600rwkw Commodore

[sphell]

Just had to tell someone that today I went for a spin in a 615rwkw supercharged VB Commodore.......and I just about crapped myself! It was running a LS1 on 11psi with a 6 speed Monaro gearbox. It's tubbed at the rear and runs WIDE tyres but can still spin them at 170kph in the dry apparantly!! The owner said it was down on tune and should be running 15psi and 900hp.

Anyway, fastest car I've ever been in by a mile. It's in an upcoming issue of Street Commodores. Still trying to get over it....... :1syellow1

[dansedgli]

Sweet!

[ratter]

RWKW seem a bit high to me, but that's not saying it's not correct, I've been in a VZ with a 3.3 supercharger at 15 psi, it also has head work cams etc and was making approx 450 rwkw, but either way it still impressive.

[Sorted]

Where you doing a stereo install in it?

All that in a VB..... Personally, I hate the look of VB/VC's... be better in a later model.... still... insane... sounds like you took a trip to "downtown brown" - lol.

Those old cars "feel" fast... 600rwkw in a new car would feel a lot slower.. I bet you crapped yourself lol

that setup in a new car would be slower because of the weight. also that setup would probably be best in my HQ, so i think the guy who ownes it should give me the running gear and fit it for free too

[dansedgli]

Is that the same guy with the big money engine that blew up after bugger all running time?

i stood next to a 2000hp twin turbo xu1 torana today at cv performance does that count???

The MR.MAD torrie?

Fastest TURBO car in Australia last i heard...

[EFFalcon]

614rwkw @11psi? I'm guessing it's not a 5.7 LS1! Or was it 614rwhp?

Anyway, I bet it was fun.

[Grechie]

thats awesome man, how did it feel to jump in ur everyday car and give it stick, i always hate doin that, ull be in a quicker car then your own, then jump in ur own n think its pathetic... lol!

Yeah I would like to know if that was meant to be KW or HP .
My mate has a 6/71 blown 405 ci windsor in an XY that put out 870rwhp @10 psi(thats the pic in my avatar). So he could be talking kw's, and yes I bet it was fun.

Even with 615rwhp, that would go like a tiger, with a firecracker, up it's a***.

Being a VB, it would only weigh about 1200Kgs. It would a insane power/weight ratio.

My VC SLE with the 3.3 six weighs 1350kg (less than 50 kg's less than my VS). More with a tubbed rear, ls1 etc.

Realistically more like 1500kg's.

eaither way it wouldve been god damm quick hehehehehhe

[Mr. CVE]

cool,600 kw and 900 hp aren't that far apart.
Once he starts pushing the 900 he will be chasing a new cast iron block.

[sphell]

yeah definately rear wheel kilowatts guys. He had had it on the dyno at Dynomotive the day before. He said the motor was pushing out over 800hp at the moment but it was still less than the target 900hp because the boost was down. Anyway, it'll be in the November or December Street Commodores so you can read all about it there.

And yeah, I was doing the stereo/alarm in it

[Sundeep]

I saw the stereo it was sick.

Must add though, fastest car I've been in would be TUFED-6's ED Turbo. That thing freaking flies. I think it's 460kW so 140kW on top of that in a lighter car would make for some face altering acceleration!!!

Sundeep

[RAMD67]

600+kw would fly! What type of supercharger is he running?

The fastest car I have been in is a high 400kw VL and that was fast enough for me lol so 600kw would be a blur. I hope to get a ride in a 1000hp VX Commodore soon.

[needaXYGT]

i dont mind the look of the older commodores

[red_hotxr6]

Geez does it come with a dunny roll holder as well.?

[xdclevo]

I bet it was spinning the wheels at mad speeds with that power :sm_drool:
I went to a dyno day recently where sleepy old Cairns had a near new s/c XR8 ute reel off 790 rwhp. Its hard to beleive how stock they sound and run at idle and driving around normally.

[ROOSTA]

Correct me if i am wrong guys but 800HP doesn't convert to 600kw..

Any one know wat the formula is??

Cheers,

according to this converter
http://www.mr2ownersclub.com/converter.htm
800hp = 596kw

close enough to me

[Wundy_30]

Yeah pretty damn close, I worked out 600kw to equal 804.6hp

[ROOSTA]

ok cool.. my bad guys..

Cheers,
Nik

[Joes_meat]

Just type "800 kilowatts in horsepower" without the quotes into google search.

[Sledgehammer]

Did it have cup holders?
