Hicks Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Just been out for a bit of a drive earlier and got caught up in a drag against a hsv vx 255 clubsport and another hsv, older one with 185i on the back, which sounded pretty worked. But im glad to say I absolutely pissed all over em'. Specially the 255. The more my speed increased the more I left them, arn't 8's supposed to have top end speed. Off the lights against the 255 was almost laughable. Anyways, thought i'd share it with ya. Nothin like blowing away a V8.

PSIKO Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 there were HEAPS of v8's out today - a vu ute and vn v8 going opposite way from me, a 66 'stang going with me but not wanting to play, and another vn v8 with me who did but the slow people who sit in the right lane stopped anything major happening 255's when tuned back to norm with exhaust derestricted kick some serious s***, but left normal, meh who won out of you and boostzor yesterday btw hicks?

Hicks Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 Pretty close. I'll give him another go when the s-afc is re tuned. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6838-doin-us-proud/#findComment-101077 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hicks Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 GO THE JAP CARS. This is off a holden site: I have to say that the monaro is one of the better looking holdens, but that performance is average i have had a ride in the cv8 and also in the hsv gts coupe and just last night got blown off by many a jap cars an sufers in me mates vt ss especially this one little evo 6. the gtr isnt in the same class as the munro because it is a twin turbo all wheel drive six it cuts 0-100 in mid 4.4s 0-400 12.8 the only holden that can do that is HRT 427. Unfotunatly we aussies just cant compete with the nippon stuff especially those skylines and supra's with 1000+ bhp. never seen anything more than 600 bhp out of a holden v8 except supercars. but if there is send some info i would love too see a real aussie beast instead of the regular crud.

Hicks Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 No. You can ask boostzor, you couldn't get a closer drag. But from the start i didn't know we were draggin, so I only put my foot down in second. I think I would have had the faster start from the lights.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Its the truth....................it is!! Sure Hicks we believe you. So boostzor must have a slow car too if he couldn't beat you? If you got rid of those ROH 18" rims, and got some light weight jap rims then you'd have probably won. Any time you line up against a jap car you should be prepared to hold the angry pedal to the floor. I'll race you once you have your SAFC re-tuned, must have been the reason you didn't win. (Just having fun with you Hicks.) See'ya :burnout: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6838-doin-us-proud/#findComment-101240 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gradenko Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Originally posted by Hicks Its the truth....................it is!! I'll vouch for ya, I was there right behind both of them. It wasn't a standing start drag though, rolling start from about 30-40ks. Both of them took it easy off the line, trying to be polite I think, but one thing led to another and before you knew it, it was on. I was right behind Hicks when they went, but I couldn't fully floor it cause he was holding me up Anyhow, with all the negative vibes coming from Hicks and co towards hsv's, I've pretty much decided to work dads soon-to-be-ordered R8 to run at least mid 13s. Can't have him being embarrased should one of you guys race him, can we?

Gav Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 I saw a classic sticker some months ago in the same colours/design as the original HSV: " HSV - I Just ATE one" . Dunno where you get 'em but might get some made up. Anyone want some?

Hey Summoner did i not see on your website you draggin a R30 skyline which seemed to be beating you? Gave a newish GTS a run on Saturday night just off Belmont Park exit just after Graham Farmer Freeway... i beat him in 1st he beat me in 2nd (I had way to much wheelspin!) we were EXACTLY neck and neck in 3rd then Mr Hyundai 4wd decided to do 60kmh in 90 zone in my right hand lane so i had to slow down! not sure if GTS was worked but it had a nice loud exhaust! It was the closest drag i have ever had! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6838-doin-us-proud/#findComment-101462 Share on other sites More sharing options...
summoner Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 mates old car, we're pretty much dead even rolling run. Its had more work done than most cars on here hence i dont mind, but when i c near stockers harping on about killing holdens etc i get a bit sus That R30's got an RB20DET, VG30 turbo, custom truck core cooler, bit of boost etc. we have the best runs he's sold it now Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6838-doin-us-proud/#findComment-101464 Share on other sites More sharing options...

summoner Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 very nice good luck with times I'm always happy to see other cars run quick dont get me wrong.. and i know hsv's arent lightning quick. But you will udnerstand my paranoia when most cars here run in the low 14 bracket etc. Hopefully when utes on road i can play with yas some time.. but.. its going on the back burner for my project car, which when its finished should hopefully give you guys a good run hehe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6838-doin-us-proud/#findComment-101471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSIKO Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 I was under the assumption that skylines, as stock, would beat a stock commy anyway??? commy hunting isn't a hassle, they aren't the fastest cars on the roads, I don't see why you get sus when they say they beat them also vg30, intercooler etc aren't exactly big mods when you compare it, I know it'll go fast, but hell, I've got those things sitting in my garage at the moment also rolling is diff, it's not a fair drag for both since one may have the advantage of launches whereas the other may have better high end power 1/4 is the only way to determine it adam - ask to go into the 8's lane for a cuople of runs - they let you Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6838-doin-us-proud/#findComment-101482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
25GTT Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 How did the ute go in the end? Any insurance hassles at all or did it all go pretty sweet? Are we allowed to have a hint of what might be in store from the summoner garage?

summoner Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 in an old skyline with very little weight(R31) those mods make a big diff, esp since its had an engine swap. Try racing some modded gen3's, stock for stock a gen3 exec will keep up with a stock r33 gts-t(no pod/exhaust like 99% of imports). i dont mind sharing my plans, this afternoon i'm picking up an LH SL/R rolling shell. It will be a retrotech project(still with pushrods tho hehe). 1st thing install for it tho is a strip down and a respray which will take a while to save up for haha.. so dunno give it year or 2 and mite see something happening with it Utes getting fixed as we speak, apparently back on road 13th but they said not to hold em to that Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6838-doin-us-proud/#findComment-101500 Share on other sites More sharing options...
