Heres an idea (copied form another forum). Moderators feel free to close this thread if it crosses any lines.
Recently there was a thread which compare the VE R8 to a F6. It generated a lot of heat (as most religious debates do), but also had some good level headed comments. This thread is to guage the interest in a get together of Ford and Holden owners at a strip for some fun, a BBQ, share a few stories, settle a few scores, but mostly get together and share in the fact that Australia has such great cars. LS1 members get together with FAF, AFF, XR6Turbo and anybody else. Hire a track for the day. Have a BBQ, run what you brung. Break people into groups, Standard, Modified, etc. Be able to compare VT/VX/VY/VZ/VE SS versus BA/BF XR6T, VE SS/R8/GTS Versus F6, SV6 Versus XR6, also be able to have fastest on the day, ET or MPH (stock and modifed). Would also allow more experienced members of each forum to help beginners. Show off your car, its mods or just what makes it special to you. Could be a great day for all. Would also settle a few issues. Might see a VE R8/GTS do a sub 5 sec 0-100 (can you measure that on a strip?). Might see a stock F6 do a high 12 pass, might see a SS beat a F6 (might not!). Like a dyno day but a shootout strip day, celebrating 2 of Australias finest.  : Anybody interested? If so anybody keen to help organise as being based in NZ makes it a little hard, but if it happened I might come over to see it. |
