300ZX TT Vs. XR6 Turbo

[/QUOTE]
LOL @ bitchiness, its funny that you come into this thread and talk about going around a race track when we aint even talking about those times [/QUOTE]

yes i'm well aware of that but it was raised earlier that an XR6 might flog a Zed in a straight line but around a track the Zed would be superior, and i was just backing it up with this addition

 

ye they do weight a fair bit they are about 1700+kg and the fpvs are around the 1800kg weight. but what you are forgetting is there is a big difference between what your friend agreed to and what has been prooven. a 350rwkw xr6t has been prooven many many times to run low 11's. i have yet to see even a 270-350rwkw zed make those times.

ofcoarse it all comes down to how they have been set up etc, but seriously there is no competition here. they win hands down. just sign up to the www.fordxr6turbo.com and just have a browse. countless of xr6t's with 350rwkw+++ cars making the low to mid 11sec passes. that is why they dont even have an 11sec list its just too common to see them do those numbers. as mentioned your only kool if u run a 9 or 10sec pass

 

Dinosaurs

I'm talking about the rest of the car, other than the fact the xr has a high horspowerer making engine the rest of the car is anchent in looks and function.

 

With the 6 speed ZF transmission???

 

big whoop....

Chad.. its clear you love your mates car too much.. the fact is ANY one can go get an unwanted XR6t and go add the mods just as easy as going to Woolies and picking up your food shopping for the week...

There is no class in owning an xr6t no matter how easy they are to do up... dont see the point in getting something if its easy... easy come.. easy go..

Im sure people like Shifter, rollion, JT and Wizard dont give 2 hoots about every 2nd identical XR6t...

the fact is ... theres always gonna be someone quicker even if its in your own forum.... or what happens when a bloke in a 10sec XR6t lines up a stinking VH regal coupe that can run a 9... its gonna happen one day.

How do u think the guys that pull 11 and arnt in the cool club feel? like they have wasted their 5 grand. plus what ever their xr6 costs...

In the end.... most of us here drive an exotic, timeless sports car and the straight line speed is only one factor... The looks are another and the ability to beat a Porsche through the hills is another..there are many more..

The XR6t is a plain sedan at the end of the day.

Go the 300s

On topic... stock vs stock... a 20 year old clapped out sports car CAN beat a new ford sedan with a snail. Period.

 

yay!

 

xr6t vs 300zx tt

Own both and here is my rundown from using both of them very regularly. Both modded, zed is 253kw and falcon is 290kw 700nm (all figures at wheels) the Falcon pulls away from the zed quite easily after 100, however there is not heaps in it and the zed will dust it to 100kays.

However as the boys have said even with 19" deep dish rims and massive rubber the falcon just doesn't turn heads like the Zed. I would sell the stupid falcon before I got rid of the Zed. Why because one is a classy car and the other is a dressed up taxi. Just my two cents

 

dude your getting into a whole different level of discussion here. for starters i would never swap my zed for an xr6t. people that know me know i am wayyyyyyyyyyyyy to inlove with doing twisty runs,motorkhana etc etc. and you cannot do it in an xr6 aswell as a zed...

no one spoke about class or not. i personally think a zed is alot sexier than a falcon sedan but again i never mentioned anything about how they look.

and about the guys that are running 11s and how they feel not being in the cool club? lolll wtf, they have an 11sec car they are over the moon with that :bash::bash:

your post = EPIC PHAIL :banned:

 

So were you.. the topic was about stock... you mention every xr6t has 350at the bags.. so what there are just as many LS1s and LS2s.. that was off topic..

No thier not... cos they have a long list exposed to them that shows the 10s and 9s club...

At least here we include every one on the list who has a slip or dyno printout. :zlove:

what i said is just my 2c.... and its just the same as yours. My 2c was that there a sedan or taxi with a snail.. your 2c was their easy to do up.. (99% of us already knew that bud) and that your mate has one.. big whoop...

Some one should remind the topic starter that he souldnt drag during his lunch break anyway.. or he will be starting another "i lost my licence thread". He claims dragging to 70... :bash: what a WANKER.

No respect for XR6T... there is not point tryin to make a fat bitch run:bash:

 

I'm not going to argue anymore on the topic, but I just found this quote funny, we zed owners cop shit from everyone else in the Jap import world about "zeds being heavy", and now we have someone else to give the same shit to! lol

-Kirill

 

lol

And not to mention Soarers have now taken over the "Ocean Liner" title that SAU gave us.

 

i never mentioned every xr6t has 350rwkw. and i dont get what your point about just as many ls1/ls2's having those figures when they do not compare with the xr6t times

dude stop talking shit. i personally know at least 10 xr6t owners that run awsome times and all are VERY VERY happy with what they are pulling. none of which have ever been upset about what they have. you need to understand that to run a 10sec run it takes around or atleast the 400rwkw mark which costs money. all of the guys i know that run 11's or 12's are more than happy with their times.

no shit we show everyones times, that is because there isnt countless people doing 12 or 11sec passes here :bash:

by referring to my best mate i am showing you i am talking from experience. so it doesnt sound like oh no this guy told me or that guy said :bash:

guess what buddy that FAT BITCH FKN RUNS

 

Nuff Said.

nuff said the mods will only trim the fat any way... oh wait a min they need to goto the vic xr6t club for that.

all cool bro.

 

i ran a 12.9 with 270RWKW @118MPH.....

so i'd have to disagree :biggrin:

 

yeah

yeah

 

jetzx yes it will ,,,,,,,

 

Lets talk about F6 TYPHOON V T/T 300ZX ,lol,maybe not ey Alex

 

my bad 12.9 @ 200RWKW @ 112MPH

.....still think it would be easy to crack 120MPH with 270 at the wheels...

 

Jeez isn't it fun arguing about crap!!!

Firstly, if it didn't happen on a recetrack, it wasn't a race. Think that would apply to lunch break runs to 70k.

Secondly, neither a stock Z nor a stock XR6T could be guaranteed a win in any circumstance - drag, circuit etc. Would get down to driver skills and so on and so on. However, a typical stock TT Z was good for a 14 flat as tested by magazines of the day, and a typical stock BF XR6T was good for a 14.2, an FG XR6T 13.5 tested the same way. That's the drag strip taken care of - it would be a close race, but some Zeds would beat some Fords, and some Fords would beat some Zeds.

As for circuit, we have a good idea what times Zeds are good for at circuits we have been to. I found it very difficult to find XR6T track day times on the Natsoft website; the best I could come up with was for an F6 at Winton - cutting 1:46's which is faster than recent TT zed times there. But an F6 has better brakes and more ooomph than an XR6T ... perhaps this lack of times points to the fact that most XR6T owners take their motorsports in straight line doses only? Perhaps a win to the Z by default?

Chad, in the right event, even an NA Magna can take it up to TT zed, wouldn't you agree?

Another comment on the XR6T and the dinosaur reference. Ford have lifted their act, and those blinkered people continually referring to XR6/8/6Ts as dinosaurs should have a rethink. No, they are not a state-of-the-art GT sports car - but they are a better car than they used to be. Both the in-line 6, in all its forms, and the V8 as found in XR8s and FPVs are DOHC 4 valve per cylinder motors - just like the Z32 is. The six has VVT on both inlet and exhaust cams. The 6 speed ZF auto is a great transmission to use. Realise that they are 4 door passenger cars weighing close to 1800kg and take that ino account in your discussions.

I own a BF XR6 (NA) with the ZF, and a manual TT Z. They both have their places, and both are good cars in different ways.

 

120mph is pretty big . check out our drag list, it will show you 120mph is not that easy to get

HAHA i think you just armed alex with a knife

mikey you are correct. i wasnt comparing them in anything other than drag racing. others have so your info is relevant for them. and yes offcoarse an na magna could take on a ttzed in the right event. you prooved it to us at deca and i think that was the first time i had ever drooled over a magna :zlove::zlove::zlove:
