At dinner last night i was sitting with someone who owns a VF SS 6.0L V8.
First he claims that tuned, over the radiator intake and catback exhaust he made 325rwkw on the dyno.. its a 6 spd manual. The power seems high for the minimal mods.. Then he asked me about my xr6t.. so i told him.. some basic mods and 331rwkw. He starts praising the xr6t and says those xr6 turbos go very well and would probably be slightly ahead of my SS to 100km/h but after that the SS would power away from it. I started to tell him that the xr6 turbo dont stop at 100km/h.. he sort of had a bit of a chuckle and said they are good cars no doubt but the big v8 will come over the top of it every day of the week, at speeds past 100km/h Im thinking do these holden drivers realise what they are getting into? Firstly i was a bit sceptical about his power claims with minimal mods and then he says he would get be just behind a modded xr6t to 100km/h and power away after that? He is a good guy, so i refrained from getting into an argument. But should i invite him to take him for a spin of the xr6 turbo to completely devastate him? I remember when the FG came out i test drove fg xr8 and xr6t back to back.. xr8 first and was happy with it in a manuel.. then xr6t and i was gobsmacked... completely tore the fg xr8 in half.. i think that will be his impression if he drives my modded turbo after his vf SS Last edited by HULK_I6T; 20-07-2015 at 09:20 AM. |
