Expensive Daewoo fan has gone and priced a bigger cam,performance chip and a ss growler just to try and beat me. Just wondering what you guys think the result will be after he gets these mods done!!????... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a lot of catching up to do in terms of power and I doubt he will come close to matching the power of a FG 4.0BTW your ute looks very nice, don't go bending it around a tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun smoking him in round 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a VS back in the day which is basically the same engine, but maybe a lil less power, and I did alot more mods than him and I only got to around 130rwkw's out of it untuned. Tuned HP-F said it would have around 140-150 rwkw.. So I reckon you will still have him, maybe get some extractors/headders to finnish off your exhaust and a CAI and kick his ass even more...

seduced Need more power. Now taking donations. Member 753 Member For: 16y Gender: Male Posted 03/09/09 10:43 PM Share Posted 03/09/09 10:43 PM ITs no surprise man, the ecotech is a horrible engine. Dont get too excited, its like running the 100 metres against an asthmatic. I had an FG ute xr6 attempt to out run me last night... I even let him get out in front a little bit... hehe.
