Any VF performance figures out there yet?

1TUFFUTE · 31-08-2013, 08:56 PM

Because i have my own real world experience against the very first vf I've seen. A black Ssv sedan at low speeds coming off a 2 lane roundabout we both booted it for a little bit......he was an auto aswell and chirped twice.....but was almost a fullcar length behind before we both backed off. I was very surprised ......thought they were lighter faster and better grip...amount other things.
Anyway. Anyone seen how fast these new Vfs really are.

Spent an hour as a passenger in a VF SSV Redline on Thursday.

Definitely not as quick as a g6et...that's for sure

However, I really liked the trim and dashboard.

Yeah pretty well covered in other threads. It holds no weight other than a advert for HSV and another review hanging **** on Ford so the HSV is better by default. No mention of the HSV being better on its own merits. The drag video also shows the GT braking and then the video pauses to give the impression that the GTS crosses the line miles in front.

Here is a 340kw R8 on the dyno http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIeibllatZg

There are few videos of SS's being tuned but dont give the base figure.

Ummm...no it hasn't ....where's the figures....im after times....speeds.....0-100..........but still nothing!!! Im after times.
I noticed top gear got a hold of a vf gts and guess what.....even they say 0-100 in 4.5(estimated). ARE YOU SERIOUS..........where's the acceleration times. Surely top gear could of done some runs

Here you go, 0-100 n 4.6 and 1/4 mile 12.6

Thanks...so its not the Aussie muscle car king yet then......it's still slower then a GT rspec. And if you apply the logic of price that they do in that video......why wouldn't you thumbs up a GT 335 or Rspec for even less.
And what on earth was wrong with the conditions at the track in the video......the guy says they could've been better hence faster times........huh.looked PERFECT conditions.

Of course the GTS is the aussie muscle car king, have you looked at the specs? MRC suspension, massive brakes, torque vectoring diff, oil coolers etc make it most complete performance car made in Australia period.

The only comparison that I have seen between the two was in wet conditions and the GTS spanked the R Spec by over half a second on the 1/4 mile

Ummm if you look through the pages there are a few vids showing the new GTS vs GT Rspec which you asked about it an earlier post. Watch the video it shows times

It also shows the GT braking half track and the video pause to make it appear that the GTS wins by a bigger margin. For all we know Holden paid for the vid and in actuality the GT won. Until they run together (as above ^^^) with continuous footage we have nothing.

I am going to be bias on the subject (hence my comments above) and I will show the right respect on the street or strip to the new HSV and not discounting it yet, but as it stands the GT is still the quicker tested car in the hairy chested 0-100 and 1/4mile published times. I have no doubt which will be a quicker track car though.

Ha you mean all the compares in the rain...comon...I mean real times......not made up ones with editing, bad weather and journos at the wheel. Im after real world times

The G6ET Spot · 02-09-2013, 04:37 PM

If your so fixed on getting figures on the VF why don't you join the LS1 forum and go annoy them instead of wasting space on here.

40RDT · 31-08-2013, 11:07 PM

Here is a couple vids

http://player.vimeo.com/video/73341248

look at this spreadsheet for a comparison.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...QNnlHS1E#gid=0

The new GTS will be an absolute blast!!!!

BHDOGS · 01-09-2013, 11:40 AM

An hour and 9 seconds not bad

XPL37V · 01-09-2013, 11:56 AM

There was a clubbie out at wsid last Sunday, not sure how many runs it had but the only 1 i saw was a 13.4

Was it a vf? If so.....at least that something to go with.

The VF has been seriously beat up by the ugly stick.

I thought this too going by the pics, but saw one in the flesh last night. Was a SS in an orange colour (similar to octane) with black trim pieces, black wheels and stripes with a little flag (similar to the XR50 stripes) and it actually looked pretty mean. In saying that it shared a few similarities (colour and stripes) of ford so maybe that's why it looked good ;)

bigboihulk · 01-09-2013, 08:53 PM

I put my xrt up against my bosses vf ssv and he being a cocky holden bloke thought he had it in the bag cause it was the latest model out. I beat him fair and square by car and a half length and I dont think there any quicker then the ve just got more gadgets that about it.

Holden is still running the same 270/260 kw V8 and 210kw v6. The only difference besides the tech over the VE would be 50kg missing from using some aluminum pannels.

HSV is the only one that has increased its performance figures

I'm pretty sure the VF Commodore (non HSV) gets the same V8 motor from the VE series with the same amount of power. even thou there 40kgs lighter there's not much difference. I have heard the fuel economy in the VF V6 isn't much different (if any) then the VE V6 3.6L. doesn't surprise me.

This. Have the displeasure of walking past a VF Calais in the carpark most days. I'd rather put my hard earned on a FGII G6E Turbo, and I'm no fan of the whale mouth grill on the MkII

Anyway. Anyone seen how fast these new Vfs really are.

They are about 200-205kw at the wheels, 270kw/550Nm at the flywheel (claimed).

Does just under if not exactly 6 seconds 0-100km/h.

Same as the VE SS, just a tad slower than a stock XR6T.
