Performance Numbers

[ronburgundy]

Hey folks

I've had mine for a tick over 2 weeks now, and I'm sure it's a case of WHEN rather than IF I start 'tinkering'. I can't imagine I'll be doing a massive amount to it, but I guess once you catch the bug...!

My question (and please excuse me if it's already been discussed elsewhere but I'm new here and a quick scan around the place proved fruitless) - what sort of numbers is a stock G6ET such as mine good for? I guess in particular I'm curious about

a) rwkw

b) 1/4 ET @ MPH

Of course I've read Wheels magazine and Cars Guide etc that suggest 0-100 in 5.1 secs and 1/4 in 13.3 secs, but figured I'd ask around the traps and see what you guys have achieved.

Your memory does extend far enough back to when your cars were actually stock, right??!!

a) Most of the 270 motor equipped cars now are making between 230-240rwkw iirc.

b) Pretty sure someone cracked a 12.89 in a stock G6E-T not long ago, not sure on MPH though...

Either way you look at it, alot of signs point to the cars having more power than Ford claims - not that that is a bad thing!

[ronburgundy]

A nice change - cars actually EXCEEDING manufacturer's claims!

Wasn't so long ago that a high 12 was a significant achievement for even a moderately modded car...

Ford have been underquoting there power figures since the early 70's.

5.1 13.3 or there abouts with good traction off the line.... mighty quick for a stocker... and yes... hints of the engine figure under quoted to stave of embarresment with the v8..

yeah great car an all, but still, doing a single pegger off the line????????? lol

[tab]

Why the lol...they don't

[smoke]

is the lsd standard, an option or not available?

either way, I'd get one thrown in if I had one :D

[XRSics]

no lsd option

[ronburgundy]

Not an option, not even if you ask really nicely.

As others have said I"m sure, hasn't been a problem for me so far!
