PORT3Rs 5L VQ Statesman

[PORT3R]

For those that know me, I recently sold my VT, and this is the new pride and joy
I don't have massive plans at the moment, just a few smaller things that I want to fix up to make her look a bit more classier. Perhaps down the track I'll look at more serious engine mods.

VicRoads will facilitate exemption permits to be granted by letter, upon application, for the following vehicle types:
1. Hight powered Vehicles with a power to weight ratio of less than 100kW per tonne;
2. Hight powered Vehicles with a power to weight ratio between 100kW and 125kW per tonne and that are considered to be a family-type vehicle rather than a sports-type vehicle.

You work off 125kw/per ton or 3.5L/per ton, therefore with an estimated weight of 1563kg it would work out to:

125x1.563= 195.375kw (max engine output) - Standard output: 165 kW @ 4400 RPM

or

3.5x1.563= 5.4705L (max engine capacity) - Standard capacity: 4.987L

that was a lot of math :clapping:
i think the vq would be a 'family' car.

Cheers for comments guys.

Yeah I've got an exemption for power/weight due to her weighing 1900kg and only putting out 165kW. (125kW/tonne)

I'll get some pictures asap. Sadly, they will be off my phone, as my camera is dead. I bought myself a new DSLR for Christmas though
