I know its a crapy kinda question but just wondering what people OP's would be.

My GTR has 2860r's, 260 Tomei cams, all supporting mods (rad,intake pods,700cc sards etc etc) Apexi PFC D-Jettro and runs about 430RWHP on dyno.

The VZ ss ute is stock. My bro thinks it will thrash it to bits. I mean I have come up against WR craps and common whores but no exp against utes.

Just wondering if anyone has ever had a line up next to one of these and how they went or how my car would perform against one.

I think the VZ SS ute specs are : a 6.0 V8Gen IV, 1600.. Kgs and around 250Kw ....

anyways.... Like to hear some thoughts

You think it will be easy to take out... Like not a 6000rpm launch or somthing right...?

i rekon you can jus roll it out. but then again whats the point lol mite as well make it a slaughtering and go for the launch.

but yes this is going to be done on a drag strip right?

I have a similar combo and the same RWHP and I can tell you with some degree of certainty that if you have even a modicum of talent the ute will be pwned. You've got AWD, more WHP, more weight over the rear wheels and a better diff ratio. The ute might be chipped but even if it is you'll have him cold off the lights, better 60 footers, he'll do some catching at the 660 mark but I proclaim it another victory for a well sorted Godzilla over the taxi. Make sure you drop your rear tyre pressures to ensure super happy drag time.

Don't mean to be rude but that was a pretty dumb question haha

I've raced one of those ute's with a full car load extra 300 kilo's with less pwr than u and blown it by 10 car lengths. Ur car weighs less n has more pwr so how could u lose?

Put a good bet on the outcome so you have some extra coin to play with your car.Is like the Eagles playing Balga primary school football team.

ROFL nice call

But yes, as mentioned, your car is lighter and has more power.. you're probably toting almost double his power at the wheels (you're running roughly 320ish kW@wheels and the stock gen3 with 250kW @ the engine probably putting down maybe 180rwkW on a good day.. correct me if I'm wrong).

The difference lies in that he has an abundance of low down torque but only two poor tyres to feed the power to the ground. You have lag, but also have 4wd to compensate for when the power does come on. Either way, he might get you off the line if you bog down but I'm sure it wouldn't take long at all to pass him like he's standing still :miner:

no chance dude :miner: ,godzilla would eat the ute for breakfast mate,different if it was a ls1 ute with some mods,but even then the gtr would win, with 430hp at the wheels,that should be good enough for mid to low 11s at least.

    • The engine stuff is Greg Autism to the Max. I contacted Tony Mamo previously from AFR who went off to make his own company to further refine AFR heads. He is a wizard in US LS world. Pretty much the best person on earth who will sell you things he's done weird wizard magic to. The cam spec is not too different. I have a 232/234 .600/603 lift, 114LSA cam currently. The new one is 227/233 .638 .634. The 1.8 ratio roller rockers will effectively push this cam into the ~.670 range. These also get Mamo'ified to be drilled out and tapped to use a 10mm bolt over an 8mm for better stability. This is what lead to the cam being specced. The plan is to run it to 6800. (6600 currently). The Johnson lifters are to maintain proper lift at heavy use which is something the LS7's supposedly fail at and lose a bit of pressure, robbing you of lift at higher RPM. Hollow stem valves for better, well everything, Valve train control. I dunno. Hollow is better. The valves are also not on a standard valve angle. Compression ratio is going from 10.6 to 11.3. The cam is smaller, but also not really... The cam was specced when I generated a chart where I counted the frames of a lap video I had and noted how much of the time in % I spent at what RPM while on track at Sandown. The current cam/heads are a bit mismatched, the standard LS1 heads are the restriction to power, which is why everyone CNC's them to get a pretty solid improvement. Most of the difference between LS1->LS2->LS3 is really just better stock heads. The current cam is falling over about 600rpm earlier than it 'should' given the rest of my current setup. CNC'ing heads closes the gap with regards to heads. Aftermarket heads eliminate the gap and go further. The MMS heads go even further than that, and the heads I have in the box could quite easily be bolted to a 7.0 427ci or 454 and not be any restriction at all. Tony Mamo previously worked with AFR, designed new heads from scratch then eventually founded his own business. There he takes the AFR items and performs further wizardry, CNC'ing them and then manually porting the result. He also ports the FAST102 composite manifold: Before and after There's also an improved racing crank scraper and windage tray. Helps to keep oil in the pan. Supposedly gains 2% power. Tony also ports Melling oil pumps, so you get more oil pressure down low at idle, and the same as what you want up top thanks to a suitable relief spring. There's also the timing chain kit with a Torrington bearing to make sure the cam doesn't have any thrust. Yes I'll post a before and after when it all eventually goes together. It'll probably make 2kw more than a setup that would be $15,000 cheaper :p
    • Because the cars wheels are on blocks, you slide under the car.   Pretty much all the bolts you touched should have been put in, but not fully torque up.   Back them off a turn or two, and then tighten them up from under the car with the wheels sitting on the blocks holding car up in the air.
    • Yes. Imagine you have the car on the ground, and you mine away all the ground under and around it, except for the area directly under each individual wheel. That's exactly how it'd look, except the ground will be what ever you make the bit under each wheel from
    • Yes, if you set the "height" right so that it's basically where it would be when sitting on the wheel. It's actually exactly how I tighten bolts that need to be done that way. However....urethane bushes do NOT need to be done that way. The bush slides on both the inner and outer. It's only rubber bushes that are bonded to the outer that need to be clamped to the crush tube in the "home" position. And my car is so full of sphericals now that I have very few that I need to do properly and I sometimes forget and have to go back and fix it afterwards!
