VN V6 quicker than Monaro CV6..

[HoZy]

Hey all, On the way home, set of lights took off up to speed limit etc etc nothin illegal, and next to me was a Devil yellow CV6 Monaro, They are slow..... lol That's all i really have to say... CV6's are slow, but not that slow, About 1car length only..... hehe was home from picking my car up from the Tranny place, got full service and had the band's replaced and tweened a lil..


Cheers

P.S- The 2 guys in the Cv6 were mightey pissed off, took a corner too fast afterwards and almost lost it lol shit happens i guess...

[lazza44]

nice one! feels good to beat a new car... How much did your tranny service cost and what exactly did they do? I thinks mines on its way out. When its cold its takes awhile to get into gear.

I have only herd of them doing mid 8sec 0-100 times in all test done.
I would advise the CV6 owner to buy a Blower kit

I wouldnt want you advising anyone on anything as yet, You say your car's quick and you leave it in "D"..... It aint quick til it's shifted manually...... and properly.
I'm not having a go at you it's just, all the posts i've seen you make is really strange stuff or you suggesting other people to do shit... To someone who thinks "D" is quick...

No it would be more like the respect thing, And not forcing your opinions down others throats

[Joes_meat]

I thought the CV6 was supercharged?

[Full Spectrum]

Yep it is, But in a mag test some years ago the best they could get from it was about 8.5. But i think 7.6 might be it's best?.

[Pretender]

Here are the figures from NRMA test in Feb 2002 which shows the quickest
0 - 100km/h time I could find in many tests. It is slow.
Any VN or VP in good nic should beat them.

Even the V8 is slow for a manual.


Test Result Acceleration

CV6 Auto

50 - 80km/h 2.8 sec (in drive)

60 - 100km/h 5.3 sec (in drive)

0 - 100km/h 8.4 sec

0 - 400 mtrs 16.1 sec

How many CV6 actually got sold? Last I heard there was only one to ever leave the showroom, that's why they stopped making them.

Anyone know the final number sold?

[Blown V6 Hatch]

16.1 400m LOL! My supercharged v6 is near on 3 seconds faster than that, cant beat power to weight ratio i guess! 15.5 for the 8 that would explain why i beat one by about 5-6 car lenghts at Heathcote raceway, you reckon he wasnt pissed off being beaten by a 78 model car with 6 cylinders!

I think there was more than 1 cv6 sold but there wasnt very many sold.

There is one CV6 in Sunshine North i see everyday it's hothouse green, The only one i have seen on the road.

[greenfoam]

I've seen a yellow one here, man I never new a CV8 was half a second slower over the 1/4 than a stock VN V8 that's almost funny. But then again I think motor mag would have found some more speed than the NRMA

[Full Spectrum]

I read somewhere in a book at how Holden had plenty of engine and Transmission problems with the first Monaro V8's.

[clixanup]

They are slow..... lol That's all i really have to say... CV6's are slow

Maybe they are, but I'd take one any day over a VN...

[AirStrike]

I would say they are humouring you matt..............and you fell for it

Hozy I had a VT SC come up behind me flat stick the other day, I managed to pull away from him in my VP V8 even though he had the jump on me, Later on we passed each other outside the driveway (he was visiting the neighbour) and gave me the thumbs up, I would say the VT SC would be faster than my VN V6 over the 1/4 mile but the VN would probably take it through 1st and most of 2nd gear, the VP could take him anywhere anytime. The Monaro is miles heavier than a VT so I wouldn't expect much from it
