I had a rolling race against a mates stock G6E Turbo. My ute at the time was maffless with 3.9's. Got hosed hard by the barge.
Why did you remove your GM LS1 and fit a Chev?Quote:

Not surprised. G6ET runs a 5 second 0-100 stock. There also is a huge difference between BA's and FG's.Quote:

Total cost of mods was about $3500... Awesome bang for buck. Valve springs were fine, boost was dialled in quite hard at 12-15psi and backed off significantly higher in the rev range.
Luis, just a man & I don't bleed! never been keen on Cabs let alone aspirated ones!!!Quote:

if you pick all the facts out of this thread...or you could pull your head out from under a rock..... you would know the 4.0t motors are the new street kings. No offense but if you have to ask you havnt been in this game for long. Bassically anything on the street with a ford badge and a little T badge....high chance its modded and therefore will eat you...unless you've spent double what he has. Its the truth and it hurts :(
What happened? Did all the little girls and boys on AFF goto bed did they?Quote:

But that's my opinion.
Haha that's just classic stuff.Quote:

Having owned an XR I'm well aware of how good these engines are but to call them "street kings" just shows a lot of five knuckle shuffling.
Modern day VLT perhaps and yeah will outdo a commodore with similar money spent, in a straight line.......and don't handle any worse than a commodore. Tbh I'd have a BF turbo over a vt-vz if I ever was inclined to have a taxi again.Quote:

A cross between the 2 would work for me. The simple. Facts engine wise is the xr6 is smoother and better around town
I remember we used to do a combined Motorkhana event with the HSVOC and the XR club and the XR's used to have terrible under steer issues.
All fairly slow speeds, but really showed the difference between the two lineups.
Obviously it's not Apples with Apples because of the price difference between an XR and a HSV, but I certainly know the HSV guys used to go home chuckling.
