if you can afford even an EB XR6 it will DESTROY a commode the one i sold a few years ago had nearly 400,000km and i reckon it would go close to my recently broken LEXUS quadcam V8 XF to 100km/h,
this fred is old but i still got a larf reeding threw it.LOL |

hmm the 2.77 diff would mean more chance of getting blown of the line by a VS, are you going to but a 3.27 or 3.45 in it?

With an auto and 2.77 diff I personally don't like your chances. I'd be interested to know the outcome though
 I can see him getting a VERY good jump (couple of car lengths) and you'd only gradually reel him in after several hundred metres.

If your working take your 2grand into the bank use it as a deposit ,get a loan 4 say 8grand ,buy a car for 8or9grand ,you would get a very nice ef xr6/8 for $9000, go blow his doors of with it then pay it of as quick as you can and aslong as your not out pis*ing your pay packet away you will be setting yourself up nicely.

Well it seems you found the answer to the question - you just bought the VS!

or you could still buy a cortina with a 250 in it.. or even better a 2v 250
Now where did i see one of those for sale the other day... oh, on my front lawn! The VS will still flog it, but atleast you wont be driving a commodore! whoops too late.

EA manual should have the auto vs for sure. Maybe just get one for like under $1500 and change the diff ratio and thats instant off the line pick up. if your luckier you may even find an EB which is more power.
i wonder how a stock VL manual would go against the VS? My mate had a worked one and it blows them away off the mark but only manages to win by a car length in rolling start. You can pick one of them up for under $2000. Basicaly any large6/8cyl motor with a manual and efi thats under 20 years old should beat it with the right driving |
