i'd say 80 - 90% of them are stock that you see on the roads..

most people wouldn't void a warranty on a new car that's already pretty quick as it is..

Point taken, however the guys who are actually keen on dragging are more than likely to be the ones who have the edit. There mentality is that the edit is not easy for the dealers to detect as when something breaks all they do is return the car to the stock tune. Just go to XR6Turbo forum and they have heaps of discussion on this issue.

XR6T. Without a shadow of a doubt. Sucks I know, but we have to admit. Australian car companys are catching up with JAP technology, well maybe not so much catching up. But are putting they're balls on the line to forget about everything they thought they knew about making cars and adopt tried and proven wasys of making peformance cars.

You have to consider the age difference between these two cars. There's at least 6 years difference between production dates.

Fair enough an R33 has an almost bulletproof Driveline and an RB25 just won't die! But it does lack a 2004/5 build date, and that has to account for something.

That and also - middle aged slightly balding men hate to be shown up by 20-something year old guys in a car that's 10 years old..

it's an interesting one though..

be interested to know how many are modified..

That guy Cubes is referring to has the fastest XR6T in Australia. 10.24s down the 1/4 mile.

Hmm i'd like to see that and the Diablo Eater Supra go at it.

Diablo Eater reaches 60ft in 1.63seconds, 1/4 in 10.91seconds on 274/40 Nittos. Impressive numbers, would be amazing to watch.

( Refering to HPI Issue 46 =] )

Oh and while im here, can i change something? How about who would win in R33 GTR and XR6T? HMMM? =D

[GTS_300_Coupe]

Interesting... hmm who would win in a drag race?

R33 GT-R vs FPV F6 TYPHOON

I have a stock R33 and my bf had a stock XR6T...both manual...his car was faster.

And now he's just got a FPV GT, I have NO chance in hell of beating him lol

I put my money on the GTR for sure. Most 1/4 mile times published for the F6 so far are around the 14s mark.

XR6 turbo is quicker over the quarter and 0-100 than the TYPHOON and the GT from all the figures ive seen. must be because of its weight advantage XR6T 13.9 GT 14.2 TYPHOON 14. 33 GTR would flog all these cars with low 13's over the quarter in stock form.

[Vuster]

Apparently with the latest tests on these Fords, the XR6T has been put in it's place by the F6 and GT. F6 has the updated tune ever since the clutch fix. Some F6 guys on the XR6turbo forum have achieved the 13's now.

he can drive my car if he wants to go fast haha :lol:

nah, he just loves V8's....he loved the XR6T but was so happy to get back into a V8, especially a GT. I just have to get used to this tiptronic thing!! Never driven one before!!

Fair enough I must say though I found it interesting that in early tests in both wheels and motor the XR6T times were faster than its more powerful, more expensive brothers. Even the SS with 13.9 quicker than the GT the ford guys would have loved that. I like HSV's better anyway they are still at least a couple of 10th's quicker than anything ford has come out with lately. Falcons are nice but just to heavy.

[Are_thirty_two]

I beat an xr6 turbo in my r32 gts t easily. What do you guys say about that?

Oh and the limits to modifying an xr6 is so tight :lol:

[Mid_Nite_R33]

All i can say that my stock r33 gtst with a catback kept up with an xr6t ute during a rolling race, from 3 to the end of 4th gear.

I've also found the magazines to be very inconsistent. That's why I try not to take them as scripture. Makes good reading to a lot of people I guess.

i am just curious as to why the high performance fordsd are always heavier than the high performance holdens? Fords are around 100-150kg heavier right...

If ford could drop that weight somehow i wonder how their 0-100 acceleration times and 0-400m times would read...

Its because Ford have bigger shells, more equipment, etc plus their engines still use iron cast blocks.
