Gotta remember it might be a 5.7, but it is out of the box, and the latter ones like the VY SS do go into the 13's out of the box, and look at the weight in them. A few of my mates have them smartass, so im pretty clued up on how quick they are.
Then again on the other side of the arguement, high 16s - 17s is pretty shocking form a 3L as well dont you think, considering they get assraped by most 2Ls out there. Im sorry, but your 5speed N/A is not a weapon.

Yeah, factory car which needs to meet strict emissions restriction, achieve good fuel economy, have a smooth powerband and not be too loud. In a 1750kg car. How ****

Same year XF Falcons, with the 4.1L EFI, run 16s-17s and they had more power and torque, then the VLs.
I find that more pathetic, too be honest.
EDIT: I was just reading some specs on XF Falcons and the EFI 4.1L 5 Speed ran a 18.5????
N/A VL 5 Speeds atleast ran a mid 16.
around 1800Kg.
and who said N/A vls havetrouble losing traction. i mean mine frys a brand new retread for 500m off the brakes and that was when it was auto

Your looking like an idiot that reflects badly on decent NA drivers. I drive an NA and i don't pretend it's quick. Ooh so you "beat someone off the line" it doesnt mean your car is quicker! They were just busy driving rather than stoking their ego to compensate for what they don't have under the hood of their car.

im taking my na to willowbank NEXT week if any brissy boys want to go down.. hoping for a high 13.. (with my friend N2 )

i dont get it..
... why is it that vlt autos are quicker than the vlt manuals??????
and with the NA's its the opposite?
surely its not the 'take off' ? :/
VLT's autos dont lose boost between gears like a manual will. N/a's just can't spin an auto because they are gutless. You lose 30% of the power from an auto backed N/A (or turbo) and less with a manual.
i got a 17.1 auto with pacemakers and extractors.
Now have manual, k&n, crow cam, soon to have an xf and will be going to the drags hopefully within a month to see how much better it goes. Hoping for a 15.5.
