My mates VS V6 ute is a bucket of bolts, you floor the gas and the engine screams but you don't really seem to be going any harder. I realised this before I got my T as well, when I had an EF.Bet hes like my inlawsTo gutless to have a goFlog the cr@p out of him If it happens please post result Sure will!

Can I beat him? He's of the opinion he will win because he has traction control, as I understand it a little wheel spin makes a faster time rather than no wheel spin at all. Personally I don't think getting traction in my auto ute will be any problems. Any of you guys had a run with any similar cars? I'm looking forward to putting him in his place, if I can!TC... TC impedes the cars performance. I remember reading somewhere about some of the T times with and without TC, and I think there was consistantly upto 0.5 sec difference on the quarter mile (TC was slower obviously). Buggered if I remember where I saw that. (one of the topics in here somewhere).Seems that some of these crummydore/magnadore/whatever, seem to keep on bragging about straight line rubbish. But seriously, how well do they go in the twisty bits? I remember after the bundanoon cruise, went through some twisty bit s on the way back to Canberra, about 4hrs non stop twisty bit etc driving, and at the end of it I didn't feel fatigued at all. I wonder how I'd be in a crummydore, I'd probably have a broken ankle by the halfway mark because of the "state of the art" TC..IMHO the only real, trully good TC is in a BMW m3 (haven't driven one, but friends who went to a BMW driver training course recon they are the best, I agree).. oh and they have launch control This bit a little OT, but if I had the money, an BMW M3 would be my ride. Oh yeah, last week, dropped into some relatives house for a visit on my way through Sydney. They then started the "why'd you get a FORD". "Expensive Daewoo are the best" etc (although their family car is a VN crummydore that looks and goes like a slug).. After this rubbish, they asked "Can you take us for a spin?". I just said "Nah, my car doesn't like you".. that was that. Oh and they said "the supercharged Late model camira S is way better than your car" I just knodded in agreement, then burst out laughing.. When I left, just turned off the TC, gave it a little and all I saw in the rear vision was a lot of dropped jaws. I must add, they out of all the relo's I have (croatians seem to have plenty), they were the only ignorant ones. Most of the others (wrx, skyline etc drivers) seemed to like the T and never bagged it at all. Oh well.. enough useless rambling by me.
