Default Vr Ss

My mate has a VR SS, with a 5 speed manual and exhaust plus chip that were all on it when he bought i. Sounds insane cos they removed a muffler! My car gives him a decent run for his money. my lil 4 speed auto, grampa spec 6cyl barge actual gives him a run. of course he usually wins but not by much. i dont stall it up cos i dont wanna break anything. My car usually wins in the wet, hes got noooo traction. to make it neck and neck it only takes 2 people in mine verse 4 or 5 in his!!!

Lowwwwwww

CRAPPY 3.08 GEARS, s/s and 4 spd auto <--- soon to change

as long as the motor isn't clapped out, they are an easy item to take out. nothing feels better than the classic "looser fly-buy" after you have just passed another loosing commo p-plater

ahhh the simple pleasures

The lightest car with the biggest engine is the usual way to pick a winner.

Around 14-1500kg depending on the model/spec/options

i recon the V8 will win, purely because it's torque will keep coming when all of the others die.

also i agree VN series 1 V6's fly, my old EB 4.0L auto wagon (Kept up with my bonnet next to the door of 5 speed XG ute, in it) i got done by an auto VN V6.
