Top 'speed' done and where? (2 Viewers)

[CieL]

although due to his constant drags on parra road his holden did used to eat, drink and shit petrol.

I think Commo and Falcons eat, drink and shit petrol in general.. especially if you EVER rev it over 2k rpm.. =.=

But at least you don't have to fill it up on premium =S

yeh, 3.8 litres doesnt sound "economical" when it is put near, say a 1.6 litre.

premium petrol doesnt improve performance, despite what people think. ifyou put unleaded in a PULP car, then you will get engine knocking and slight reduction in performance. of course there will be SOME improvement in putting premium, but it is so small you wont notice.

I can't believe it.. I filled up the 4.0L falcon today.. cost me just under $60 for practically a full tank.. for my 2.4LPULP Euro I have to fill up ~$75 for same thing.. and the falcon's tank is bigger =.= gay. And they do pretty much the same no. of kms... that is, if I don't thrash it....

I don't think it's wise to put unleaded in a PULP car.. I think it's due to the purity of the fuel and the combustion within the engine.. something about it taking longer to burn because there's less crap in the fuel.. so the engine has a different design for taking in the fuel.. (I think)

I thought premium burns better (like Ciel said) and that means there will be performance improvement since you need less fuel or something to do the same number of km (assuming the engine can make use of it?)... I know in cars like Astra, if you put in premium petrol, you get like.. a bonus kW or two of power >__> (it says so in the spec sheet)

*shrugs*
What premium does the Accord Euro use? I remember my cousins were putting 91 Octane in the 330Ci!...

 

[sikeveo]

Well, you use premium so the engine doesnt ping or knock.

if a car says use PULP it's because the engine has been designed to use high octaine rating fuel. not because of burning or anything.

I totally forgot about that expression "shotgun" since high school days!

Yeah well.. on the spec sheets they usually use PULP so the figures look better even if the car is just usually unleaded intake..

My car uses 95+

 

[seremify007]

haha expensiveness

I was referring to the Holden Astra specsheet.

POWER (ECE, kW) 90 @ 5600rpm
92 @ 5600rpm (PULP)

TORQUE (ECE, Nm) 165 @ 3800rpm
170 @ 3800rpm (PULP)

Falcodores respond very nicely to an LPG conversion. Very cheap to run (pays for itself in about a year of driving). Very environmentally friendly. Very high octane rating, which in turn delays the point of detonation, allowing you to up the engine compression (for more power).

 

[seremify007]

I've always wondered why some LPG taxis seem to feel so smooth when they accelerate~

 

[boon]

just wondering are you talking kilometers per hour or miles per hour
coz if its kph that not to fast even i'v done 140

 

[veterandoggy]

yes, well not all of us "race", so 160 and 140 is quite alot (plus 20 Km/h is a big difference at those speeds... could be the difference between taking a turn and taking a car )

also i have seen no need to hit more than 160 anywhere. most people i race drop out at 120 km/h, but i pull it a little further to get away from them. the ones that will pull it past 120 are either in 4WDs and think they're something (but they pull out before 140), or they actually DO have something and end up making you drop out.

Just got my p's yesterday

To my suprise the camry has much less accelaration than I thought...=\

 

[seremify007]

Haha... it's funny how once you've driven a car a bit... the whole "wow this car can accelerate" seems to drop... I'm starting to feel my Civic is a bit sluggish ... and my cousins didn't make me feel better by telling me they are considering ordering the new Civic with Integra Type R halfcut installed >__>

 

[the truth]

fastest i been was 190km/ph in my frends VL turbo but its got some issues should go faster....
my other frend got a 3L NA supra he hits 200 in 4th before the speedlimiter kicks in... damn speed limiters

 

[CieL]

Aww man, I was watching the preview of an episode of Amazing Race just before.. and they were in a benz going so fast it was defying gravity! Was running along a vertical wall!!

I'd love to try that under supervised conditions one day.. *adds to to-do list* X]

Speaking of which.. I've never seen a 4wd gun it..
