sent me a very disturbing private message this morning. please view it on my profile hes a disgusting child predator who fools no one at all. are my children safe? are yours? when will the authorities do something about him what wait for him to actually abuse a child?, its a fucking disgrace people like this live with us
@450hp202turbo - Are you not contradicting yourself by saying that "THEY HAVE TO STRAP A SNAIL ON THERE CRAPY OLD..." when you are refering to your 5.7 that is running 8psi boost?? .... Boost for thought..... *****Thumbs up if 450 is a twat*****
Ford should make a light weight version of the xr6 turbo and F6, like under 1500kgs and get them into supercar territory :P call it the XR6 super leggera or something.
man tht is pretty wild gota love those turbos, i own a holden vy ss ute big cam etc 296 rwkw 4.3-4.5 sec to 100 depending on take off how much u spend on your car man snaps like a bitch through the revs lol nice :)
@XPS720GAMER Your vy ss would beat this car. The xr6 turbos are shit. They got to be pushed hard to get their maximum performance. The V8's are more effortless.
My vz r8 get to 100 in about 4 sec dead thanks to the eaton tru-trac differential.
wait till i do the l92 head conversion and bigger cam, and 3000rpm high stall, will see me about 350rwkw cause im installing a custom 3 inch exhaust system and they make more power than any other brand bolt on system. i got 3:46 diff gears stock
@bortous fk off mate, my xr6t makes 850nm torque at 2600rpm to 5700rpm pushed hard my arse you havent even driven one let alone a proprely tuned one by the sound of it so stop gobbing off. I'll put it in simple terms you'll end up spending alot more to make the same power as a modded xr6t.
@Lynchy237 That's some good power. Mine will have about 340-350rwkw with the l92 heads and big cam and over 700nm at rear wheels too. Plus a 3000rpm high stall too. Reason why I prefer the 8,s is because power is instant with zero lag plus the sound.
yeah sounds good, lag isnt all that bad if it is driven properly. Right gear selection for corners and for standing start stall it up off the line, then boost is already on boil for launch. Its awesome when you anticipate for when it hits boost and just kicks you back in the seat. But yeah I'd love to own a blown XR8 as a weekend car haha the sound of a blown 8..Incredible.
@bortous Yeah. In case you didn't know, the vz r8 was quicker off the line than the ve. The auto version of mine pulled 13.2 sec stock down the 1/4 but the best time ever recorded was 12.9. Don't forget mine weighs less than a stock bf falcon.... By 5kg! The ve has a great driveline and balance but the car itself is shit and has an ugly cheap looking interior.
@bortous haha after a stroker kit and twin turbo kit maybe,fuck you dream dude,there is a twin tuebo VE SS ute on here 10.8 on slicks and he is driving hard as nails getting good 60 ft times
@BAwithBALLS you tellin me you wouldn't call an ss commodore a holden because the heart is a chev?? you've got rocks in you head. BAwithNOBALLS, my FG is sik but my holden VL rb30et is way siker - 1200kg, 410rwkw and wheelstands EZY9s
@747turbowags damn right smartass ill even call ya fully hectik VL a fucking nissan ya little cunt because it has a NISSAN motor in it,face the facts sweetheart,if i pulled 600kg off my FG and ran 410rwkw i'd punish your VL,and i hope u dont have them plates on a vl coz my mate has them a blue RX3 which is actually worthy of them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I got a VZ R8 with a cam, exhaust, OTR intake and tune. pulled 305rwkw using a 215/231 lingenfelter camshaft and mines auto. This cam has very high lift and requires ported heads to work properly but im doing a head conversion using l98 heads and porting them along with a ported wilson fast inlet manifold and porting my stock throttle body. should see me over 330rwkw with an 11sec 1/4 mile. I reckon mine the way it is will beat this xr6
Maybe back when I was running this 315rwkw setup. But I doubt it. The torque I'd be making would be amble to put you in the rear vision mirror rather swiftly :)
These days, I run an aftermarket exhaust and small converter. Making 370rwkw on only 2psi more boost than when this vid was shot. So no hop these days :(
Sorry mate. And just remember: "Holden, they found the problem, and circled it" :P
Yes i did but the HSV is definately a lot better than even a VZSS. biggest difference is handling and suspension not to mention one of the most comfiest interiors in the world. did you know the falcon is officially being axed in 4 years time? No more!!
Also my suspension is fully modified too. sway bars, all bushings, springs and shocks.
the mods were expensive because I got the best quality parts.
Oh sure , i know what the HSV V8's are capable of, and yes they do have a nice interior but one little function that i use a lot is missing from Holdens that Ford, BMW, Mercedes, Audi & many more have...
Cruise control on the Steering wheel !
All these years , it's still on the damn stick !!
(May sound crazy, but i love the fact you can change ur speed with both hands on the wheel)
Hi mate. My power output is 305rwkw. My heads are stock though so the cam is very restricted as the stock ls2 heads flow up to .550inch valve lift before they cut off.
My cam flows at .633intake and .644 at the exhaust. My car is auto too. Im doing an l98 head conversion and porting them, porting a wilson fast intake manifold, and porting my stock throttle body. My car will make about 340rwkw and will pull 11 sec 1/4 miles.
to make good times you have to be a good driver, and porting a stock throttle body wtf do you like bad idling just get under run pulleys same power gain and no issues
I already have the underdrive balancer and pulleys. With my throttle body its going to be port matched to the inlet manifold, and heads. Everything will be getting port matched. And im changing my cam to a 229/242 .631 .631 and 114 CL. I will have between 340-350rwkw along with a 3000rpm high stall converter.
4.8 sec is not bad for a 0-100 time.
I can get just under 4 sec now with a good take off thanks to the great eaton tru-track lsd and sticky yokohama advan tyres.
You would have still spent an extra 3000dollars minimum than this guy, and thats not including the extra 10k for just the R8 badge. a 280rwkw xr6t with a 4 speed auto would smash your 305 rwkw holden.
@LiLMackaELi6 Bullshit. The clubbie would smash it with just a tune and exhaust u dumb ass. with the r8 badge you get a much better interior big brakes and much better suspension. The base clubbie is shit. Just like an ss. The xr6 turbo is shit as power delivery is not instant.
@bortous r u serious u need a s/c just to keep up with f6 u red neck fuck u r dumb as dog shit if u belive this dribble my mates r8 317kw can not keep up with my stock fg xr6t' not a f6.... xr6t we have raced at wsid just for a bit of fun he pulled a 13.8 best 4 d night for him i ran a 13.2 stock as a rock only did one run did not have to prove any more however he has put a cam , ex, tune and ran a 13.2 it is good enough to equal me in but i flash tuned only the fg xr6t and pulled 12.4
@shitonhsv Ur mate in the ve must not know how to drive as the hsv is actually quicker off the line but down the drag it's neck to neck. As for my vz, they are quicker than than the ve off the line due to weight. I ran a 12.5 sec with a mild cam. Heads stock and no stall converter and im not the best driver. The f6 are pretty quick for stock but I don't like the actual car.
@bortous haha,how dare you call the FG XR6T shit mate,i have humiliated VE R8's all over the state and at meet's,i have bigger cooler,stainless steel piping,bigger injectors and run 12lb of boost,VE SS & VE2 GTS/R8 = goodbye POS.lmao come back when you guys have an engine that hauls ass for 6.2ltr's,coz for the CI it aint that special unless you S/C it
@bortous doubt it, and with the amount of money youve wasted, instead of applying any type of boost, is stupid for a road car. consider the fuel economy and power acheived from the same amount of money being spent on a blower kit or turbo kit. and i know what im talking about, with 3 years at ford,8 years at holden, and 6 years tuning. ffs put a blower kit on instead of wasting money on heads. you could even install it yourself before tuning.
Yep, they are a "fat" car and you need a heap of power to get them moving which means more stress on everything. But they are no different to other cars in it's class. What are you trying to compare them too?
nice car mate and it does go very nice i'm more of the hsv fan but i like them bout ford and holden.I have vx hsv and i got mine to 100 in 5 sec flat without launch jut normal take of but this is pretty quick car mate keep up on good work
I prefer the rumble of an 8 too. Nothing comes close. But to get an aspirated 8 to make 600HP, you're going to need a fairly big cam and converter. It wouldn't compare as a daily driver. And 2 snails on an 8 means a lot more money. Having said that, I'm building a 1000+hp motor for this car as we speak. It's been 6 months in the build and there's a few more to go. A GM trans (4l65e) is going behind it. Lot's of custom stuff and good gear. We're getting closer to the engine dyno :)
very tasty!! good luck with that.. and yes, unfortunately my love for the 8's is also a weakness in this instance unfortunately.. but ah well, what can ya do.. props man... sweet ride and good luck..
I'm a holden man, And if i wasn't going for power I'd get the Holden SS, But XR6 Turbo's are around 250kw out the box, But for around 1.2 grand you can kick it up to around the 350kw, So if it's power you're going for then grab the XR6T but if your a holden man and want a holden but don't care much for power then go with the SS
i got a BF2 MII 6spAUTO custom pipe work battery is now in the boot in replace for the mostly sealed off pod area behind the light. 420injectors nispro valve springs and have had the standed interinal flapper ported to 38ml for easyer tuning 3 3/4inch excorst upgraded intercooler with the CAPA flash tune running only 13psi and have got 324rwkw TUNED by PST AUTOMOTIVE iN slacks creek QLD
nice power u got there i just got my BA XR6T from the speed shop today pulled up 300.4RWKW but the coil packs have shit themselves so its popping like a kent its done 163 thousand km's mind u haha
lol there both shit cars holden and ford are just as good as each other thats why there only driven in Australia because no one wants big guzzling unsafe unreliable over priced pieces of shit and are not dumb enough to buy them
mkdtigar1 the fg falcon has a 5 star safety rating u illiterate fuck and the BF BA AU falcons before them had at least a 4 star rating so your calling them unsafe.. the only car i would want to be in a smash in would be a falcon and no they don't drink that much how does 10litres to 100km sound?? that's not tank like and they are the Cheapest cars u can buy ...so where does this perception of them being overpriced come in?? btw the FG F6 is rated the best sports car under 100 grand
@theboxmike Still lost to a G-Power M3 in terms of speed and power (Don't aussies like them?) , the best sports sedan in the world is the F6? They don't even have it in uk and tested it. Never seen Stig driven it whatsoever. Only the vxr8 Bathrust is.
I'd say it would be fairly close but with about 35rwkw and 200nm more, it would pull away. Although with it's current tune of 370rwkw, it would pull away a littler quicker.
Walbro GSS340, Siemens 60lbers, ported turbo and 12psi actuator, valve springs, full exhaust, intercooler & cold size piping running through factory crossover, under battery CAI, 17psi tune for 370rwkw.
My only beef is why do you have your foglights on in suburbia? People think your a wanker. Let the Holden knobs do it. Save it for where there are no street lights.
Considering the only thing in this vid is the dashboard, I'd say you're taking a stab at it being suburbia. It was in fact not suburbia but semi-rural Melbournia. Not that it matters. I don't see the big deal about having fog lights on anyway.
Me neither, personally, but it is against the law in suburban areas and the do-gooders and truckies hate it for some reason even though they are low to the ground and not very bright. Plus it does look gay when every car cruisin' down the main strips in Sydney and Melbourne have got them on to try and look 'cool'. e.g. George St Sydney on a Saturday night or Brighton le Sands on a Thursday night. You know what I'm getting at.
I think you're a wanker. If he wants to have his foglights on, let him do it. What the fuck makes him a wanker for having his foglights on? Dude, come on.
Violent launch? You mean warming the up tyres and trying to keep it straight with one hand while holding the phone and trying to keep it on the dash with the other hand at the same time?
I've spent plenty in a few areas. But as for pure HP making equipment, about $6k including I/C, zorst, 3inch CAI, turbo porting and 12psi actuator, injectors, fuel pump, tuning. I'm now running 369.3rwkw @ 17psi.
Add 3k for suspension, 1.5k for brakes, 2.5k on wheels and tyres, 2.5k on trans and it adds up.
Why do you upgrade anything? Usually, what you upgrade to is better than the original. The Tein coilovers and Whiteline sway bars leave the stock suspension far behind. Something ride height alone will not do.
F6 bottom end, Nizpro valve springs, turbo ported, 12psi actuator, XForce S/S turbo back 3.5inch system with split dump, Siemens 60lb injectors, Walbro GSS340 fuel pump, Nizpro I/C, Rapid Systems 3inch under batter CAI, PBR C6 front callipers, DBA 4000 slotted rotors, Tein Supersport coilovers, Whiteline swaybars, Speedy Envy MKIII 19x8.5. Currently tuned to 369 rwkw @ 17psi. Killed the trans so got a built one from RVO in Dandenong. And I'm still using the stock crossover :)
On a 55k old motor, it threw a leg out of bed. When the motor was pulled down, every crank bearing was chronically worn on one side with some down to the copper. A bad build from Ford. Probably the line bore was not in the right line! So the cheapest option at the time was an F6 bottom end. $2250 delivered.
It a built factory BTR 4 speed auto from RVO Automatics in Dandenong, Victoria. They can handle up to about 400rwkw. The planetaries are the weak link.
@scotchfillet The tein s are shit. They ride bumpy as he'll and throw you out of your seat over the bumps. Sway bars are essential when changing springs too. A spring change only doesn't do shit.
@bortous - your measurement of suspension quality is how hard they ride? If you got in a touring car or V8 supercar would you call them shit?
The high spring rates on the performance versions of the Teins are aimed at those wanting to do track work. So on the street they will ride bumpy, especially if you set the dampening to hard and lower them too much. That doesn't make them crap. It just makes the person who picked them stupid for not knowing what they were buying ;)
Yep same as the F6. The car is an October 2003 built BA. I bought an F6 short motor from ford delivered for $2250. The general consensus is the F6 bottom end will handle around 380rwkw fairly safely. Of course it depends on your tune, how you drive and how well you look after it, IE change that oil regularly.
While most of these comments are about holden not having a car that can beat a ford XR6 Turbo lets not miss the point. This is not a standard XR6 Turbo. And more then likely this video has been posted because the owner is proud of what they have a archived and so they should be. It is a quick car. Congratulations to the owner for not only archiving but proving that they have a car that can go from 0 - 100 in under 5 seconds.
Awesome Vid mate, just bought my XR6T only just put the stock 0-100 up then. These boys are at the never ending battle ey? haha. The way I see it, if I was gonna pay 150k for a car i'd expect it to run better than a 4.7 especially since I could spend 1/3 that money buy an FG XR6T mod it and have a quicker car.
cant wait to modify my bf xr6t.i found a beautifull peice of trivia for you boys. In the latest issue of motor; the w427 ya no "7liters maaaaate o' ma god! 370kw!" (load of wank really but hey holden boys love it, i think is halerious because they still think v8's are the be all end all)takes on some merc. the figures are 0-400m in 13 flat which is .2 of a second faster then an R8 and only .1 of a second faster then the f6 (reference to f6 vs r86.2 video).
Ford Falcon is the best car in Australia, most reliable, and if we are talking about the stock I6 its the most reliable one, and R.I.P the Barra220/230, they were the most reliable 5.4Litre 3V SOHC ever from Ford;)
hey man do u have traction control on because my brothers xr6t with 345fwkw less than urs his traction control is disconnected because it cant handle the power if the light is on does it mean its off?
its not that quick considering a standard ssv with 217rwkw and stock auto (hsv 3.7 diff) can do it in 4.9 secs.... still i gotta say, fastest xr6t ive seen on here yet...
4.9 secs with just 217 rwkw and 1700 odd kg's? I am sceptical because for a car to run that time with that power it would have to weight a lot less. Just because it has a Holden badge, doesn't mean it can change the laws of physics!
With 315rwkw it has a potential low 4 sec building more boost off the line but wheel spin on street tyres is the issue with the torque these things make. The car now has 350rwkw and is capable of sub 4 secs but again, massive torque mean massive wheel spin.
to veritaslol: the ve has 19 inch wheels with huge tyres on em so they get less wheel spin and they got ashit load more done to there suspention then a xr6T, put a VE 6L up against a fpv typhoon and c how it stacks up, fpv wil munch it
my facts are right, your talking the ve up like its australis best car mate, the only way holden have ever had any chance up against fords new turbos is by stuffin a mamoth engine in there, now there makin a 7L n it stil wont beat the typhoons v6 turbo, theres no competition from holden no more fords won the race
Ah no i dont, i think that holden's are crap and i think that the VE was holden's biggest fuck up. I Know how they run and who much power they have because i work on them every day.
So your facts are wrong
The only reason why i came to this vid is because i am planing on getting an XR6 so i was having a look at some of the vids
So once again get YOUR FACTS RIGHT before you say shit.
Stuff like " your talking the ve up like its australis best car mate"
Hi. I agree with you in some respects. For some reason I have never liked the ve. I have a fully modified vz r8 clubsport with suspension, sway bars allbiptated using the best gear. I don't like the way the ve drives and the only thing I like about it is it's bump absorption and it's rear end balance. I find my vz steers better especially in the corners and turns in with more ease. The fg ford is definately a better car. It steers and handles better than the ve but the new e2 is unreal.
Holden realized their front end was shit and did some work on it. They stiffened the lower control arms and revamped the steering along with a complete suspension overhaul to accomodate the larger wheels and tyres. The whole car is 25% stiffer thanks to stiffer and lower springs. The fg typhoon is a great car but let down by it's rear tyres which are not wide enough. The e2 though would maul any ford on the track as now its more responsive than the ford and grips so much better.
veritaslol ummmm holden claimed that the ve can run 4.93 0-100, but as far as i know, the fastest anyone has gotten it eg motor, wheels etc, is 5.5 or around that maybe 5.4 but not in the 4's, correct me if i'm wrong :)
Yeah thanks mate. Thanks to some good gear and a great tune from my tuner, it goes fairly hard. Just need to get a few things sorted including an exhaust and should be good for mid 11's on street slicks.
It's a BA but has an F6 short motor, valve springs, 12psi actuator, ported turbo exhaust housing/larger flapper, BIG IC, under battery CAI and tune for 315rwkw.
ford are fucking shit dude

@Lynchy237 That's some good power. Mine will have about 340-350rwkw with the l92 heads and big cam and over 700nm at rear wheels too. Plus a 3000rpm high stall too. Reason why I prefer the 8,s is because power is instant with zero lag plus the sound.

Keep in mind you paid a lot more more for the R8 & i bet the mods weren't that cheap either.
Not knocking the HSV, they are a great car, but it's an Imported USA Chev V8 Engine against a locally built Turbo 6.
Holden did have a 270Kw concpet Torana Turbo 6 but never made production.
Shame that would have been a good response to the Typhoon.

Yes i did but the HSV is definately a lot better than even a VZSS. biggest difference is handling and suspension not to mention one of the most comfiest interiors in the world. did you know the falcon is officially being axed in 4 years time? No more!!
Also my suspension is fully modified too. sway bars, all bushings, springs and shocks.

Hi mate. My power output is 305rwkw. My heads are stock though so the cam is very restricted as the stock ls2 heads flow up to .550inch valve lift before they cut off.
My cam flows at .633intake and .644 at the exhaust. My car is auto too. Im doing an l98 head conversion and porting them, porting a wilson fast intake manifold, and porting my stock throttle body. My car will make about 340rwkw and will pull 11 sec 1/4 miles.
bortous 2 years ago
to make good times you have to be a good driver, and porting a stock throttle body wtf do you like bad idling just get under run pulleys same power gain and no issues
seanieisere 2 years ago
I already have the underdrive balancer and pulleys. With my throttle body its going to be port matched to the inlet manifold, and heads. Everything will be getting port matched. And im changing my cam to a 229/242 .631 .631 and 114 CL. I will have between 340-350rwkw along with a 3000rpm high stall converter.
4.8 sec is not bad for a 0-100 time.
I can get just under 4 sec now with a good take off thanks to the great eaton tru-track lsd and sticky yokohama advan tyres.

You would have still spent an extra 3000dollars minimum than this guy, and thats not including the extra 10k for just the R8 badge. a 280rwkw xr6t with a 4 speed auto would smash your 305 rwkw holden.

@LiLMackaELi6 Bullshit. The clubbie would smash it with just a tune and exhaust u dumb ass. with the r8 badge you get a much better interior big brakes and much better suspension. The base clubbie is shit. Just like an ss. The xr6 turbo is shit as power delivery is not instant.

@shitonhsv Ur mate in the ve must not know how to drive as the hsv is actually quicker off the line but down the drag it's neck to neck. As for my vz, they are quicker than than the ve off the line due to weight. I ran a 12.5 sec with a mild cam. Heads stock and no stall converter and im not the best driver. The f6 are pretty quick for stock but I don't like the actual car.

@bortous doubt it, and with the amount of money youve wasted, instead of applying any type of boost, is stupid for a road car. consider the fuel economy and power acheived from the same amount of money being spent on a blower kit or turbo kit. and i know what im talking about, with 3 years at ford,8 years at holden, and 6 years tuning. ffs put a blower kit on instead of wasting money on heads. you could even install it yourself before tuning.

SammyArjona 2 years ago
I prefer the rumble of an 8 too. Nothing comes close. But to get an aspirated 8 to make 600HP, you're going to need a fairly big cam and converter. It wouldn't compare as a daily driver. And 2 snails on an 8 means a lot more money. Having said that, I'm building a 1000+hp motor for this car as we speak. It's been 6 months in the build and there's a few more to go. A GM trans (4l65e) is going behind it. Lot's of custom stuff and good gear. We're getting closer to the engine dyno :)

very tasty!! good luck with that.. and yes, unfortunately my love for the 8's is also a weakness in this instance unfortunately.. but ah well, what can ya do.. props man... sweet ride and good luck..
SammyArjona 2 years ago
to make 600hp in an 8 you don't need a big cam 8psi charged LS1 and a small cam , exhaust, headers, tune and you'll make 600hp at the fly no problemo
but then again thats a holden, probably would need a big cam in a Fuord :)

I'm a holden man, And if i wasn't going for power I'd get the Holden SS, But XR6 Turbo's are around 250kw out the box, But for around 1.2 grand you can kick it up to around the 350kw, So if it's power you're going for then grab the XR6T but if your a holden man and want a holden but don't care much for power then go with the SS

My only beef is why do you have your foglights on in suburbia? People think your a wanker. Let the Holden knobs do it. Save it for where there are no street lights.
sh1166574 2 years ago
Considering the only thing in this vid is the dashboard, I'd say you're taking a stab at it being suburbia. It was in fact not suburbia but semi-rural Melbournia. Not that it matters. I don't see the big deal about having fog lights on anyway.
scotchfillet 2 years ago
Me neither, personally, but it is against the law in suburban areas and the do-gooders and truckies hate it for some reason even though they are low to the ground and not very bright. Plus it does look gay when every car cruisin' down the main strips in Sydney and Melbourne have got them on to try and look 'cool'. e.g. George St Sydney on a Saturday night or Brighton le Sands on a Thursday night. You know what I'm getting at.

I've spent plenty in a few areas. But as for pure HP making equipment, about $6k including I/C, zorst, 3inch CAI, turbo porting and 12psi actuator, injectors, fuel pump, tuning. I'm now running 369.3rwkw @ 17psi.
Add 3k for suspension, 1.5k for brakes, 2.5k on wheels and tyres, 2.5k on trans and it adds up.
scotchfillet 3 years ago
yd u upgrade the suspension the stock one is orsm as it is u should hav just lowered it down bout 3inch would hav stuck to the ground orsmli
fpvrulz21 3 years ago
Why do you upgrade anything? Usually, what you upgrade to is better than the original. The Tein coilovers and Whiteline sway bars leave the stock suspension far behind. Something ride height alone will not do.

F6 bottom end, Nizpro valve springs, turbo ported, 12psi actuator, XForce S/S turbo back 3.5inch system with split dump, Siemens 60lb injectors, Walbro GSS340 fuel pump, Nizpro I/C, Rapid Systems 3inch under batter CAI, PBR C6 front callipers, DBA 4000 slotted rotors, Tein Supersport coilovers, Whiteline swaybars, Speedy Envy MKIII 19x8.5. Currently tuned to 369 rwkw @ 17psi. Killed the trans so got a built one from RVO in Dandenong. And I'm still using the stock crossover :)
scotchfillet 3 years ago
ah k y the f6 bottom end?
fpvrulz21 3 years ago
On a 55k old motor, it threw a leg out of bed. When the motor was pulled down, every crank bearing was chronically worn on one side with some down to the copper. A bad build from Ford. Probably the line bore was not in the right line! So the cheapest option at the time was an F6 bottom end. $2250 delivered.

@scotchfillet The tein s are shit. They ride bumpy as he'll and throw you out of your seat over the bumps. Sway bars are essential when changing springs too. A spring change only doesn't do shit.
bortous 1 year ago
@bortous - your measurement of suspension quality is how hard they ride? If you got in a touring car or V8 supercar would you call them shit?
The high spring rates on the performance versions of the Teins are aimed at those wanting to do track work. So on the street they will ride bumpy, especially if you set the dampening to hard and lower them too much. That doesn't make them crap. It just makes the person who picked them stupid for not knowing what they were buying ;)

00smack00 3 years ago
Yep same as the F6. The car is an October 2003 built BA. I bought an F6 short motor from ford delivered for $2250. The general consensus is the F6 bottom end will handle around 380rwkw fairly safely. Of course it depends on your tune, how you drive and how well you look after it, IE change that oil regularly.

While most of these comments are about holden not having a car that can beat a ford XR6 Turbo lets not miss the point. This is not a standard XR6 Turbo.

its not that quick considering a standard ssv with 217rwkw and stock auto (hsv 3.7 diff) can do it in 4.9 secs.... still i gotta say, fastest xr6t ive seen on here yet...
brencooke 3 years ago
4.9 secs with just 217 rwkw and 1700 odd kg's? I am sceptical because for a car to run that time with that power it would have to weight a lot less. Just because it has a Holden badge, doesn't mean it can change the laws of physics!
With 315rwkw it has a potential low 4 sec building more boost off the line but wheel spin on street tyres is the issue with the torque these things make. The car now has 350rwkw and is capable of sub 4 secs but again, massive torque mean massive wheel spin.

Hi. I agree with you in some respects. For some reason I have never liked the ve. I have a fully modified vz r8 clubsport with suspension, sway bars allbiptated using the best gear. I don't like the way the ve drives and the only thing I like about it is it's bump absorption and it's rear end balance. I find my vz steers better especially in the corners and turns in with more ease. The fg ford is definately a better car. It steers and handles better than the ve but the new e2 is unreal.
bortous 2 years ago
Holden realized their front end was shit and did some work on it. They stiffened the lower control arms and revamped the steering along with a complete suspension overhaul to accomodate the larger wheels and tyres. The whole car is 25% stiffer thanks to stiffer and lower springs. The fg typhoon is a great car but let down by it's rear tyres which are not wide enough. The e2 though would maul any ford on the track as now its more responsive than the ford and grips so much better.
