iv dragged a au falcon forte

Iv got a vt commy, stocko, cept for K@N this falcon had a catback exhaust, mine doesnt and it was DEAD even up till 80 when i gave it away, but yeah dead on drag, if i woulda thrown my spare out i woulda beat it that close.

 

[holden#1]

have a look at my thread '1/4 mile times ba ute'

mate, figures indicate that these new fords (AU + UP) would totally blow our standard commies away.

on the street it just doesn't seem to work that way....

I'd say V6 commie off the mark and Ford roll on or higher speeds, don't forget how quick most XR6's stock generally are, in my VX once out of 1st gear it's game over until 2nd gear is reaching our state limit, if a commodore V6 has not got a good enough lead in 1st gear the Ford will reel it in, fords have strong mid range power and particularly torque.

If Yez Are Talkin About Ba Falcons..... A Standard Commy V6 Will Get Slammed Everywhere. Ba's Do 15.5's The Xr6's Are Slower 15.7 Cause Of Same Kw Motor And Heavier

to get official figures, they must have used a freak engine.
i'm yet to drive a standard BA which does a 15.5

 

[Holden_ve]

its known that the holdens from VN upwards will always get blown away by a ford straight 6... when I had my EA ford running gas... dragged off a vs commie dont know what he had under the hood but all i had was 2.5" press bent exhaust and i walked all over him.. its kinda shameful.. but a stock v6 will never beat a stock i6 for KW and Torque... sucks dont it.. now why dont i go trade my VT in for a XR6 Turbo.. mmm blue.. *drool*
