[General] HOW to race your car

[robm56]

you know whats sad? even if i did have slicks i wouldnt be able to do a burnout standing still, dunno if its converter in gearbox or diff but u cant msh brake and throttle to create a burnout in my car (vz) unlike the older commodores , whats the solution to that aye?

i had that problem when i first jumped into my vx ss. haha not used to having to turn off the traction control

The Alloytec computer limits torque. This is because the 5 speed automatic in the SV6 is weak as piss and would just break otherwise. That's why an Ecotec launches MUCH harder off the line even though the specs say it should have less torque.

It also has a few other anti-fun features, e.g. you can't rev it over 4000rpm in neutral.

The Ecotec has none of that crap and will light 'em up all day long

ah now i know. thanks tons for the info mate. u think that limits fun? try putting the handbrake on while going 2km/h in drive. feel like the car is bout to fall apart lol

the other limiting factor will be the diff, most commies have a 3.08 ratio diff, which is tall for any thing, this is why commies get good economy. changing to a 3.50 or even a 4.11 will give you more acceleration, but a lower top speed and worse economy.

On street tyres DONT SPIN THE WHEELS it does nothing, they are designed to have traction across all temrature ranges and keep the pressure at the recomended pressure

well mate that is totally wrong, started reading then read this and thought well the rest is probally garbage, i know for a damn fact that i run street tyres, triangles 17x235x45 and they are $135 a pop, cheap and nasty, well 0-100 time will be 6.4 on cold tyres and then with a lil warm up skid pushing 6.0 and that is using a g-tech.

warmer rubber = more grip, enough said.
