Holden Torana 202 vs Holden SS Ute V8

Holden Torana LC 202 vs SS Ute V8. Torana ran a 13.88 vs 14.03 but lost on reaction (.732 vs .593). My 1/8 mile was 8.83 seconds. Top speed was only 96mph vs 102mph. I have to fix my linkage problems on the triple webers as it robs top end power when I change into topgear. Oh and I don't have a LSD so don't use many revs off the line!

that is nice. I had a LC sedan, stripped down, bare floor, no back seats, strong 179HP, SU's toyota 4 sp and quite a bit of other fruit.

And don't those V8 boys love being beat, repeatedly, by a red six.

@KG84C Yea I often have people in shock when they see under the bonnet to find out its "only a 6" . Its always been a favourite and the difference between a warm 202 and stock one is huge. as you know. Can't wait til I get out on the track doing some sprints :P

@steaknkibble Bogans drive Skylines or VT Commies these days, us old school boys have moved into the realm of 'classic car restorers'.

@DieselDownunder I havent had this engine on a dyno so any power is purely guestimate. I am told it takes a bit of horsepower to get to 105mph through the quarter and thats what its done so far.

@freestyla101 exactly what i thought. no i was not insinuating that you are a criminal, but funny to see your mind immediately jump to that conclusion. what i was doing was proving a point, yes you are a snot nose 14 year old with no respect, no, i dont really care act as you please im not your old man, but dont go around dropping names of cars you own, there's a certain implication that comes with ownership suggesting you have worked hard for your possessions and not have them given to you.

@freestyla101 hahaha yes i do OWN all of these vehicles. I am not a criminal, i bought the uc torana for $100 from a bloke from the next town and all of the others i got from mates fathers for free

[freestyla101]

@enginerebuilder1 uhh that doesnt answer my question, do you OWN these vehicles?

[enginerebuilder1]
