:eclipsee_ :eclipsee_ hey thats me in the link above :eclipsee_ :eclipsee_

how fast down the straight 180 + off the top off my head

I am not saying who this is, all I am saying is that I had no idea this was taken until I got home Sunday night. I had stern words with the filmer.

It is a bit of a laugh, but beware there is a bit of inappropriate language in the clip, but funny just the same.

Big_Trev can you post links up to other clubs that may have videos? thanks

[Trevor 57]

The only other forum that I have seen anything is Nissan Silvia, I haven't seen anything on the Holdens ones I visit.

I reckoned you would have been doing around 185 km/h, as I estimated that I was doing around 180 km/h. My estimate was based on how fast I was going at the 3rd/4th gear change. I have since found another 50 ftlb, so perhaps I will be able to keep up next time withou drafting. :eclipsee_

I see that you did the Musclecar Challenge in QLD. Did it cost a pretty penny to tow it there and back?

[Trevor 57]

Look at the speedo in the clip I posted above, that's a midly worked worked 351 Clevo in a ute IN THE RAIN!!!

Your not the only one to have a touch more power :


ooooh yeah but it was worth it
Towed the Xr up on mates tandem behind his new AWD 6spd Auto Territory ,the Terri towed awsome .Went up for 2 weeks 3 days of racing then up to the Sunshine coast for a week and took the Boys through the The Bowden Family Collection of Cars ,then a night on the goldie and slowly made our way home via Port Macquarie and then a night in Canberra and then home .Racing all fuels (racecar and tow car)Accom,meals and all partying and spending approx $5,000 not much is it????

As the video wasn't real clear, I took a look at an XD tacho. It appears that you were shifting at 4500rpm. What diff ratio, gear box and tyres were you running?

[Trevor 57]

2:77

4 speed single rail

14 x 205 x 85

[xbgs351]

Bw -xb - 4.1/4.9-5.8
1 - 2.82 - 3.06 - 2.46
2 - 1.84 - 1.84 - 1.78
3 - 1.32 - 1.32 - 1.27
4 - 1.00 - 1.00 - 1.00

The ratios for the single rail in 4.1 & 4.9 engines is the most common so I will assume that is what you have.


The tyre size that you mentioned doesn't sound right. Below are some more common sizes
205/60R14 ---> 23.7" diameter
205/70R14 ---> 25.3" diameter
205/75R14 ---> 26.1" diameter

I assume you were in third gear? What is the actual tyre size?

[Trevor 57]

No sorry the tyre size is wrong, I will have to re-check, but it does grab 4th gear just before the 1st (3) brake marker on the straight. we were being gentle on the revs because of the weather, normally 5000.
