Proof enough, both have factory "tricked" suspension, big brakes, and the xr8 mops the ss in a straight line coz powaaaaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree that a VF for the equivalent FG-X would handle better due to the engineering $$$ spent and the subsequent materials and technology used. My point is a properly setup aftermarket coilover setup will be superior to any stock VF suspension, no matter how good it may be out of the factory.

barnz Member 3,047 Member For: 11y 9d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 21/04/16 04:08 AM Share Posted 21/04/16 04:08 AM lol and the redline has tracked focused suspension? Fact: the redline gains its advantage with corner speed and even exit speed with less power. It could be argued that the exit speed problem due to traction issues comes down to the driver, fact is it has more power than it can make use of in certain scenarios. Whilst your point is correct, its ridiculous. Why compare a modified car to a stock one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
