Premcar Holy Grail normal freeway onramp run

[sir.richard]

Hey all,

Crappy vertical video, and the phone mic doesnt capture the deep sounds, but here is a quick accelerate and merge example.

Impressive traction (assuming it was in 1st)

[sir.richard]

At the very start as I turned onto the ramp, I was accelerating hard. Some slight traction control kicked in but didnt upset the car. I tend to drive with TC o. Despite 600Nm in first it comes on beautifully, and you have the complete option - warp speed acceleration, or smoke or a mix.

Sooooo much traction. Not too hard to take off in 1st though I dont tend to do full race launches

Yes impressive. So limited it doesn't even spin the wheels...

[sir.richard]

It does as much as you want it to. In this case I think the corner loaded it up a fair bit and it mildly kicked in, but doesnt slow you much! I was accelerating hard on purpose - to see how the car handled being asked to put down power on a rough corner.

The ability and lack of easy-to-find limits of traction means the car can be quite humbling. I havent driven anything less than 240kW since 2002, but this car I have to respect! I always, and I mean always have to back off before the car does! Some seriously high new performance limits I need to identify somehoe and learn.

Sounds like you are very happy. And thats all that counts. Myself I like more value for my cash.

[xeeclipse]

I could build 4.... 1600kg au's with 500hp for that dough.

Then you'd really hear a psychotic laugh .

Or one AU with 2000hp.

Or 50 AU’s with factory hp.

So many options!

[mick taylor]

I thought that was the norm.

Mr Wheeler mild mannered man, but when he gets behind the wheel, the same was with Donald Duck in the cartoons.

[Falcon SXR8]

Thanks for sharing mate, its nice to see some ford muscle posted here. Really nice car and I would be happy to have one in my shed

[Tonz]

would be even better to see you stay in one lane.

[WyldOne]

Be interesting to see how it performs down 1/4 mile. My guess low 12 high 11.

[arronm]

Maybe not

"Wheels performance tested the holy grail. March edition. A whole page just for the times.

0-100 4.98 secs
400m 12.72 as their best time

Didn't they go fgx xr8 base car 4.86secs and 12.89? (That test against the vf lsa). A tune only xr8 should run a flat 12 all day.

Spot on. My GTE’s best 1/4 is 11.7 with 376 rwkw (tune only). If holy grail isn’t hitting that, it’s not really “holy grail” worthy is it?!

"Holy Snail"..............

[WyldOne]

I ran my manual XR8 12.65 100% factory. 400rwkw and now running 11.52 ��

Fastest stock Miami/w manual box ��

[arronm]

Maybe premcar got 300rwkw.

[ford12]

This site really amazes me.
How many times people come here to post a question or show there pride and joy only to cop ****. Nearly half the posts are negative in this thread already.

[ford12]

Maybe try editing all the negative comments.
Might keep new members here longer.

Its just the facts MAAM.....

[ford12]

Calling someone a tool is considered Personell abuse?
But calling someone a maam is ok ?
Well done gaso.

[ford12]

Hey gaso why don't you delete all the negative posts and return this thread to what it should be.
Or does Aronm have something over you ?

It is if you want to start an argument, which would not end well.

Good and bad comments are to be expected on a forum, and please don't tell me how to do my job. I don't tell you how to sweep your floors.

[au2000]

Back on topic I guess, sounds great, main thing sir Richard is that your happy with the upgrade, I'm sure ull love it

[JasonACT]

It's late, and I'm not denying any beer has been consumed tonight (seems this thread is contentious, so that doesn't help) but I'm sure my XR6T with a tune does a 5.0s run in a 0-100 "race". perfectly legal, I'll add, on some roads. I am in the money-best-spent-else-where though club. Nice to see it available and all, and no snails, but not for me. I think my MkII looks meaner compared to the FGX too - but that's just subjective.

It will do flat 5’s completely stock.

I think the holy grail only gains extra power higher in the gears, so it runs stock 0-100 times but slightly quicker at the strip where the extra power comes in at the top end of the track. Getting all the stock torque limiters in the first few gears, plus the conservative factory style tune means it’s never going to run anywhere near what a custom tune will.

Exactly.

[prydey]

I'm guessing if you add some corners the HG will start to highlight how much better it is.

Some people also like to have their cars 100% street legal, adr approved and emission compliant.

[Venomous1]

I give it the sounding nice part. I think Turbo's sixes have dulled my senses.
