1/4 mile times

[k15tox]

just a curious question?

what is the average 1/4 mile time for a stock cv8?
also the vxr?

my friends camaro runs a 13.2, just wondering what mine would be like, obv it down to launch and conditions, but itd be good to get some of your times

cv8 would be 14.5, have a look at www,chipmaster.com.au and what the project Monaro did

Is that for a stock 2004 CV8 or 2005 CV8?
My 04 CV8 when stock would not near that time. Somewhere in the 15's is more likely.

mine did a 14.03 at pod on a full wortec system remap and headers oh and her lady bits removed dunno if thats good but made me happy

[Bonnie and Clyde]

I did a 14.6 in an 56 CV8. Ithought it was stock but found out yesterday its gor a wortec map !!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, i'll be running far better time at shakeys in may for some reason Dont know why

I find those figures quite disappointing for such a powerful car.

Isn't a 10 year old M3 and a 335d (remapped) capable of low 13's?

Guess the Monaro isn't able to put all of it's power down at the start.

Its all in the gearing! Traction is a problem granted, but its the very tall gearing that kills it.

Change your diff

M3's will do high 13's - remapped 335's will do silly fast times ie low 13 sec easy! they are not to be messed with really on the road or strip. I went up against one at the pod and even regular 12.4 qtrs were only just enough to see him off!

[k15tox]

yeah the 335d are pretty quick mind! our gears are far too long and the weight is a big thing! 1650kg!!!

[granada203028]

The 329 BHP and tall geared CV8 puts in a respectable time but yes the 397BHP VXR and VXR8 are a little disappointing.

Turbo cars always seem to do better suggesting their claimed BHP is more honest and a little tighter waste gate of course gives a little more poke.

Don't forget the Monaro is hampered by a slow manual gearbox where as the Germans use modern autos.
