Fg's 1/4 mile times?

**Stav** · 08-09-2008, 06:01 PM

Have any fg's been run at the track and what were the results.I trust our readers more than magazines or ford themselves..

Mainly the turbo equiped cars and v8's.

Falc'man · 09-09-2008, 01:59 AM

BPR had their Boss290 manual XR8 ute down the quarter, it was still fresh though, 13.91@102 mph.

Then with a tune it did 13.64, with clutch problems.

Falc'man · 11-09-2008, 12:54 AM

And another one...

Car is making 317rwkw on Mobil 98 pump.
1st time the car has been to the track and there is a lot of interest people asking is this really a Falcon.
The above info is to the best of my memory don't kill me if a number is wrong.
Excellent effort made even better being a manual.

**Stav** · 11-09-2008, 05:16 PM

Saw that!! These cars are the best bang for buck.So far they are said have 260rwkws stock.Tune up some boost to 14psi and they are getting 300rwkws!!
Exhaust not really needed from what ive heard so far. Good to see the claimed power figures are proving themselves at the track.

FalconXR6 · 12-09-2008, 11:13 AM

Has anyone ran a stock FG down the quarter?

And I'm not sure how this would void warranty???
Can someone please explain?

If you have any driveline/engine breakages and if they see you at the strip you could get hassels, they have been known to have scouts there sussing out cars and taking rego's. Easiest way around it is just take your number plates off.

250TURBO · 13-09-2008, 08:58 AM

there was a bloke racing out at WSID on wednesday with a FG turbo with his plates on.i was right behind him waiting for my run when he decided to destroy his rear end on the start line.i wonder if ford will repair it.

Falc'man · 18-09-2008, 02:49 AM

That's nuts. Well done. Already matched the quickest stock BF-F6... without LSD.

prydey · 18-09-2008, 07:14 AM

the quickest fg's in stock form seem to be the ones with the soft suspension. GT-E seemed to perform better than the GT and GT-P in testing.

G6E-T is certainly proving to be a real force.

GTP370 · 18-09-2008, 01:52 PM

Great time!!

10 odd runs....have to be happy with that....wish I could have made it!!

**Stav** · 18-09-2008, 04:49 PM

That time is oscene.I wonder what could be achieved with an lsd??

The best LSD will only give about 45% drive to both wheels, be better off spending $600 and getting a LockRight Powertrax NoSlip Locker for it from the USA....

Probably best getting the Harrop Tru-trac lsd due out any day now.

Hmmm .... 45% x 2 wheels = 90%. Where does the other 10% go?

This has an LSD , slightly better than a single spinner:

I believe the G6ET would run a much better 60ft with an LSD over the factory setup, either way it's impressive as is.

Sorry to get off topic, but i could not help myself.

steve.zissou · 18-09-2008, 05:41 PM

Thats awsome - demonstrates the variance in times we see in mags.
They sure feel faster than the mag times indicate and sub 13's prove it.
once again, awsome!!!

schnoods · 18-09-2008, 08:06 PM

It did take 5 runs to match the 13.3 as traction is a real issue.

The 12.89 was one without any wheel spin and also the only time under 13.00.

It was mainly a small stall up to 2000rpm and then letting it go. The season has just started at the motorplex so the track is in good nick.

Mods will be starting soon enough.

Will get a few pics up soon.

Homer · 19-09-2008, 02:41 PM

Damn thats a good time!

Wonder what an F6 with decent rubber will run

I'm trying to twist my old man's arm to take his to the drags next month.

Hope to have a result for you all next month (fingers crossed!!!)

blwneb · 20-09-2008, 04:08 PM

these g6et,s are quick i have one with 19s still only 1000ks on clock, these things have tourque, stock to do 12.89 is awsome, like to see what mine will do

Paul@eliteauto · 22-09-2008, 08:13 PM

My FG f6 ran 12.4@113.
Only mod custom tune.

Cheers Paul

thats one hell of a stable you have in your sig there mate. i'm tipping the fg f6 won't stay in the 12's for too much longer going by the standard you have set with the others

Well done Paul, did you run it when it was stock?

Cobra · 24-09-2008, 10:36 AM

How much did your FG F6 on the dyno before tune? Would have been nice to see what it could do down the track stock as well.

i am pretty sure it was 268 rwkw or something like that from stock

now its been tuned and its at 307 rwkw

and yes i agree it wont take Paul and Tim long to get that F6 into the 11's

i hate saying it but boy there a awesome machine thats for sure :monkes:

shame i really love the V8's though

That's nothing to be shameful of though....

Paul@eliteauto · 01-10-2008, 11:33 PM

Ran a 12.16 @ 114.77 mph tonight.
Tune with MT's only.

Cheerss Paul

prydey · 02-10-2008, 08:45 AM

what's involved with the 'tune' on the FG F6? is boost given a hike or just removal of torque tags and the usual tidy up of mixtures and rev limiter?

the sort of figures these things are spitting out at the wheels i'm beginning to think ford were rather conservative with the 310kw engine figure!!

.3 of a second gain with MT's. not too shabby. you certainly can steer!

All those things you mentioned are part of custom tune.

Thanks for the driving wrap! My head just grew an inch.lol.
