Some a**hole wants to race me
Hello,
I drive a 2004 Red Crossfire Coupe.
Some ******* is begging me to race. He drives a Holden 86 Berlina. It is an Australian car.
Holden VL Commodore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
VL Commodore Specifications
He is saying my car could only do a quartermile in 17 seconds and his can do that in 7 seconds.
If such a race were to take place, (dw im not gonna race) , what do you think the outcome would be?

Re: Some a**hole wants to race me
If I am reading the information correctly, the most powerful configuration has 150kw at 5600rpm. That equates to 205.5hp. And, it has 296Nm torque at 3200rpm, which would equate to 218.31 ft. lbs. of torque. The Crossfire has 215hp, and 229 ft lbs of torque. So, based on this, you have the edge in hp and torque even if he has the most powerful engine option. He would have a weight advantage. His - 2843 lbs. Crossfire - 3061.
Without knowing anything about the Holden 86 Berlina, I would say it would be a close race. I do not own an NA, but I think an 04 Crossfire stock should run low 15s in the quarter. So you should have the advantage. It is definitely not a 7 second 1/4 mile car. LOL
Your link supports this, as his car is a 15.6 or 16.7 second car in the 1/4 mile:
Commodore Berlina 3.0 litre five speed manual transmission:
1st: 62 km/h
2nd: 107 km/h
3rd: 157 km/h
4th: 186 km/h
5th: 187 km/h
0-100 km/h: 9.2 seconds
Standing Quarter Mile (400 metres): 16.7 seconds
Commodore Berlina 3.0 litre "Turbo" five speed manual transmission:
1st: 53 km/h
2nd: 91 km/h
3rd: 139 km/h
4th: 190 km/h
5th: 223 km/h
0-100 km/h: 7.6 seconds
Standing Quarter Mile (400 metres): 15.6 seconds
Sounds like your ******* friend is full of **** to me.

Re: Some a**hole wants to race me
If he really said his could do the 1/4 in 7 seconds....don't race him...just bet him he can't .....bet everything you got & agree to time him with witnesses.
Even cars with 1000 hp can't crack 10 seconds....

Re: Some a**hole wants to race me
This is my 8.90 car with a 496" engine. It is impossible that his car would run even a 12 second pass much less 7 seconds. I know what it takes to get to 7's and I don't have enough money to get there.

Here's some basics:
Pro Stock
Often called “factory hot rods” because of their resemblance to production-based automobiles, Pro Stock cars are some of the most technologically advanced machines in drag racing. Built around a sophisticated tube chassis and four-link rear suspension, Pro Stock cars must conform to precise measurements and weigh no less than 2,350 pounds. Pro Stock engines use two carburetors and spec gasoline and are restricted to a maximum of 500 cubic inches. They can rev to more than 10,500 rpm and make in excess of 1,300 horsepower. A competitive Pro Stock car can run in the 6.6s at more than 208 mph.
