| Ahhhh.. Well you will still end up overtaking him well before you go for 3rd gear anyway. VL's are slow pos, saying that its the best motor a holden has ever had lol Still is. |

Dont race him off the line. If you had a manual you would rape it.
Saying that VY's are heavyish almost like a falcon so you would prob end up catching it over 100km/h and that shows who truely has the power.
V6's are s**t tell your mate 
Race him From 100 and He will see your back end.
Commodores are far from powerful they just have a nice 1st gear ratio fords 4 speed has prob the worst ratio first gear ive heard of. |

If you've got money buy some 4.11 Diff gears on ebay and have a diff shop fit them. Then race your mates. Dont tell them what you did.
The Ed will eat them for breakfast. |

| Exactly right!! i wouldnt expect holden to make a good engine. You would see every VL motor outlasting any of the 202 or buick peices of s**t. |

|

Put it this way, my ef changes into 3rd at 140kmh, so i dont think you will quite be needing to put it into 4th any way!
the gearing on falcons is unbelievable!
speed in gears is about
1st : 87-88
2nd: about 140
3rd: dont know!!! and i dont think i ever will |

| You'll hit the speed limiter (~180km/h) in 3rd, so you won't need 4th. |

comes down to the skill of the driver. if he's raced a bit and can launch well than he'd probly chop you.
the fact that your on here asking whether to remove your foot when changing gears on an auto means that he'll probly beat u
anyway just give it a shot and if he wins then just say your tranny fuked up or something |

You'll be playing catch up off the line... but wont be long before you'll pass him.
I had an EA 3 speed (such a dog off the line) and i played catch up with a VT calias and passed him at about 100... so against the VL in the ED. No worries mate. Just plant it and go until you pass him... once you do, slow back down! No license is a b**ch  |

Oh it'll be done at a proper track not in public.
Say we drag up to 100 is that legal in a 100+ zone?
Or are the other laws that could have ya?
Also how do I launch?
I stall it up to 1500rpm and then take my foot on the brake but my mate at work was telling me have it so the car's pushing itself forward or something. |
