GM Motorsport finally took their VX GTS test car to calder park street drags.The car has had a head & cam package for nearly 2 years & it was now time to see how the old girl would go.
Talking to head guru Nathan Higgins we both estimated a low 12 second pass would be a fantastic effort if we got traction.
Well the GM machine got traction & belted out a mind blowing
11.85. Thus making it the Unofficial fastest 4 door sedan in australia .

:hmmm:

I've seen Haddad's VN run an 8 second pass, it's got 4 doors so I'd hazard a guess you are at best second fastest.

Maybe a bit more clarification - you mean fastest head & cam LS1 sedan?

Hey you guys are right on the money!
I got a little excited.
New title "fastest 4 door ls1 holden sedan"

Thanks to all the guys that gave their support on the nite .

The shifter is awsome , I'm glad you got to feel how positive it is.
It makes the old m6 feel as smooth as silk and not like your trying to change gears with a big rubber dildo in the console!

Hi

I don't know who the hell was who as so many people were coming up and talking to me but that red vx gts sedan has the best gear shifter I have ever used. Excellent timecard too!

Fan-bloody-tastic!!!

A two year old head and cam package to boot! If you had have run it back when you did it, you would have surely been the quickest and fastest N/A LS1 in the country.

I hear the MPH was around 117 also… Congratulations.

Hi

I am not starting no war here as I LOVE that gear shifter in the vx gts and I need it too for my car ASAP but didn't G&D pull an 11.7 in an ls1 vt ss sedan several years ago?

Well done. Even more impressive with the weight of a GTS.

So are these Mystery shifters for sale. Mine feels like a truck?

Richard, I know you’re not trying to start a war. But if you have a little read of what I wrote, you’ll see that I wrote N/A that means Naturally Aspirated. (Just in case you didn’t realise)

Again, congratulations.

Thanks Plan B & others who gave us credit for this run.
Easier to get credit at crown casino than from some of the people on this site.

The best mph from the night was 117!

I have a racing back round in a lot of forms of motorsport including
owning & driving a V8 Supercar .

I hope to put this knowledge into helping everyone making their
ls1 vechiles more powerful & enjoyable to drive.

There are a lot of good operaters out in this field & a few more looking to join the ranks ,so i would suggest to see how their results on the dyno & track stack up ,Then if you feel the need to judge them ,do it after their results.

New shifter should be available mid jan.
It will help your 1/4 mile & track times greatly.

You will find it is just like people in general except the back stabbing is more visible. I wouldn't worry about it tho as it is only a minority of people who are that way inclined. The majority of us here love to hear of others experiences and achievments and use these recountings to learn and inovate for our own projects :)

Top time and welcome :)

Shite hot time Phonsy.

I'd heard you were getting good results with edit and that a nice new dyno was going into that shed of yours.

You've obviously got the mafless tuning down pat now???

I live a couple of hundred meters up the road from you and had seen the car around and heard a lot about it around the traps.

Good to see it finally put to the test and pass with flying colors.

I might have to think twice about taking you on next time I see you on Gisborne Rd - Na fark it I still will just to see it go.

Congrats on a good time anyway, youre right up there with the big boys on the LIST all in one shot.

Hey Statie
You have heard right.Nice new Dynologic without Shootout Mode.
LS1 edit is my favourite tool in the shed. Getting some awsome results including 250kw @ wheels on an unopened motor. I think this car has been winning the HSV track days.Got to love Mafless tuning. What color statie do u drive ? Location Panel Shop ?

:beer: Not tyrying to be rude but I do low 12s with my N/A ls1 with only bolt ons and 3.9 diff on street with street tyres.Will take it on the new strip in Sydney with slicks and see how she goes.Should be good for high 11s also.

Have you got some time slips? Its over 225..as you can see this is where it spun the rollers then climbs again .It is over 230.I used a gtech and got 12.69 on the street with street tyres.I will be going on the new drag strip when it opens up to have a proper go.I asume with better conditions and better grip I will go better.I am also thinking of getting a stally as loading up is impossible on the auto.
I will post a slip as soon as I run it (good run or bad);)

You say you do low 12's and then later you say you did 12.69 with the Gtech. That's a mid 12, not low 12, and I think you'll find you won't get anywhere near that time on the strip with street tyres. That I believe would make you the fastest bolt on street tyred LS1 in the country. :hmmm:

I'm not trying to be rude, but come back after you've been to the strip with a time card to back up your claims. Good luck!

I'm not trying to be rude, but come back after you've been to the strip with a time card to back up your claims. Good luck! I say I do low 12s as anyone knows if you do a mid number on the street you will get a low number on the strip.You can always do better on the strip than on the road as the conditions are much better,the road is dead level and there is plenty of rubber left on the track especially if you are behind a car that has just left some fresh rubber for you.
Every one I know gets a better result on the strip not the other way around.
Te SV8 is also alot lighter than the other commodores and when you take out all the weight eg spare tyre excesss fuel and so on the car is a weapon.The only problem is traction.
Now problem as I said I will post my best run whether as good as I am expecting or not.
I am lucky I have an auto so there are no excuses.:deal:

Make the claim on Australia’s most Authoritive LS1 Forum otherwise…. Obviously by the Dyno reading of SV8VY’s car he is confident of breaking the Australian record for a
N/A LS1 on street tyres,
SV8VY can you tell us what mods you performed on the car.I ask as some here, myself included spend 24 hrs a day running ideas around to shave 2/10’s of a second off our quarter times and others have spent many thousands of hard earned dollars and 100’s of
Hours of Blood /Sweat and tears in the elusive pursuit of breaking into the 12’s...without the use of H/C combinations or Nitrous.then there are the beginners Iike myself
Who are still floundering a full 1/2 second behind:bawl:

Sorry 12.69 is not a low 12... that's a mid-high 12.

Who are still floundering a full 1/2 second behind:bawl: I replied to these questions before and as I said before I used the gteck for my times on street tyres on the street ,therefore it is not reasonable to assume that I will go better on the strip than on the road especially if slicks are used.It is not uncommon to shave of a full second with front slimmer tyres and slicks at the back.I'm sure you will also agree.Also my car is an auto which makes it easier as there is no need to worry about shift points or rev range while shifting in a manual.
The SV8 is also lighter standard than the Vt/VX esetra.
When I took it on the weigh bridge (without me) it was 1630 kg with a quarter tank of fuel and spare .
The mods on my car are not special in any way.
Good ls1 engine (17000 on the clock)dynoed in shoot out mode when broken in standard 189 rkw.
I have K and N filter with cold air set up through 100 mm pipe to quarter panel and 87 mm throttle body with Gts maf pipe.
I have a good edit done also and gone back to play a little more with and the diff is 3.9.1s.
All my oils are synthetic also.
I only use 98 ron fuel with octane booster added sometimes.
There you have it -nothing special but goes well.I am sure I will do low 12s on the track with slicks and lighter car with a 2500-3000 stally added if my gteck is accurate.If not I will find out this also.all I know is that using the same gteck I was getting low 14s when standard on the street and now 12.69 (I agree mid 12s)
There you have it ,I am not here to offend only to contribute and learn also and give advise where I can.
I have beaten other cars that claim a low to mid 12s on the street and at the moment can only go by this and the Gteck.If Im the quickest do I get a trophy ? :nyuk:

Cool. Does this mean I'll do 11.66 on slicks? Easier said than done.

Do you currently have a hi-stall converter when you ran 12.69?

Hi

I have used a gtech many times including whilst dragging at calder. Sometimes it is accurate and sometimes it can be as far as .7 of a second out.

Usually it was always .2/.3 out though. I gave it away as it wasn't suitable for my purposes.

I know of an Sv8 that did mid 12s with same speck as mine on street tyres on the strip(hek Im running his program)Now he is doing 11.4s with nos and with cam ,heads,bigger exhaust set up and 9 inch dif expects to get 10s or better.So I dont think this is unreasonable. I forgot to mention I also have H & M headers(coated) and full 2 and halve inch unrestricted exhaust with cats highflowed with 230+ rkw and 530 nm and gear shifting 250ths of a second and more rpm at redline.. (sorry Im geting excited ...I love my car) should be ok :rofl:

Yeah it does have a maf but not much in it (has ben ported)I tryed to make the engine bay originally as stock as possible also....I know everone keeps telling me get rid of the maf even when getting it tuned.Originally I wanted to keep it so that I could inject Nos in the air box but now the latest is to use the wet Nos setup and inject it just before the throttle body.I want it to look stock also so when I take it to the Holden dealership they wont see too many mods ...thanks for posting my pic :cheers:

I will keep you honest, lets go to WSID together on 04/02/04

I would like to witness your mid low high 12's on the track.

First a few questions.

Who is your tuner?
What tyres are you running.?(not slicks)
What exactly are your engine mods.?
Do you run a stally? if so tell.

I will be running street tyres, have a sealed motor with bolt ons and the same RWKW.

Do you accept my invitation?
This is not a challenge just a friendly invitation for a fun night of drags.

Talking to head guru Nathan Higgins we both estimated a low 12 second pass would be a fantastic effort if we got traction.
Well the GM machine got traction & belted out a mind blowing
11.85. Thus making it the Unofficial fastest 4 door sedan in australia .

Top stuff good work keep it going faster.

Glad to see you guys keeping tabs on SV8VY 11 second 1/4 mile weapon.All has gone quiet!
Not that easy as Plan B stated in his earlier post.
Maybe you should get some work done at Sam's or get a tow behind Victor Brays chev.

Hey Criso
Will try and get you a shifter in around 4 weeks.
Putting the shifter from my calder run into Nathan's car so we can give it a blast on friday night l :thumbsup:
Call me & we can work something out.

Yep the magician is a poof when it comes to driving. But he gives good head(s). Duggan Balancings boat 350 (i think) was beating most of the Blown boats on the weekend. Guess who did the heads. Dont know what sort of heads they were but never seen anything like them before.

GM I am after one of these shifters too. I have just arrived in melb. Can I come over and have a look /feel this week at the one you are running .

Hey Darren
If you are going to Calder you can have a feel of how the shifter works.Just come over and introduce your self ! Will be good to meet you.

Hey pete
Nathan has given me some driving duties on friday, cant wait to flat change that monster all the way down the strip, hope his clutch works well.

Cheers Phonsy

Ps That boat you are talking about is a good friend of mine.
He loves giving it to the Blown Boys.

Sounds like there could be a big turnout.
Your car is auto in your description & sounds like it is pretty fast.
Hope to see lots of ls1 on friday.

Haven't been on the forum for a while but it looks like things have been heated up -with my original gteck time of 12.69 getting to 11s?
Anyway I must apologise as I have been doing a few quarters and my best time is 13.36 on street tyres with the same gteck.0-100 is 5.01 sec
I still intend to go to the track and see what I get but looks like most people here are right about the gteck -not consistent.
Still evan though not a record low 13s with only bolt ons are pretty good I think.
I had a run the other day with a friends VT with 267 rkw and beat him by 3 cars.I was happy with that effort.
Oh well no trophy for me

Hi SV8Vy,

I looks like this wednesday is out due to the big boys doing a test and tune.

The next street meeting is 11/02/04 you should come along for some fun, and give my mid 13 Berlina a beating. At least you wont get booked

It would also be a good opportunity to get validated, come and meet some of the guys & sponsors. Time to bin the gstring i mean gtech and get a real times down.

PM me for details
