as stated in your other maloo review, mine is a vu ss manual with extractors, exhaust, tune and otr and has a genuine time of 5.5 seconds to 100kmh, with a cam and retune am sure this time would drop dramatically, tried and true method of extractor, exhaust, otr cam and tune wakes these engines up and doesn't cost much in comparison with turbo vehicles ( turbo, manifold, gate, water, oil lines, ecu, injectors, fuel pump etc) many guys have vt series 2 to vz (ls1's) with said mods and are well into the 12 second quarter range, bloke from perth daniel chipmaster had the first vx style monaro naturally aspirated and got down to 11.2 with no supercharger or nos, but had to rebuild many auto gearboxes lol. keep up the good work and review as many different ozzy vehicles as possible.

great vid guys! btw did you check the exhaust? i can tell its at least got a catback. Sounds like a fullback with hotdogs (standard extractors )
@ZeroTo60Tube7 жыл бұрын
Damn, totally forgot to mention it in the video. To confirm it was just a generic cat back exhaust, it did have mufflers but was a bit droney. Standard headers and cats. Under acceleration, it actually had a nice note.

Zero To 60 Thanks for the info. Keeo up the great vids guys!. Im glad you mentioned the 5L vs LS1 debate in the v8 world lol. My view is its more a personal opinion both with pros and cons as you guys mentiones. The 5.0L cammed and full exhaust has forever been the best sounding V8 supercar like V8 ive heard. Second to that would be the AU Xr8 Windsor with the same mods. But performance wise as you said the LS1s are the way to go. Hope your travels bring you to Melbourne again soon :) Cheers!

Absolutely would. Anything less than prepped track will affect a cars accelerations time. Even the age of a normal road can significantly effect it. Same with things on the car, worn plugs, rings, air filter condition and so on affect performance, we used to just shoot for a real world time. Do 5 -10 run and put the best ones in the videos.

Hey GTfloor. This engine actually felt quite strong. Something that inspired this channel was the realisation that cars, very very rarely do the "claimed 0-100 times" in the real world. Until people get some semi accurate timing gear they don't realise how slow cars are on an average bit of road with used tyres. I can't recommend downloading a timing app and having a play in your own cars.

If you are genuinely interested, look in to accurately timing acceleration runs. (Timer on the speedo is normally 10-15% off.) The effects the road surface has on the time is also a lot greater than most people realise. We set this channel up to show people what cars do in real world conditions, you like if you happen to have a bit of a race of a set of traffic lights. We are yet to find something that matches factory claims out on a normal road. I think a modern awd DSG car with sub 400hp is most likely to do it. The lambo we tested with awd dsg ended up half a second off as it was spinning all 4s. However even in perfect conditions a stock auto ls1 in a VU Ute won’t break 6 seconds. Might get close with some decent tyres, and a prepped drag strip. But getting them off the line quickly on a normal road is tricky. Thanks for checking us out and if you have any questions let us know.

Full of Shit guys, my 2001 VU SS Ute has 240 Kws as standard and goes like the clappers. I still have it today, 2019, and only 2 days ago, pulled out in traffic and left a smoke screen behind me and had to slam the brakes on so I did not hit the car I gained on VERY Quickly in front of me. My ute is Auto, 253,869 kays on it, with a Shift Kit and when it clicks into 2nd, if I have my foot down, it will smoke the bags, in economy mode, and I run 245 x 35 x 19 Inch. All I have done to it is put headers on and upgraded the ECU. 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds. One very quick Ute. Maybe you guys should learn to drive a fast car. Me, 41 years steering fast Holden's and Fords. Oh, dont need the Mafless tune either. And watching the video, you guys are not putting you foot down, or you are driving one very sick VU. Total BS.
