VZ Auto is still the 1988 4 speed hardned up to handle the power, at a time when ford where dropping 6 speed auto s in theirs so go the manual.
Errrrrrgggghhh my brain hurts after this. You want to be faster then your mate so bad that your going to buy a whole new car, for 15secs of glory? Blokes are getting low 14/mid 13's with FG n/a's, best i've seen for a VZ is a 14.8 by impulsive. There be your answer.
Saw a VE R8 today with a "557 Supercharged" badged on the back of it, looked mental....go get one of those lol, custom as hell.
You mean like the alloytec ECU applying more timing and being able to advance cam timing by the use of the knock sensor to take advantage of higher octane fuel? LOL Ford advertising gimmicks are working well.
If it's a selling point why not point it out. Do Holden have exact figures for the effect on using better fuel? Or just the normal 'ERRRMmMMmmmmmY Gawd itzzz beterz'
It isnt really a selling point as most cars are capable of doing it these days. Holden probably though its not worth mentioning if its the same as Fords 7kw, you can gain more than that going from a hot dry day to a cold humid night simply from denser air. Holden has more cams, must be better!
It's actually a 13kw and 29Nm difference going to 98, I would say an almost extra 30Nm of torque isn't something to sneeze at.
I misread the quote you posted, still 30nm is more than the recommended torque for an alloytec oil filter housing lol (25nm) In other words, it aint much. Still I think a lot of morons torque it to 300nm when I need a metre long breaker bar to remove them.
Is this tread STILL going??? Bloody hell. Fanboy's vs fanboy's, when are people going to learn to buy what THEY want, not what majority tell them???
