jellis New Member 24 Member For: 7y 11m 6d Posted 21/04/17 06:15 AM Share Posted 21/04/17 06:15 AM Hi all, I took my, recently purchased, ex pig rig FG Turbo to the Race4Real meet at Eastern Creek (WSID). I managed to get a little bit of in car footage (I missed the first run... because I'm forgetful). The car is completely stock. Hopefully this helps some of those "I have a stock xr6 turbo what do youse guys reckon itll run down the quarter?" questions that ALWAYS pop up. Cheers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellis New Member 24 Member For: 7y 11m 6d Posted 21/04/17 07:19 AM Author Share Posted 21/04/17 07:19 AM Amazingly simple car to drive. Massive fan. I've been a Subaru guy for many years - this was just a "I need some space for the kids, something I can tow with... and something with a bit of power". I'm impressed that people are getting into high 10's with relatively minor modifications. Just outstanding. Yes, happy to have the "cop chip" comments. I've booked in for some dyno pulls this time next week. Essentially just baselining everything about the car so I can make informed and measured decisions regarding enhancements in the future.

Make sure you take into consideration the supporting mods with the enhancements - they don't add power, but will help make sure the car keeps up with the power you do make. I'd always been "need some space for the kids" with 7 seater 4wd's (other option was a minivan) - spent a fair bit of time looking once the chains were loosened - almost bought a WRX, but ended up going with the Falcon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INFLYT Donating Members 784 Member For: 18y 6m Gender: Male Location: N.S.W, Sydney Posted 10/05/17 05:13 AM Share Posted 10/05/17 05:13 AM Well done, and the video footage is appreciated. The FG XR6/G6E Turbo range in standard form seems to be showing elapsed times at the drag strip anywhere from 12.509 (the quickest that I am aware of personally), up to the 13.50 range. Your car in the 12.80 range is at the pointy end of the standard car spectrum, however it seems that the "slower" cars tend to pick up the slack when tuning takes place.
