I can put this to bed as i'm probably the only person who has dragged one at the lights. Friday night moving through traffic when I spot one of the development mules going across the James Harrison bridge here in Geelong. I caught up to him and had a close look at it. It was a Lightning Strike Ghia, had the 18 inch wheels sprayed black, twin exhaust tips but still had the car bra on trying to conceal the bonnet vent. I was driving my rent a car Nissan Maxima, as you may be aware my XR8 was stolen last week and this was provided by RACV insurance. Further down Latrobe Terrace I ended up next to him at the lights. When they went green I moved off pretty quickly and then floored it. He pretty much went at the same time and he couldn't gain on me to 100 when I backed off. If a Turbo Territory can't real in a 170 odd kw Maxima then how the hell can it out run an F6. It will weight 2150kg+ and with only 245kw it will have a power to weight ratio similar to an XR6 NA. Sorry to burst your bubble but this is just crap.
Maybe the myth that rentals go faster is true. |

if the AWD Territory goes slower than an XT sedan (and maybe a RWD Territory too) then that sort of speaks for itself really
but think of all the sets of front tyres you'd fry though :

The HSV V8 Coupe's have been 1670kg since... they came out. And the sedans have been 1696kg for a long time too, all written on carsales. It says the E55 AMG, for example, is 1835kg, which it is, etc, etc, etc.

Reasonably definitive answer from DRA as shown below. Even with the assistance of AWD and the 4.11 rear end the Territory Turbo isn't playing in the same park.
The raw numbers translate to a 13.48 for the Typhoon (and we've seen close to that) and a 14.17 for the Turbo Territory. Cheers Russ

Terry Turbo with a (Theoretical) 14.17 with a good consistant runs possible with Auto and AWD, you would almost consider that ideal... In the real world it may beat a F6.....

I blew off a Ferrari today, I knew the driver was giving it all he had by the colour of his knuckles _
Sorry guys, street drags don't count. Want to prove something, take it to the drags & then tell us what you & the other guy did. I've lost count how many times I've fooled the fool next to me.
