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 Yeah remember that test, Winterbottom was driving the F6 he got into 1:08'sI'm sure it was at Calder Park which suited the Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody who has driven Wakefield and got any sort of times knows how insanely fast that is for these cars stock. Maybe we need to spend more time on track and less money modifying.

Stop spending money on mods is true lol, more money on driver training then. Those times are nuts! Would love to see in car footage of those laps.

Bulletime Donating Members 937 Member For: 14y 14d Gender: Male Posted 01/01/15 12:01 AM Share Posted 01/01/15 12:01 AM (edited) Yeah but we all know how much the dun flops let down the XR and FPV range, the fact you can go from out of control and crazy wheel spin to very controlled and minimal wheels spin just from some decent rubber says a lot.Edit: plus I don't know what rubber bolt runs with or how grip limited he is Edited 01/01/15 12:02 AM by Bulletime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much reflects what jet just said.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisJager123 Member 43 Member For: 15y 11m 22d Posted 01/01/15 11:01 AM Author Share Posted 01/01/15 11:01 AM Haha guys a FG GT Rspec has a kerb weight of 1844kg vs 1770kg of the BF F6.. Consider the BF F6 Rspec had a tune to match the FG GT rspec im pretty sure the 6 would win around a track same driver same rubber. I love my FPV always will but dame when that new mustang comes no big aussie falcon will come close on a race track.Thanks for the response guys.
