Ride: VT Calais v6
What can i do guys?
sell it and get a 6l manual
charge it and shift kit, should see you pretty quick.
when you come out to kmart next time speak with daron, he had a charged vt and could keep up with a 6lt
Chev badges are an instant fail
if you cant join em, beat em.... 6.2
i dont think there were any 6lt manuals out last night, think they were all autos mate. you gotta try going from a LS1 manual to a half a million k old 20+ year old ute, 3 speed column auto with 3 ton of accessories lol. you dont know what slow is![]()
Buy a 6Ltr and charge that. Then you win.
nathans VY Calais - 'Calais 2.0' | VT Equipe | VS Calais **SOLD!**
upgrade time for sure mate
second that. you could go down the route of supercharger,exhaust,cam etc but theres no point if you wanta keep up with an 8 & not have an empty wallet. if you just wanta make it a bit quicker & have a cruiser fine,but to keep up with anything else forget it would be like trying to chase the pot of gold at the end of the rainbowjust sell your car,get another & be done with it. you'll end up spending less money doing this than trying to upgrade you 6.
in saying in all this i have seen some amazing things in my time. the funniest & most impressive was a mini cooper s beat the pants of a vh brock in a backstreet drag race(in empty industrial area in middle of nowhere) many years ago. a gtr xu1 going uphill in 3rd gear clocking the 180km/h mark,the list goes on but big dollars would have spent to get any of these vehicles to perform like this.
Or a stock standard RX4 on the M4 at Penrith over 138 mph, (222kph) also years ago when it had 32000miles on it. As new, not even properly run in. My bad. Not watching speedo until the fool in the HZ Holden pushing me gave up
Get credit card...
Buy a HSV GTS(325)...
And... Then shove this into the engine bay...

those wankel engines are good bang for you buck. i remember at tafe we had a pretty cool instructor. he allowed to set up an old rotary engine on a stand & run it at full tit to see what happens. damn thing went up to 10000rpm & just stayed there. we left it a few hours then came back & the thing was still going at full tit. damn bulletproof engine in my opinion
A pessimist is a man who thinks all woman are bad. An optimist is a man who hopes they are
fi 6 cyl with a heap of money thrown at it will be lucky to outrun a stock or mild LS motor so like others have said, attach your 6 banger to the front of a boat where it belongs and get a good base to begin with.
