Guest Sorras Guests Posted 14/03/03 02:53 AM Posted 14/03/03 02:53 AM Garth wasn't the driver this year, it was Cam McConville, (still paid by Expensive Daewoo though!)I think the Holden's are just a triumph of top end power, over any sort of handling. I think Winton is a bit of a point and squirt track though, so may have been an advantage. I wonder how they'd compare around Philip Island.
Guest pix Guests Posted 14/03/03 03:16 AM Posted 14/03/03 03:16 AM The article also said that the average temp during the testing days was around 40c this would have an impact on the power of the turbo as against the V8s.
turbo_nick some guy... Member 277 Member For: 23y 11m 7d Posted 14/03/03 08:23 AM Posted 14/03/03 08:23 AM Considering the field, this is an outstanding result! I think the fact this is bettered every Expensive Daewoo out there, and was only bettered by two expensive European cars speaks for itself.

Check it out, this should place the XR6T in 5th not 3rd. Should be:1 Boxter 439.52 SL55 4253 E55 405.54 WRX Sti 3655 XR6T 362.56 S3 353

Guest mvec Guests Posted 17/03/03 08:43 PM Posted 17/03/03 08:43 PM XR6T got couple of 2nd votes and few 3rd votes. This probably counted towards the final tally. Could have been a completely different story if it was fitted with standard brakes. One of the high points was the fact that it's brakes never faded. I know when I order mine next month, I'll opt for the chunky brakes package
