He's gone to America for a couple of weeks and given me the car to work on and drive (coolant flush, oils, fit new pads all round with dba drilled and slotted rotors, whiteline front swaybar etc) while he is over there.
I'd invite anyone who has driven one for any length of time or owned one to comment here, because I think there might be something wrong with it....it feels really doughy when driving normally, and doesn't go worth a shit until 4500rpm - I've got to say I was disappointed...it sounds absolutely freakin' awesome, but has no go to match the show.
In comparison to other 245-275kw stocker SS/HSV commodores this feels very very flat. It might do a comparable quarter mile time if pushed, but in normal day to day driving it needs about 50-80% throttle when accelerating through the gears just to keep up with traffic off the lights
Are they normally like this, or is there something that goes wrong occasionally to cause it? Dead set, my car has 3.08 diff gears atm, and if I ran this thing in my car, with both drivers shifting at 2000rpm, I reckon I'd sort it, which as far as I'm concerned should not be the case!
I'll be telling him to get a PD blower for the thing when he gets back
