It's electronic throttle lag Holden suffers from, across the range... Since the VZ when Holden went to electronic throttle it's been very noticeable. They've reduced it a lot since the VZ but it's still not great.
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
spoken like a true bullshit artist mate read the post properly the large v8 has the turbo off the line every single time the I6T comes into its own further down the line and storms home.Spoken like someone who has absolutely no experience in the 4.0 I6T. The full 533Nm of torque is available from 1800rpm or so, right through to just past 4000rpm. There is no lag!
And spoken by someone who only THINKS they understand the industry. Any Holden Turbo sales will DEFINITELY eat into V8 sales. People who don't want performance aren't going to buy a Turbo so there's not really much of a new market to capture. The turbo offers people who like performance a more efficient option than the Holden V8. If it didn't I wouldn't have a 4.0 I6T, I'd have a Holden V8.

not to even bring in to account the standard rubber on the FPV V HSV.
dont get you knickers in a twist there is absolutly no such thing as zero turbo lag its physicaly impossable the enginge has to burn fuel to produce gass that gass has to the travel to a turbo wheel the gas then hits the wheel and compresses to the point where it starts to make the wheel turn causing the compressor wheel to turn creating friction in the intake air which then compresses as the wheel speeds up this is then forced in to the engine incressing the combustion pressure and starts all over again. to make this lag free is impossible.
the I6T simply compensates by having a large displacment that produces a good amount of torque whilst this is happening so lage is non apparent. the lag on theses engins is not very much as they have a relativly small wheel in the turbo and a lot of gas flowing to it. a TT V6 would be so vastly different you could not compair them
standard 245R18 tyres?
im sorry i didndt realise you had launch control ready to go all the time must be a bitch to drive like that in real world. since when have they fitted launch control to XR's anyway
and as usual you act like a ignorant child as to the actual argument at hand never has this been a v8 V turbo the whole point is that they are different beast to drive and a TTV6 is in no way comparable to the I6T or holden V8.
And im still to be impressed by your 4L turbo that has comparable preormance to the 2.5's nissan was playing with years ago.yes its a great engine with a lot of potential but there is nothing special or talented im making a 4L turbo go like F**K its not fancy or brilliant technology. no one has argued if it is a better preformance car or not but they are no v8 will never drive or behave like one.
and in the real world cubes will beat turbo untill turbo kicks in lets get the focus of you and your love of self indulgent one upmanship you are not the only turbo owner out there and i coldnt give a **** what wet dreams you have about burning of the lights with you launch control.
if you cant engage in a technical discussion around the principles then dont bother we have all heard you spruking your XR and we still dont care.
when we start a thread called my cars better than CSP's XR then you call roll out your crap but were not playing that game today.
so either start a thred to argue weather I6T or V8 is better and stop hijacking every second thread with your crap or just get off your mines better than yours soap box and shut up
but a TTV6 as stated before wont be anything like a I6T or a V8 if this is ignorance on the ford product then please explain how.
sorry karlos but you simply did not read the post as it was written and you got you back up in deffence of a car that was not actualy being critacised.
