    Coming out of that last bend shows the race car didnt have that much more acceleration then the Gen F GTS

    The gts would have more torque wouldn't it, so it's not engine that made it slower in comparison out of that last corner more corner speed I think from the supercars tyres and chassis.

    Nah I doubt it but as far as a road car being close to a supercar. There are still massive differences. But performance has never been closer in the modern supercar era

    Its a whole combination of things. Sequential gearbox flat changes, higher horsepower and corner speed and lower weight and centre of gravity.

    I couldn't imagine a 5.0L atmo engine in any state of tune putting out 740Nm, that's a biiiigggg ask. More power? Yes, but torque? It would be fascinating to see what a Super car bodykit on the VF would do, you could see the difference in speeds entering Caltex Chase, the race car had the downforce to go much faster through the bend.

    Re: Supercharged HSV? - Part 4

    and there you go,

    just looking at the road cars (VX gts and the VF), a 1/2 sec approx of difference in 400m times equates to tens of seconds per lap..

    the vf is not just a quarter mile queen, but a formidable track car.

    There's a similar video with a V8SC, brocks A9X and a VZ SS..

    You do realise power is just torque and revs right

    Erebus were quoted saying their engine was putting out 485kW (650 BHP) at 7,500 rpm and 616Nm. Don't forget either that both the VX and GenF are carrying a lot more weight, maybe 600kg in the case of the GenF GTS. I am really impressed.

    Re: Supercharged HSV? - Part 4

    Comparing the Supercar vs GTS is chalk and cheese for a million reasons, some already mentioned and some not, at the end of the day its just for marketing and it looks fantastic on TV... For a big fat family car and thats not being negative, the GTS did a fantastic job, looked good and sounded good, but with Garth driving I would expect nothing less
