hey everyone, , i got a Vl commodore with reco auto and full exhasut system with X/ers. its got a new gearbox and in immacualate condition, i got a mate with a nissan pulsar, N14 Q(2LTR) 1991, 105kw atw factory standard. who do u think will win in a drag? ive heard the pulsar will win becuse of its weight to power. but i jus wanna make sure hes right. tell me what you think cheers
105 kw at the wheels? or at the fly wheel? because if he has it at the wheels he will kill you but if its flywheel you could possibly have a chance, lets face it vls arnt the quickest Na car around and its only the turbos that give the vl its rep
if the pulsar is a manual and ur vl is a auto it will kill u most likely depending how good the driver is they maybe small but they do have a bit of power
the pulsar will give u a good run till it changes into 2nd, then vl will boot past cos it doenst need 2 shift till 80
A 2 ltr meaning sr20 engine will munch your 3ltr rb30 ive seen it done before and the vl kept up for about 20meters then he was gone. This vl was immac to with bout 90000kms so yea.
yeah i'd be backing the Pulsar. VL's are fairly slow but in my experience its off line that it would get killed. 60+ you would take him I reckon.
Pulsar I'd say. N/A VLs aren't that bad. Just got to get it through the assclowns, that drive clapped N/A Autos that try to drag XR6Ts,WRXs,Skylines etc that they're NOT!!! the fastest cars around and stop giving other N/A drivers a bad name. Note: That wasn't directed at you Sabby.
There aint alot of cars left to drag then. The VL N/A auto is in the 10's for 0-100, which since the late 80's, is a rather slow 0-100 time. Unless you are dragging older cars of course.
yer i no wat ya mean mate. i hear it alot, this was a dispute between me n my mate, i think hes got 105kw at flywheel. it is true that the vl's have a kindov slow pick up, but i noticed that it picks up speed once past 50 kms. turboes arnt really my style. i like the stocky. nice and original. thank guys for the replys, keeep em comming. also this was posted on a pulsar thread and everyone there sed his car will kick mine, i dont care, THE VL LOOKS BETTER
Why don't you just line 'em up and see? I too reckon the Pulsar will eat you, depending on how good a driver he is. My mate once beat a Magna (200? model 3.0L?) in his g/f's Pulsar Q with me in the passenger seat. Mind you, he was a gun at flat changing - quickest gear changes I've ever seen!
I reckon if you advance the dizzy and stick some good fuel in it and a CAI of some description you can knock almost a second out of your 0-100 time and give him a good run!: )
yep pulsar definately hey, afraid to say.... give it a go for fun anyway would be good to see u win. :thumbsup:
VL auto is around 11 sec to 100km/h stock, just extractors will knock nearly a second off that (they like to breathe), putting the VL at 10.0 seconds. If the Pulsar is a manual you still have a two second shortfall. If it is an Auto you only have a 0.7 shortfall so it may come down to the comparative condition of the motors plus launching skills.
