Anytime anyplace. And by the way auto XR8's are geared the same as the XRT, its the manuals that have a different diff ratio. Haven't lost to a Turbo yet but it will come down to who gets the jump off the line because they will run side by side to 100. Your car has done 8000kms more than mine, so yours is well and truly run in while mine is getting better by the day. And why are you Turbo owners so touchy, I didn't say the XR8 would flog the turbos, I said they would run side by side.
There is a legal off street drag meet at Calder Park tonight (1st August). I'll be there in my stock auto Turbo and would welcome any XR8 drivers to come aswell to end the debate on which is quicker.
There is also a debate on the turbo forum about which is quicker auto vs manual, and i hope that can be resolved aswell.
I'm not trying to be hostile or intimidating to anyone and would hope that after the drags regardless of the results we could all have a few drinks and a chat about our cars.
It could be a great oportunity to settle a few debates.
Hey SVTANG, unfortunately the meet was called off due to the track being too slippery. I heard from MAVSS that there was a XR8 there and also a GT. It would have been a great experience as it was my first time. Looks like i'll have to wait a few weeks now as im working the next 4 Fridays. I hope to get to the Drags after then but not sure on the date.
MAVSS, thanks for your kind words and encouragement, both were gretaly appreciated.
well there should be a gt ford not falcon running there ha 10 seconds flat pass ha now imagine that supercharger if it was turned up a bit more go ford
Have to agree with ya, Laminge. I was a bit pissed off actually. It had rained all week - don't tell me they didn't know the track was wet before we all got there. Smells a bit like getting the punters money then tell them it's cancelled.
I had number 159 and was a fair way back in the Q. Looked like was going to run an SS ute, would have been fun.
Was a bit disapointing as it hadn't rained all day. They must have know earlier that the track was going to be unsuitable.
