Re: VE 1/4 mile times only data base. - Part 1
Anyone know any other specs about the car?
That's a quick 60ft is the car stripped? Very impressive none the less
What tyres?

Re: VE 1/4 mile times only data base.
Couldn't tell you anything about it, but going by the FB pics they put up, it wasn't stripped. Didn't see inside but could clearly see the passenger seat.
Very unassuming for a 9 sec car, looked like a regular VE GTS on slicks!

Re: VE 1/4 mile times only data base.
Man those guys know how to get them hauling!!
If anyone else or active can shed some specs of the car would be great!

Re: VE 1/4 mile times only data base. - Part 1

What gearbox are you running...it hauls off the line!!!

Re: VE 1/4 mile times only data base. - Part 1
Yes good effort, the good "ruler" shows about 850hp for a full weight VE.

This I know...but my question was directed at Active, imho you have the quickest street driven A6 in Aus .
-
Re: VE 1/4 mile times only data base. - Part 1
The last time i spoke to ed from active was @the motorplex late last year and i think it was still a6 back then.

. imho your still a mile in front with a car than can be driven from Perth to Brisbane in comfort , (without 500K worth of shares in Shell ) , ever tried an* instant up your 1/4 mile with a 2 / 3 speed Auto.*..I have and would never savage any VE of my own that way..an that’s coming from a 6K TC A4 convert.
Just my take ..keep it going mate , there is more than one Aus Tuner who has been left in your backwash via that A6 ...Damn fine thing your doing . :thumbsup:

Re: VE 1/4 mile times only data base.
Here is my last run @ Heathcote, nothing special about the e.t but the mph is awesome, had 3 runs in both lanes.
Ran 132mph, 132mph then 131mph.
Broke a rocker assembly & 2 valve springs on this pass.

I just had a look at the car you just added to the "Garage" on here, I like the front grille, very unusual:goodjob:
http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/garage_v...vehicle&id=121
I also saw your car on Active's facebook page as well, do you work there?
You seem to know a fair bit about them.

Yeah they have a great reputation, I am sure they would.
I saw all your stuff was done there and I guessed.:lol:
So what are you doing now then? Another tuning shop?

Re: VE 1/4 mile times only data base.
Whilst there is no doubting your sincerity to those good folk who built and tuned your VE,( it’s all over the Net ) ,I believe your labouring under a grave misapprehension when it comes to what the VE 6 speed Auto can 60ft at on the stock converter , put in Layman terms a 1.61 60ft ,minus the services of a High Stall is but a flight of fancy imho, even allowing for the highly abbreviated time slip .
Most certainly beyond my humble reckoning given The Black Maloo requires the services of a 5K Vigilante in front of that same A6 …..Simply to run 1.7’s
There is a well Known VE A6 running 10.2’s over in WA……..might I suggest you ask the good chap what High Stall he utilizes ( for a damn near identical time slip) , for factory stock it is most certainly not. Not hard. He’s already posted in this thread.
