It makes me laugh how every bodys car is the fastest. 13.6 1/4 mile from the 255 kw model stock is a laugh this would be the first . We took my father in laws 295i down to a nightspeed last year and it was struggling to pull low 14,s .The only HSV's that have factory quoted 13 sec times boast over 300 kw .

Damm near stock is not stock is it. So you can pull the socks out of your mouth, thanks. I can say the same for my caldina , it is damm near stock and pulls 13.6 sec 1/4 mile times. But it is not how it came from factory so that would be lying.

There is a guy on here who claims 175 km/h trap speed from his stock auto caldina aswell . Out of all the 100's of thousands of hsv's produced and tested zlex's one is a one of a kind freak car that out performs the other couple of 100 thousand. There is a saying if 5 guys take 5 identical model cars to the drag strip and 4 of them run similar times but one guys time is faster than the rest . Questions have to be asked.

Not really, if they're identical, then its down to driver technique.....either way, rather pointless arguement in a thread about a guys extremely nice new car :roll:

But then I would say that wouldn't I, since I'm another one of them "smelly old V8" drivers

Nothing wrong with a v8!

Nice big cars with a lot of go.
Engine that purrs everytime it's started (unless a lil on the sick side)

Shit i own an mr2 And don't seem to have a problem driving the bigger cars.
Just takes a lil getting used to distances at first still not exactly hard.

Anyway as i said very early on in this thread beautiful car!
:lol: :lol:
Oh to wake up to that sound of a V8 engine purring would be heaven :D
