Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 10, 2004 I'm sure no one expects 100% realistic figues but its all just for a bit of fun and an excuse to meet really and if the figures do look half sensible then hey its a bonus... plus if there are a number of cars its good to compare figures etc. At last....someone with an open minded and non-cynical view of rolling roads :lol: We all know they're not accurate, tsk! The person with the lowest output gets the drinks in :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 10, 2004 oops, this should be in the other thread, nevermind! The person with the highest output pays for the next RR shoot-out.... so I'll need to disconnect 5 of my HT leads then :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted September 10, 2004 Henny, jimsG60, you gonna come and prove us wrong then ? :lol: At last....someone with an open minded and non-cynical view of rolling roads im expecting a good day and to be able to compare my scrick equiped engine with a standard one etc...not a bhp figure that i will swear on my monther grave is acurate....rather one i can brag down the pub with :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 10, 2004 I would but its just TOO far mate. Plus i've punished my car enough on two rolling road sessions this year alone. I know its pushing out 207BHP - I don't need to prove it again :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 10, 2004 Oh but this would be the perfect battle between G60 and VR though..... we can *really* find out who's all talk and who's all torque :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olly elworthy 0 Posted September 10, 2004 wonder how many vr`s can out torque henny,, :?: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 10, 2004 Not many....but the folks that always start the G60 v VR disputes can finally put their money where their mouthes are :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted September 10, 2004 if mine's up and running properly (and re-bedded in again... :roll: ) in time then I may well pop down and show you lot what a proper engine can do... ;) I'm interested to see what mine'll put out too actually... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olly elworthy 0 Posted September 10, 2004 nah sureley not, we cant end the deabate, its like any age old debate, it will go on for centurys long after the corrado and all of us,, it will be inscribed on tomb walls G60 VS VR,,,,,,, :? :roll: :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted September 10, 2004 Not many....but the folks that always start the G60 v VR disputes can finally put their money where their mouthes are :mrgreen: At this point I should probably point out that I never said VR6s were more powerful than tuned G60s... Just better, for other reasons.. ;) Never mind the width, feel the quality.. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 10, 2004 Not many....but the folks that always start the G60 v VR disputes can finally put their money where their mouthes are :mrgreen: I always thought you felt that the dispute couldn't be proven on a rolling road - and that the proof was in the driving? :) At this point I should probably point out that I never said VR6s were more powerful than tuned G60s... Just better, for other reasons.. Yeah - cause VR6's aren't "cheating" like the G60! :roll: :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 10, 2004 LOL..... I can just picture a bunch of old gits in a home waving their sticks at eachother arguing about a G60 beating a VR6 back in the good old days of 2004...... :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted September 10, 2004 Not many....but the folks that always start the G60 v VR disputes can finally put their money where their mouthes are :mrgreen: Yuk yuk, well mine's boggo standard so it'll be interesting to compare it with yours and jedi-knight's. Not really bothered what it actually comes to as a number though. The tuned G60 vs tuned VR battle should be interesting though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted September 10, 2004 cool Henny, what are the chances of your car being done? jimsG60, go one...one more wouldnt hurt if its as good as you say it is.. and i can have a good old gawp at your wheels aswell :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 10, 2004 Not really bothered what it actually comes to as a number though Not even if you get a reading of 57.3hp with 12lb/ft torque ? Which is roughly 10% down on a standard VR :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 10, 2004 I might consider coming down for a watch and to meet some of you guys, but really, no more rolling road for a while! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted September 10, 2004 if your coming all that way it'd be ashame to bottle out of the rr!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted September 10, 2004 jedi-knight83, chances are pretty good to be fair... I've got all the parts to put her back together in my hire car at the moment except for the piston which I've decided to change just in case it's cracked internally... John (16VG60) is doing his best to get me one rather than having to fork out for a set of 4! :| The head's going in to get checked and new seats put in if needed on Saturday too... oh, and to have the bolt impression ground down/filled too... :roll: :lol: I'm hoping to have her back together next Sunday... then it's just a case of re-bedding the engine in 'cos of the new crank and big end bearings I'm putting in... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted September 10, 2004 It'd also be a shame to have to get a 140 mile drive on the back of an AA truck as well nah...we push these cars on the road all the time (i know i do) so why would one more rr break it...unless the g60 cant hack the pace :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
