Best BFYB Commodore

[TheForgotten]

Pretty sure the dude above asked what type of n/a motor was fast - dont think that includes the L67 then does it ?

and you're mentioning a turbo engine because...???

I go for probly the early buicks, VN-VR if well looked after. series one VN had too much poke for nanna's so they added the bellmouth, and my VR still has enough go to scare passengers

dude i did say V6:thumbsup:

Yeah you also said they are the fastest v6 what holden used. That is not true.:thumbsup:

0-100k's sorry my bad not 100m but 100k's VN S1 are still the quickest.

0-100k's sorry my bad not 100m but 100k's VN S1 are still the quickest.

And i still highly doubt that Dont believe everything people say on here. The vy vz and ve are year's ahead in technology. Do you think a buik v6 engine what was designed from a v8 is going to be "quicker" then a engine what has 10+ years of technology on it

yeah and 10 years of safety features and comforts weighing the car down making it a slug compared to the vn, not to mention a sh*t diff ratio in the vz

VN
3.8 litre Auto 15.72 400m and 7.9 0 - 100km/h for $600 stock and on gas, 0.0262 seconds per dollar (15.72/600) for 0 - 400m (my bargain car).
The real BFYB is:
5.0 litre mid 14s to 15.1s 0 - 400m, under 7.0 0 - 100km/h basically stock with a few tips from this forum $1500 - $2000, from 0.00755 - 0.00967 seconds per dollar for 0 - 400m.

Price and weight and therefore seconds per dollar go up from there.

Of course you may be lucky and pickup a worked 308 early model that does 12 seconds for $500

Edit: Just checked local paper and there is only one V8 for under $2000, average is $3000 this week. Therefore purely in BFYB the V6 VN manuals at 15.6 0 - 400m for $1500 (0.014) and $1700 (0.00917) win this week.
Remember VLTs manuals are lineball with VN V6 manuals until you through money at them.

vs exec with no options light as **** and it alows you to modify everything easy,and you can now pick up fpr $2000

Incorrect there was someone over calaisturbo running low 15's in n/a rb30. Stock vl turbo's used to run 14's, if your lucky 13's. 13's, 14's 15's 16's 17's are all slow on the 1/4. Is this poll rigged or something?

Yeh, NA VL with money spent on it. How much? :whistling
Remember BFYB is looking at best performance for the lowest price. I voted on the poll as BFYB with no set amount just best performance for your dollar.
If you budgeted say $10000 max you could buy a V8 in any model from VN on and the cheaper you buy it for the more you have to spend on some go gear.

Ultimately the NA VL would have a greater gain with the same money spent on it as a 3.8litre but still has to make up the deficit first to match a VN.

Stock VLTs couldn't break 15 seconds for the 400m and were certainly nowhere near 13 seconds. With a a few well chosen mods 13s is very possible. 13 seconds slow? 13.00s equates to 0-100 times between 4.5 - 5.00 seconds which 99% of road cars could not match. Slow for a drag car, quick for a road car.

VL Man Stock 0 - 100 = 9.2 - 9.6, 0 - 400m = 16.6 -16.85
VL Auto Stock 0 - 100 = 11.02 - 11.22, 0 - 400m = 17.03 - 17.22
VLT Man Stock 0 - 100 = 7.55 - 7.71, 0 - 400m = 15.57 - 15.64
VLT Auto Stock 0 - 100 = 8.22 - 8.35, 0 - 400m = 15.95 - 16.1

VN V6 SI Man Stock 0 - 100 = 7.54 - 7.63, 0 - 400m = 15.55 - 15.83
VN V6 SI Auto stock 0 - 100 = 7.89 - 8.19, 0 - 400m = 15.62 - 15.73

VN V8 Man Stock 0 - 100 = 7.30 - 7.5, 0 - 400 m = 15.24 - 15.35
VN V8 Auto Stock 0 - 100 = 7.50 - 7.93, 0 - 400m = 15.48 - 15.76
