would he get me after 100km/h?

If preferably the xr6t owners could contribute with a few good **** whooping stories (at the drag strip of course)

Something says something like this and i feel its my duty (it's also your duty) to tell them the truth.

Until the experiment is run-n-won any discussion is based on opinion. I've not seen a review or race between the two cars in question, so any hypothesis as to who would own who is just opinion not fact. Fact would be racing one another at the strip of course and doing the experiment the ford might be smelling egg!
In my opinion my bicycle would be faster then both fact!

325rwkw sounds a bit conservative. I reckon it would be making closer to 350 with those wicked mods










Mine must be a dud. I only got 250rwkw with the same mods hey I even got headers on mine

400 with a chev badge.

Admittedly, a few years back (2002), I thought that my VYSS (man) would spank a baI xr6 turbo (man) up to and over 100km/hr... How wrong I was.. I have only owned cars with the I6T motor since ;-)

Why didn't you both go to the urinal and compare?

Xr6 turbo owners are usually pretty comfortable with their package when in company of a LSx, especially confident around boss 5.4s

The truth is a VF 6.0L SS Commodore with those mods Hulk has mentioned doesn’t even come close to making 325kw at the rear wheels.

If he had said that to me I would have asked him where was the dyno sheet to back up the claim so I’d know which tuner was telling porkies.

Take your little story and post it on the LS1 forum and see what they have to say.

Even their staunchest fan boys won’t admit to that power output.

Which is quickest, a mildly modded SS or XR6T might be a bit more debateable.

The SS might even be lucky enough to get the jump on the XR6T but I’d be putting my hard earned on the Turbo to pull away.

Wait, Wally appears twice in this one???

Also, love how you drove the FG XR8 first with some mexican guy.

I don't think I have a duty to correct people but I do take a mental note to in future look for some else to speak too.

If this fellow is so naïve he believes a tuned and very mildly modded SS Commodore is producing 325rwkw then he's not into cars and there is next to no chance he’s ever or will ever frequent a drag strip.

Car guys know the truth about their cars and its competitors and that even includes the one eyed fan boys even if they won’t admit it.

If he was into cars he would have made up an inflated figure that was more believable.

Makes me wonder why someone who’s not a car person has had his car tuned unless it’s second hand and he bought it that way.

Which makes me wonder where he got the 325 figure from.

Which makes me wonder about the whole story.

What a Barry Crocker of a story, it makes me wonder.

He said 325kw at wheels.. I thought he may have meant horsepower but then it would be on the low side

He bought the car new and paid for the mods himself. I've used the shop he claimed did the work and they have a conservative dyno.

I made 282rwkw years ago with a cammed 5.7 ls1 so his power claims seem ambitious even if it is a 6.0L with those basic mods.

Whatever the claims, a 6.0L will need 350-400rwkw to keep near my xr6t with 331rwkw. Whatever his claims I will still get away after 100km/h

[mr_xlr8]

Mate he has us catered. Probably sits back laughing at the amount blokes he has just stired up! Dont go anywhere Hulk!! Love the drama

Then you already know the answer to your own question(s)...
Once again - you are seeking some sort of predicated argument to make you feel justified about your XR6T...
The presumptions and on line gesticulations in your threads make us all believe you constantly need affirmations to settle your over active doubts.
There will always be a better / faster / more economical / better looking / better offroad / better value / better investment / better colour / better tyred / better priced / better specced car and widget out there....always. So relax about all the comparos and just drive and enjoy your car more and tell us stories about the latest drive you enjoyed in it without the need for comparing it to something......
And post up some pics for once - exterior / interior / engine bay..
I'm starting to think its just a 1:18 scale model you have tucked away under your bed.

[swanee]

yawn...

[superyob]

Hulk, you should not discount the trouser straining apocalyptic power of a standard 302W. I can pass parked cars with ease and just tear away from wheelie bins at the 2 kph mark. If you don't believe me, bring out your wheelie bin! Recycle or domestic or I can shame both at once...

[mike_nofx]

I'm fair certain my LPG 4.0L with no mods would pull away from the XR6T above 100km/h.

[auxr]

The sands of time go seeping along, but Hulk continues his evil taunts from afar, ensnaring the unwitting into his spidery web of illusion of his own making.

Do not feed.

325RWHP sounds about right. Mine made 335RWHP

[blackf6]

Can you just live with your xr6t. Please.

[HULK_I6T]

Why people reply as they do really surprises me

It's a true scenario and I thought I'd share it on here.

Is it better that I just poked the Holden driver in the eye and said that's to wake you up as you were dreaming.

I've assessed the replies in this thread, the 5.4 owners seem really cut they were excluded from the comparo. It's always LSx vs I6t. the old boss 5.4 never seems to get a run against LSx/I6T due to its poor low rpm response (comparatively speaking)

[Iggle Piggle]

There's Wally again!!!!!

Superyob Tuesday cannot come fast enough.

[STINKY NINJA]

Ask a stupid question/s and get stupid answers hulk...
Grow some tiny mincy little balls and actually take one of your cars to the drags like real men/women do instead of asking poxy pointless questions about crap and speculation!

[STINKY NINJA]

We can all tell you are dead scared of losing which is why you are afraid to venture to the drags,losing is a big part of life mate,you should know that.
Ive been to the drags a heap of times over the years and have lost most of my races,big deal at least i had the guts to have a crack.

[auxr]

Hulk, for once I agree - yes, go and poke the hypothetical Holden driver in the eye.
