blowing away a vs on a budget, iz it possible??

[Vision Zetec]

change of subject sort of, would a, EB/ED 4.0L, K&N POD Filter, pacemaker 4499's, high flow 2.5 inch cat and redback exhaust, 4 speed auto... beat a stock VS??

yes it would, it may be a bit even on takeoff but after that you will go past him or pull away if you got the jump on him

[deankdx]

if you can afford even an EB XR6 it will DESTROY a commode the one i sold a few years ago had nearly 400,000km and i reckon it would go close to my recently broken LEXUS quadcam V8 XF to 100km/h,
this fred is old but i still got a larf reeding threw it.LOL

the only problem with the 4 speed autos is 1st is F***ed up but with all those mods the pick up in 2nd should still beat him.

sweet as

coz weve done a total conversion to my ea, its now identical to a EBII... ill have to run him now

[Vision Zetec]

hmm the 2.77 diff would mean more chance of getting blown of the line by a VS, are you going to but a 3.27 or 3.45 in it?

[Sprint_ED]

my ea fairmont ghia with a manual, extractors and exhaust and wade cam and 3.23 gears left vs's for dead not to mention eating vn ss's outt first n second,

[XRated]

With an auto and 2.77 diff I personally don't like your chances. I'd be interested to know the outcome though I can see him getting a VERY good jump (couple of car lengths) and you'd only gradually reel him in after several hundred metres.

whats it have in it, if it's a manual with a 4.0 mpfi then the commo has no hope, with an auto it's up to your skills.

good luck

If your working take your 2grand into the bank use it as a deposit ,get a loan 4 say 8grand ,buy a car for 8or9grand ,you would get a very nice ef xr6/8 for $9000, go blow his doors of with it then pay it of as quick as you can and aslong as your not out pis*ing your pay packet away you will be setting yourself up nicely.

Well it seems you found the answer to the question - you just bought the VS! :.

[klawsterfobik]

or you could still buy a cortina with a 250 in it.. or even better a 2v 250

Now where did i see one of those for sale the other day... oh, on my front lawn! The VS will still flog it, but atleast you wont be driving a commodore! whoops too late.

[WIKIDSTIX]

damn u guys hahahah

[dogbreath_48]

Yeah this guys commo sounds like a complete POS, ANYTHING but another commo should whoop it

i see alot of people sayin my mates stock vs beat a modfied ea while others are sayin my stock ea beat a modyfied vs
all engines are different..u can't say that u'll beat this or that from a peice of paper or even going on wat mods u have...ie the stock vs may have a killer engine it it while the modyfied ea has a dud engine...vise versa...

EA manual should have the auto vs for sure. Maybe just get one for like under $1500 and change the diff ratio and thats instant off the line pick up. if your luckier you may even find an EB which is more power.

i wonder how a stock VL manual would go against the VS? My mate had a worked one and it blows them away off the mark but only manages to win by a car length in rolling start. You can pick one of them up for under $2000. Basicaly any large6/8cyl motor with a manual and efi thats under 20 years old should beat it with the right driving
