yeah we went at it from the lights. his first gear was shocking, i got him off the line easy then as soon as i clicked into 2nd gear i was off, and his car has low k's as well so yeah, i believe it has got to do with the amount of torque the i6 pull out. also the vt's are heavier.

The VT ss is only 40kg heavier than a base model EF (a fairmont like yours would be heavier than the VT ss). The 5.7 makes more torque everywhere in the rpm range.

i been in a VT1 clubsport auto and that was nothin to brag about, i could see a lightly modded i6 beating it, but a gen3, your dreaming buddy, as everyone has said it would have to have serious issues (and the series one gen3's had serious issues......

STOCK vt ss running 13's?
thats pretty unusual considering the factory time was 14.3 14.4 he must of had some mods.

You're talking about a 5L. 5L's are s**t in factory form. The 5.7 Gen3 is a completely different kettle of fish. If you supposedly beat this VT in your EF it is a series one, not a series 2. |

Thats it, 13.9 seconds at heathcote raceway, if he still has the time slip ill chuck it up. I sat right next to a VT clubby 5.0L till 120, they are nothing to brag about. VT 5L = heavy and underpowered
