Fg 1/4 Mile Estimations

[tquarrell]

13.3 for the G6E on 95 ron sounds pretty believable and impressive to me. Run 98 ron fuel and you should gain a little more power (guessing at most 15-20 kw) which with good tyres could definately see 12's standard once run in.

Also, can anyone confirm the times for the 7.0 commodore? I thought they'd be at least 1/2 a second quicker (12.2 or better).

Can't wait to take a G6E for a drive, luxury, performance and straight six smoothness/refinement. Thinking I might have to get me one...

15 to 20 kw?? maybe 1/2 to 3 kw!!

I'm not disrespecting the VEs at all, just the Magazine times. I'll rely on real times, not the mags. Were the VEs stock, were they SS or HSV? Also, they were 13.7, not 13.4. And you just confirmed what I have been saying. The Ford 'real world' times are almost always quicker, but its the oposite for the Expensive Daewoo boys.

Credit where credit is due, the latest generation Dunnydores and Falcoons are pretty damn quick (I never actually said one was faster than the other), but this all started when someone started using Magazine figures as Gospel, when my point is that they are less reliable than the NSW state Government.

you can shut up now.

Man, what a spaz thread this has turned into. I think we should all get back on our medication.

Drive.com have just done live testing.

xr6t and GE6t have run 5.1 0-100km and a 13.4 1/4, with air-con on.

officially the fastest OZ production car ever to date, faster the HSV GTS.

Hate to burst anybody's ford bubble but the commy GTS badge 300 about 3-4 years ago run 13.3 stock. VX Model??? it was a production car.

I think he means the 0-100kmh of 5.1 being the fastest australian car.

Auto Hsv GTO ran 0-100 in 4.99 seconds in motor a few years back too.

That time was only ever acheived once. Probably had more rwkw than what it should have had as the other GTS's did 5.2's+.

Anyway we'll see when the comparo comes up!

F6 = if 310kw is correct, I would be guessing torque figures will be around 575nm +. In that case I think a 12.9s is possible with a 0 - 100kmph in 4.9s. I hope that's an acurate guess because if so HSV would be sh*tting them selves because the LS7 (7.0l with 370kw is supposed to run a 12.7 1/4 mile and a 0 - 100 in 4.7s) which isnt much faster than a 310kw FORD for half the price.

What do you think?

Absolutely!

If the 7.0L W427 is 'only' capable of 12.7s (claimed) then the F6 will definitely pose a few headaches for HSV. Similar (or better?) performance for only half the cost.

HSV need to do more than just slap in a GM crate motor and add "Powered by HSV" stickers in the engine bay! As much as I love the GM V8s, the new FPV turbo 6 almost renders the V8s pointless. And yes it hurts to say that!
