VL COMMODORE VS Vs PULAR

[Sabby]

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

[VL Berlina 5speed]

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

[CALAIS 6]

if the pulsar is a manual and ur vl is a auto it will kill u most likely depending how good the driver is they maybe small but they do have a bit of power

[SUSPECT]

the pulsar will give u a good run till it changes into 2nd, then vl will boot past cos it doenst need 2 shift till 80

[CALAIS 6]

depends how good the guy can shift

[HIROLLA]

A 2 ltr meaning sr20 engine will munch your 3ltr rb30 ive seen it done before and the vl kept up for about 20meters then he was gone. This vl was immac to with bout 90000kms so yea.

[1991_Vn2nV]

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.

[GLD-086]

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)

The carby Falcons yeah.. They are slow as shit and a VL would rape it I reckon

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!

[rb26dett]

Pulsar for the win.

I have beaten VL's in an Excel (twincam version)

[greenfoam]

I reckon if you advance the dizzy and stick some good fuel in it and a CAI of some description you can knock almost a second out of your 0-100 time and give him a good run!: )

[Patrio7]

in a 1/4 mile, i'd hope for the VL but slide the $20 to the pulsar... sorry.

[veclubby]

yep pulsar definately hey, afraid to say.... give it a go for fun anyway would be good to see u win.

[vnstu]

i've beaten Excel's in a volvo.

probably wasnt a twin cam ;-)

[Goon]

If the pulsar's packing a injector on top of the carby, lookout

Those things fly!

[Pretender]

VL auto is around 11 sec to 100km/h stock, just extractors will knock nearly a second off that (they like to breathe), putting the VL at 10.0 seconds.
If the Pulsar is a manual you still have a two second shortfall. If it is an Auto you only have a 0.7 shortfall so it may come down to the comparative condition of the motors plus launching skills.

[Sabby]

thanks for that info mate., im lookin at buying extractors soon. or wen i drag ill jsut take the whole system off and have nothng lol, bit loud tho.
i was at the lights on mountain highway 2 days ago, and i was next to a pulsar, belive it or not, i revved my engine, he revved his, ( sounded like shitbox) and we took off. he beat me by about 1 1/2 car length but as it was near the end i was only in gear 2 and catchinh up. i rekon if the race was about 1 kilometer i wud take him, sure his car is fast pickup, but i rekon top range i wud beat him.
anyone agree? or not really

Most volvo's are slow because of the driver, not the car...

Yeah I reckon up top, the VL would win.

VLs love the mid to high range.

DAMN, the other night my mate wanted to see how fast i could get to 100km/h in the calais, 7.3sec it was on slight uphill, and done by mobile phone stop watch. i was disapointed thought it would at least be mid 6sec.... oh well more mods.

anyway on topic, give your mate a go from standstill and then do one from say 60km/h - 110km/h and see if there's any differance.
also my mates got a vl 5spd stock and that thing goes alright, would flog a pulsar i recon

Yeah the 5 Speeds go really good. (Don't worry, I'm not biased )

1st gear is quite ordinary, but I love 2nd and 3rd.
