VL COMMODORE VS Vs PULAR
hey everyone, ,
i got a Vl commodore with reco auto and full exhasut system with X/ers.
its got a new gearbox and in immacualate condition,
i got a mate with a nissan pulsar, N14 Q(2LTR) 1991, 105kw atw factory standard.
who do u think will win in a drag?
ive heard the pulsar will win becuse of its weight to power.
but i jus wanna make sure hes right.
tell me what you think
cheers

105 kw at the wheels? or at the fly wheel? because if he has it at the wheels he will kill you but if its flywheel you could possibly have a chance,
lets face it vls arnt the quickest Na car around and its only the turbos that give the vl its rep

yeah i'd be backing the Pulsar. VL's are fairly slow but in my experience its off line that it would get killed. 60+ you would take him I reckon.

Pulsar I'd say. 
N/A VLs aren't that bad.
Just got to get it through the assclowns, that drive clapped N/A Autos that try to drag XR6Ts,WRXs,Skylines etc that they're NOT!!! the fastest cars around and stop giving other N/A drivers a bad name.
Note: That wasn't directed at you Sabby.

There aint alot of cars left to drag then. The VL N/A auto is in the 10's for 0-100, which since the late 80's, is a rather slow 0-100 time. Unless you are dragging older cars of course.

yer i no wat ya mean mate. i hear it alot, this was a dispute between me n my mate, i think hes got 105kw at flywheel.
it is true that the vl's have a kindov slow pick up, but i noticed that it picks up speed once past 50 kms. turboes arnt really my style. i like the stocky.
nice and original.
thank guys for the replys, keeep em comming.
also this was posted on a pulsar thread and everyone there sed his car will kick mine, i dont care, THE VL LOOKS BETTER

What about XF Falcons?
I heard that the 4.1 Litre is no better, then the RB30E. (In stock form)

Why don't you just line 'em up and see? 
I too reckon the Pulsar will eat you, depending on how good a driver he is.
My mate once beat a Magna (200? model 3.0L?) in his g/f's Pulsar Q with me in the passenger seat. Mind you, he was a gun at flat changing - quickest gear changes I've ever seen!
