BWST_XR6T Member 25 Member For: 17y 1m 6d Gender: Male Location: Maddington Perth WA Posted 27/06/10 01:14 PM Share Posted 27/06/10 01:14 PM There is a term amongst the japanese drag scene called RH9. Its given to a car that can run 9 second quarter miles on street legal tyres and pump fuel. Mainly skyline gtr's with 4wd. quite a few in japan and the U.S.A and a few in Aus I think (don't know if we cheat and use Japanese octane levels 100+). Do we have any falcons able to do this now or how close are we? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/69051-rh9/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 100% sure if it will run a 9 on street tyres but. That same year at autosalon my mates Skyline made 996awhp and it will easy run a 10 on street tyres before he gets booted for no cage. I dare say we will never get there with the falcons but. Its the AWD that does it.

Too much power and not enough road speed means that the cars are blowing away the street tyres before they can get moving. Build a falcon that weighs something like 1200kg and you'll see these times on street tyres...

I still have some of the old HPI DVDs and seeing what those guys were doing over 10 years ago is mind blowing. It would be nuts to see a Ford Falcon XR6 9 sec street car I just dont think we will. If someon ewas that keen on owning something that fast for the street they would go out and buy a VL lol, which most do Edited 27/06/10 11:24 PM by Wingnut Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/69051-rh9/#findComment-1019660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
