R32 GTST Vs HSV!

[quincy777]

I am wanting for my r32 to get off the boat, but last night was shattered to see a HSV sedan 260kw version totally smash an r32 gtst in a drag.

The r32 was man, had exhaust, could see front mount, and boost gauge. the HSV also manual but looked stock. They both tried as they both skidded on take off and reved the @##4 out of it.

Should this be happening?

Welcome to the world of torque. The Skyline would run him down eventually but don't expect an RB20 to be a world beater.

For all you know he was running a stock turbo as well. 260kw is still a lot, even if it is in a tank.

Education...

Dont under estimate the LS1 motor in those clubbys, there not as slow as one would think. And if you think you would run one down, think again!!

[Squizz]

Running them down is the easy part, it's getting them off the line that's the trick!

Im the opposite!!! But the ones im running are not stock.

I have no problem either way, mind you changing to a GTR certainly helped

its not hard to get traction with a boat on the ground..

but rb20det's are a bit too slow on the pickup..

In the RB25DET i have no problems ripping down HSV's with the 285 badges on the sides. They will always get the head start because of our buddy turbo lag but then the main concentration is to keep traction. To beat a HSV your power has to be above 200Kw otherwise you stand no chance.

hehe, well they did say "Reason why god created turbo lag, was to give V8s a chance"

I used to have a stockish 33 gtst and I used to run close with the newer HSV's, win some-lost some.

with my stock R33 GTR I have destroyed every HSV I have come across so far, including the 300KW GTS.

even from rolling starts I was pulling away from the gts.

Bler. Get use to it. No matter how fast your car is (within reason) there is always someone that has a faster car. Life goes on.

Thanks for stories and comments lol.

Knew r32 was never going to be racing menace but hey just something about the guys in commos where I'd love to be able to beat them in a 15k car compared to 90k or whatever they are.

Sorry didn't see if r32 driver was p plate driver or not - but sounded like he left second gear on the road - it crunched in pretty hard!

rookie or rich i guess.

[franks]

i have trouble pulling taxi's off the line.

turbo lag is a bitch.
