    Default VZ SV6 cant skid

    Mate have a VZ SV6 auto and cant seem to get it to skid at all, whats the problem? Have tried it in A/s without traction control and still nothing. Its a Dec '05 model so is fitted with an LSD.

    It struggles to even spin the wheels, forget making smoke.

    WHATS THE PROBLEM.

    The problem with the VZ alloytech's is that they have nifty ECU programming with Torque Management. Basically it does not allow full torque to be utilized until the revs hit about 3k rpm. If you put it in neutral and stomp on the GO pedal, you'll notice it only rev's to 2,5k RPM's , same if you have your foot on brake and in D or 1st, same thing. The only way to remove this is to get a VCM suite tune. This removes the torque markers allowing all torque to be utilized at lower rev's and also increases rwhp by anywhere between 20-30rwhp depending on your model of car. Hope that helps some

    One of the reasons anyway
    Bad back seats
    4wd rear suspension
    Rear tray thats to small
    Bad fuel economy
    Bad turning circle
    They should have left the dual cabs to the thai's
    Holden has always had great looking utes and the Crewman let them down

    Yeah, SV6's do nuts quite happily. Just yeah, without the torque management removed they don't just smoke up on the spot (unless its wet or you have oil on the floor or both...? nah ) But yeah, what rooster said, loop it.

    correction the auto sv6 doesn't smoke on the spot. my 6 speed dial up 6000rpm let the clutch up pulls about 3 car lenghts of 2 thick black lines. but yeah cause mine isn't tuned if i just take off normally then suddenly floor it will just chirp the rears then get going bloody throttle management.

    Can i please buy the rights to the technology you used to determine that i was speeding, as this will make me a very rich man. Also the road is closed lol.

    After posting a video of you doing a skid out the front of homes when you clearly has no control over the car (in the eyes of the law) i am suprised that you take a stab at my car driving down the road, when i engaged 2nd gear for about 5 seconds. Ever been in a vt, they are slow arent they.

    according to your other video, u can do 0-100 in just over 7 seconds. In that video above your accelerating hard for over 10 seconds. In a suburban street the limit is usually 50, i would be surprised if you didn't go close to double the speed limit or more. Also, if the road was closed, why are you driving in it?
