I thought GT's were quick. my lil turbo 6 beat a GT-P off the mark. and the extra power off the 8 didn't even gain on me. Maybe he couldn't drive but You'd think V8's would beat a 6.

If only the world was so simple
 I suspect you're only after someone to bight with a post like that but try considering the myriad of other variable (including the other driver and his/her intent) that come into which car might be quick off the mark. How many cylinders the engine has is rather irrelevant

Because these days V8s are driven by 'old' blokes who have nothing to prove ...... "Been there, done that before" , while P platers still had training wheels on their tricycles.
What is point of 0-100kmh times when the 0- whatever is in stop/start traffic to the next red light 100metres away. It's the 80-130kmh overtaking times on the highway that is more relevant. |

 I love how many people pull up next to me in a little buzz box and then take off like I am racing, funny thing is they probably go home telling their mates how they just beat a V8. I had a mate years ago with a buzz box and he always used to tell me how fast his car was, I really thought he was joking till the discussion got more heated when I had a laugh about it. Long story short we ended up at a track day having a race, needless to say he was not happy with the outcome, left him like he was parked on the side of the road

If your car is a r33 gtr and its most likely not stock which most are not stock im not surprised....
Why are you on a ford forum taking the **** out of a gt if you don't own a ford,do you even own a ford? I chopped a few gtrs at the drags in my old stock g6et,wonder why they were so slow? |

I beat everyone off the lights. Then I realise, that they weren't even racing me. True story.
I still beat them though. |

I blew away a drug crazed guy on a bike at the lights who was complaining about my diesel soot blowing, Falcon 6 exhaust stack wasn't high enough while I was casually talking on my cellphone, a CB and perving on some grid girls standing at the lights.
Now watch out Kia Stinger owners.

20K probably get you the wheels and body kit.
You need a VERY fat wallet to replicate this car

I’d rather spend 10k on mine. Cause with that money. 10 secs is achievable. Dose + flutter is winning. |

Why are V8's so slow?
