My car is quicker than a VN/VP SS so i'd have to go with the XR every time. Those SS's aren't overly quick for an 8.

my brother has a VN SS F****N hammers along, it's an auto, he flogged an EF XR8 auto by 6 car lengths, and he can smoke it up with 17's on with 235 tyres and a full car load.
now that is pure grunt |

17's with low profile tyres? Low profile tyres are easier to smoke up as there is not as much sidewall flex. What work has been done to this SS?

I just find it quite hard to belive that a VN SS would beat an EF XR8 by six car lengths, I haven't found one that is quicker than mine and i've got a six.

the SS cant be overly quick considering the EB XR6 was the quickest aussie car of its day but i would reckon it was a couple of tenths quicker than the XR8

well this EF XR8 beat a VQ 5L by 1 car length like 5 mins before my brother raced him.
the EF actually jumped the gun, the VN got a bit ahead though cause of the 1 gear in holdens thay stayed even then he hit second and he reckons that's when the EF was left for dead |

VQ V8 and SS have the same engine, Holden 304. Did you actually witness this or is this another "my mate/brother/significant other told me that..." thread?
