Okay, so recently i managed to beat my mates V6 utomatic VZ commodore in a 0-100 in my manual XG (won by about 5 centimeters) haha. As soon as we get over 100 the VZ leaves me for dead and i have no hope of winning (kind of expected the VZ to win) Now that i beat him to 100 my mate is sure that something is wrong with his car. Is it possible for a stock manual XG to beat a stock auto VZ to 100, or is their a problem with his car? I know its not a ford question but he refuses to believe such an old ute could beat his commy. Even I'm shocked that the XG could do it. I was sure he was going to flog me...

commodores are crap.
even your old ute with the injected 4l sohc probly has a bit more torque than the emotech 6

XG - 1525kg - 10.3kg/FwKw (148Kw Engine) VZ - 1600kg - 8.4kg/FwKw (190Kw Engine) |

XG - 1525kg - 10.3kg/FwKw (148Kw Engine) VZ - 1600kg - 8.4kg/FwKw (190Kw Engine) Doesnt that mean he has better power to weight? Therefore he SHOULD accelerate faster?

it more than likely does, you having shorter gears and a better torque curve would be why you stayed with it for a while.
The Alloytechs need revs to get to where the power is. Also no one talks about street racing here because everyone sounds like a tool when they do, also police are on this forum. I learnt the hard way, take it to the strip, more fun and you cant get in trouble.

Clearly op ment this was on a private road. Otherwise he would have mentioned getting the jump on the red light etc..

Why is this surprising??? Those things have no torque. If you put in a mild cam + exhaust your 1994 would rape it
