CAMS290 · 01-07-2006, 05:04 PM

There isnt any really quick sedans to my knowledge, i dont know of 1 that has run under a 12.

ratter · 01-07-2006, 05:15 PM

I beleive there was a blue GT Sedan that ran 12.49 last night at calder, somebody could correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that it would the quickest GT at the momment.

I also beleive the GT utes are quicker though :Up_to_som

Boss 290 · 01-07-2006, 07:38 PM

that cant be the fastest? surely there must be someone out there who has worked it to the max? anyway wouldnt the sedan be faster weighing less and having more traction at the wheels i believe?

Fastest 290 was Rods Pursuit 131mph. 11.5
although not a sedan
GT Sedan would be CAPTAIN MARV I think it was 120mph.
both cars are TT's. 12.1.

ratter · 02-07-2006, 11:24 AM

Although Chris's is an XR8, not a GT he has gone the quickest so far with an 11.2

My pursuit is close to a GT, just with 2 doors and a little more weight, My car has gone 11.76 and is unopened and naturally aspirated.

There is a forums list of drag racing acheivements http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...3&page=3&pp=30

But is only shows forums members and there possibly may be other cars out there that are quicker.

Spot on ratter I was there at Calder and he was up against my mates VL turbo who felt his wroth If it's the same car he had no rear wing and white stripes!
there was a stock looking Silver Ba xr6t that run 11.2 consistently also and a heap of holden utes on Friday night!

Boss 290 · 03-07-2006, 11:05 AM

these utes that are doin 11 sec passes what kind of power have they got at the wheels?

**Chris** · 03-07-2006, 11:15 AM

Mine had 280, the red one had more.

Boss 290 · 03-07-2006, 01:16 PM

what kind of power gain would make a ba gt do low 11's?. do u think its even possible to keep it street legal and have that kind of power or do u think it may even be too heavy too reach those kind of times?

Twin Turbo both daily drivers: 1st one is Captmarv's done by the HPF.

the Pursuit finished with 427 rwkw in a stock Boss with APS TT at 131mph, not having a hi stall hurt the ET big time. Pics can be viewed at airpowersytems website.

Chris has had a few setups running a 11 seconds, the Capa blower setup was a daily driver.

I don't think to many modded car's would be noise or emission legal, but who really care's.

The driveline is the let down in sedans. You can make all the power in the world but if you can't get it to the ground without breaking anything..........

ratter · 03-07-2006, 06:39 PM

When my car ran 11.76 we removed a little weight (seats and tailgate),removed the exhaust, and fitted light weight wheels.The car when fitted back with these items was used everyday for transport and was driven 400 klm round trip to go racing at heathcote a few weeks earlier.

I'm still driving around with the same tune in it as when it ran 11's I've only removed the convertor.

Yes it would be possible for a GT to run 11's and be driven everyday, but as mentioned earlier, you need to get CV's that will last.

gtfpv · 03-07-2006, 06:41 PM

its a reasonable question your 1st post . its a real shame that the fastes f6, xr6t, xr8, are all faster than the gt.

Boss 290 · 03-07-2006, 10:22 PM

i just cant wait for fpv to release some kind of "hero" car that hsv cant rival.how does a GTHO with 350 kilowats and 300kilos in less weight sound? lol

Don't forget the 3 valve XT........there is one GT that has gone quicker than my XT and NO XR8 sedans have come close, as far as i know.

There's a few Supercharged GT's in WA ( Turbo V8 is illegal over here ) which are making roughly 370rwkw.

Track times ( traction ) => dismall, as they are manuals, and run 13's @ big mph...

Without HSV rivalry, FPV wouldn't be where it is today. No point showing who's bigger if the other party doesn't care.

An increase of 60kw from the current 290 will not see a GT into the 11s. 12s, maybe, but more likely 13s. The 20% increase in power equates to a 17% improvement in the kg/kw stakes.

Anyway, we all know that as an all round car, not just in a straight line, or even "on paper" drag, the Ford's leave the local opposition for dead.
