    Re: Fpv gt rspec

    whats the point of having soo much power that it just shreds tyres? My ls2 is a handfull already in my VZ,
    in fact its soo bad that forget the 0-100 as its pretty much useless.

    A stock car hardly shreds tyres even a GT

    Mate....They do...if ya want them to.
    Ask my daughter...Just before I sold our VZ GTO, I visited her, & upon leaving, after turning off the traction control,.....I left.....impressively......and "smokingly".....no problem in shredding the tyres at all!!
    Cheers, Pickles.

    You can do that in a v6. Frying the tyres from standstill is not something to think is special. Do it at 100

    Re: Fpv gt rspec

    these days technology is keeping up with our want for power upage. Traction controls are very adaptive these days and even launch control will help you use all this new power easily and over and over all day safely. 10 years ago performance cars didnt need TC or LC as they didnt have enough power.
    So those that say power levels are enough.....go do some research on how supercars do it...because these are the things that filter down to our super sedans and make them safe and efficient to have MORE power.

    Imagine a VT with 325kws hahah everything else stock.

    haha yeah true of course....but i was thinking more what theyd be like with a current 325kw engine bolted staright in a stock VT chasis. Id imagine it would be a million law suits with VTs around many poles....

    I didn't say it was special.....only that a standard car could do it..easily. As far as doing it at 100KPH...mate, I'm not interested.

    Some types believe surviving this sort of behaviour somehow makes you more of a "man"...

    Some believe it takes skill with car control to do this sort of behavior safely on a track. When it was originally said he didn't say doing it down the Monash or the M5 in peak hour traffic....

    One would reasonably expect that since we are talking road cars here, then road is the natural hunting ground. Don't you agree???
    But, if you insist on talking track to defend the comment, a genuinely good driver knows that unless the tyres are gripping, you can't maximise your rate of acceleration, braking and cornering- the very factors that give you your gun lap time. Wheelspin, skidding, understeer and oversteer cost both time and compromise car control.
    The biggest problem on the roads is that some people THINK they have exceptional driving skills like these top level race drivers, and can easily drive their way out of a potentially dangerous situation because of their (self judged) abilities. These are the types I think we are talking about...
