Seeing how the 6cyl is a more balanced car. I own a BF Rspec and im thinking its a waste of money to ever upgrade to a new Falcon?Let me know what you guys think..Regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example I know putting an alloy ls1 in a 180sx doesn't really make much difference as the SR is an iron block. I was looking at how to go about putting a barra into a r32gtr (very hard, rwd has been done piece of piss) and the 4.0l ford is actually lighter than an rb26. A v8 is also shorter(length) so places its weight more towards the centre of the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the outcome in the comparison doesn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No body here is going to do that. Let alone be consistent enough for it to actually show. Both cars have their pros and cons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 0-100 time seemed a little off the pace for both cars though? I think the difference accurately reflected the standing start pace, just seemed slowish for both cars Edited 31/12/14 03:14 AM by barnz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletime Donating Members 937 Member For: 14y 1m 8d Gender: Male Posted 31/12/14 08:30 AM Share Posted 31/12/14 08:30 AM Tyres are a huge factor here, give the xr8 anything better than dunflops and it would lap a lot quicker!But as seaton says that is flying around wakefield in a stock car. I seem to remember Luffy did a 1:10 in the new HSV GTS, couldn't find where I saw that though, he also did a 1:09 in an F6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
