I just don't see how it is possible to get excited about souped up family cars, I just see a car for going shopping in and picking up the kids from school.
Now I CAN get excited about these.

10 second class sux for a streeter trust me.
You will need a welded in steel cage, scatter shield, tailshaft loop etc all making the car illegal on the road. And who wants to be buying bodgey rego slips?
Been there done that...

If I was you I'd detune it and try to run consistanrt low 11's.
Compete in super street under ANDRA events, and street 4WD under OZMOD events.
this is exactly what i am doing now with my C34 Stagea. And it is DYO bracket, so there is no advantage to quicker cars.

Whats your point?

I know a block that has a BA XR6T (street legal) that ran 10.22 at 136mph that hasn't had all that much spent on it.

Plus there are a number of other XR6T's that run high 11's to low 12's that have had 5-7K spent on them.

Well girls are most definitely allowed to drive them but they would need big kahunas

they look like a girls car

 

[vrhq08]

Yeah i'm aware of this & that is why i don't intend to get into drag racing. I'm hoping to a 10 on my first run so i don't need a andra licence(if i go under 11.99)

The car is set up for supersprints,time attack,hillclimbs..etc. It just happens to go ok in a straight line too!

Nah man, didnt mean to come off offensive...
My point was just that the new XR6T are damn good bang for buck. Not as nice in the corners as your sti would be but still great for straight line speed [also why do most people only worry about straight-line speed now adays!!!!!!]

Nice car Geck82

Aston Martin DB9

 

[snake_lover]

All good mate,i'm not trying to brag either!

i agree, the XR6T's are a good car & respond very well to quite minor mods.

I have seen a turbo ford territory run consistant 11's at WSID, enough to dissapoint a 360 ferrari driver :lol: Holden & ford both have come a long way over the last 8 years. It's good to see them taking advantage of current technology.

Wait till Ford brings out the orbital engine or as they now call it the OX2 engine.
Was similar to a rotary engine originally untill Ford bought it many many years ago and redesigned it.

Will be a rotarised 8 cylinder with multiple hundred naturally aspirated horsepower, and easily turboed/supercharged etc.

Holden and day of the week
