Manual performance wagons around $10-15k?

[02JZE Cressida]

Yeah back seat weighs 5kg. Driver of the falcon doesn't weigh 120kg like I do. Falcon is also turbo Magna is NA.
This is the only "Proof" I have. Raced them in other races just don't have the slip on me. have beaten BA XR6;s on the street by car lengths
Are you saying its impossible for a magna to beat a XR6 going off this slip ? Its that close

[Rona]

I'm not saying it is impossible but stating your car is faster then an XR6T because you have beaten just 1 is hardly evidence. My old Ma61 ran a 14.789 and it was line ball with a BA XR8 on the street all that meant was I was better at getting my car off the line then him. BAs will do high 13s stock and with a few light mods, intercooler, tune, valve springs & injectors they are making near 300rwkw at that point they are well into the 12s.

Many stock FGs have run faster then 13.5, the quickest I've seen a slip for was 12.9. My parents have a manual ute & an Auto sedan. The ute would struggle for traction but the sedan would run low 13s all day with a sedate launch.

I've seen many XR8's run high 14's and if you beat one that means you were faster.
I'm not saying the falcon doesn't have potential I'm just saying my shitty magna van beat them.

Why are we comparing modified $2000-$5000 Magnas in a thread about factory $15000 wagons that the OP wanted?

If thats what were doing then is is ok for me to mention my FJ20T Bluebird wagon, which was manual by the way, and ran a 12.8?

If it was on the street were they actually trying?

I've been told I've been "beaten" by douchebags in VN 'dores that I didn't even know I was racing.

Wheel spinning 2nd and 3rd. Yes they were racing. lol
Go to a test n tune and watch all the XR8's that run a 14 to 16 second passes.

Ya gotta ask these things.

[02JZE Cressida]

Not really. If I say I do 13's in the Magna and XR8's do an average of 15's its pretty obvious a magna will win

[Rona]

XR8s are pretty shit, the 5.4L is a bit of a nugget in NA form.You'd still have to be pretty hopeless to do an 16 in one though. 1/4 Mile time doesn't really define how fast all cars are though. Mine is a cunt to get off the line as too many revs and it just turns one front wheel (no lsd). Too little it'll bog down, go nowhere until it makes boost then wheelspin again. Would probably do a mid 12 with just going the wheelspin path.

From 2nd gear onwards or just dropping a gear on the street and playing with cars from a 60km/h roll on not much will touch it though. Manual XR6 Turbos are similar my BA was a prick to get off the line with the twin plate it'd just fry the 275s if you launched it hard and it only had 240-250rwkw. 100-150km/h times shit on some pretty quick cars though as they make bulk torque everywhere. I had my BA up to around 235km/h it was boosting hard in 6th and still accelerating at a decent rate but I had to back off.

Whatever.

Magna > *

Carry on.

[drscrote]

While we're miles off track here my wagon is an auto, cost $16K, and does mid twelves.

Do I win?

[EnFlaMEd]

Toyota Crown Estate Athlete V or Mark II Blit IR-V then do a manual conversion from a jzx100/110 Chaser :S

This is what im getting at with Wanky specs. You sit at the computer too much. If someone asks you what your car runs down the quarter you will probably get your calculator out and try and work it out,
flywheel kw's x 300cc injectors x 30 psi in tyres x 1300kg x 35 degree air temp = you don't know what you are talking about. Get off your computer and go to a test n tune and wake up to what cars are doing.. I raced my magna vs a FG XR6 T call busllshit all you like it happened I won.

Happy to admit I was wrong about your car.
But I also got the impression it was a stock 3.8 in a stock Magna which it isnt.

You also act like some king shit because he thinks he's the first person to put a big engine in a stripped out body.
End of the day you could achieve the same result putting a BA I6 engine in an EA

[02JZE Cressida]

I don't think I'm king shit just find it weird that people are so against the idea of a magna as a performance car. And yes it it's a 3.8 conversion though it still did a 14.4 with stock 3.5
I probably do come across abit king shit and for that I'm sorry but I guess I'm loving the thrill of changing the way people look/feel about magnas.
Pulling up to the staging lanes at 5 o'clock everyone death stares you like your a faggot in dads magna by the end of the night people change the way they look at you it's priceless. Same goes for most sleeper spec cars.

Ps that blue wagon is porn..
