280kw Xr6 Turbo

[Venom XR6]

Bloody awesome times for the 285 Clubbie. To this day, MOTOR have never got a good time from a GT with 13.9 their best. I don't understand why when many non-professional drivers have achieved as low as 13.7 for stocky units and that was in an auto!

Because they leave TC on. That's why. I bet if they turned it off it'd make a difference. Plus, no offence to motor, but the GT would be alot different to the HSV as far as getting it to punch the mits. So having the same driver test both cars, isn't the best go.

Motor magazine never has traction control on on any of there drag strip runs. They always state when they get wheelspin or not so that should be enough to prove that they turn TC off. As for the slower times they get compared to private owners maybe that has something to do with the amount of k's they have on the clock, track conditions on the day and the type of timing equipment used to record the times.

Hot off the presses, the upgraded XR6T is due for release October 2004. Out goes the T5 gearbox and In goes a 6 speeder, the same one in the Holden HSV V8's. The auto is being replaced with a (speculated) Jaguar S-type.

Bad news the GTHO will probably be at least 2 years away, supercharged 5.4ltr making around 360kW with 'astonishing' torque levels from low revs.

October 2004??? What the!!!

What are you gonna do now mate?

Time for a GT perhaps :D

The thought did cross my mind.. may just wait a little while longer.. either that or go crazy with the mods on the XR6T! :D

Is this the FPV version of the turbo, or the series 2?
