Driver and environment aside a stock Monaro V8 will rip a FTO.

0-60km/h? questionable

Even if its not much the Monaro is at least .5 a second quicker to 60km/h. It's all over in three seconds for a LS V8.

The FTO and whatever LS is not even in the same league, I don't understand why people always reckon their cars a V8/Turbo beaters.

couldnt agree more.
but i did beat the monaro fair and square on that day from 0-60km/h....and thats a real life experience, not comparing specs from papers which makes absolutely no sense.

As I said driver and environment aside the monaro is quicker. I can beat my friend LS1 as well but he could have been on the phone or something. I way I see it, don't drag about beating a much quicker car as in reality your car would never win.

I could say I beat a R35 GTR but really I did not.

yeh but imo the fto is quicker accelaration at low speeds

is this actually a correct observation?
or am i a downy

Downy.

FTO's peak torque is almost at redline.

LS2s peak torque is at about 3.5k

Bennoz I have a feeling you know what I am talking when it comes to what is a quicker car. Everything I have said in this post, you agree with me???

I may not win the car, but I WON THE RACE. Now thats a fair quote.

Pretty much!

I chuckle at how anytime someone thinks they've won a flat out race with a more powerful car, they come on here & start spouting power figures!

"Yeah man, the Monaro does it in 6.5 seconds, the FTO does it in 7.5... I got the jump on him so blah blah blah"

Thats all good & well, but those FTO figures were from some 15 years ago... find me an FTO that's still putting out it factory numbers.... then find me a Monaro driver that can actually drive... then find me someone that actually gives a sh*t!

Screw drivers we are talking about the car. The power difference between the two is massive. The LS is a beast of a motor, compared to any engine, not just the FTO.

Just hang on thats why I have to say, even when I hate Holdens!!
