Whats an appropriate car for a company executive?

[Road Games]

What proof have i got ?

Oooooh only a hundred or so passes at the track !

What proof do you have ?

Oh yeah i forgot lol.... must be a bloody steep hill you time your toyota on :/

If it actually is yours ??

No hate here mate... but if it looks like crap and smells like crap ???

Take it to WSID and time it for real otherwise you got nothin but inuendo and a dodgy dash vid at best...

[Road Games]

Cool post edit by the way.... is there any posts you make that dont get edited?

Try thinking before you type just a heads up.

And have a great day

I just blew a part of my morning hand timing that video. Being kind and taking it from the first move of the tacho i can get best 5.5 (assuming it MOVED when the revs rose), plus reaction time of my finger, plus the fact the speedo undoubtedly reads high as they all do, and i'd see low 6's as you'd expect. They're quick, no doubt, but a quick whitegood is still a whitegood. Lots of people like whitegoods and if you have to have one a decent choice no doubt, definitively less boring than Camry.

Hulk, yes, it is quick, but unlike you everyone else is thinking 'so what'. And unlike everyone else you err on seeing what you want to see.....

Hulk good on you for coming to a choice that suits you and your own lifestyle, and putting your money where your mouth is. At very least you can be confident it'll treat you well during your ownership I've see a few which actually look pretty schmick with the right choice of wheels and a lowering job. Get on that!

thanks for the reply..

Car is also brand new and will free up a bit with proper run in so that run should be highly indicative.

Its safe to say its a 5 second car and would be a high 13, flat 14 car down the quarter. The previous generation Aurion were known to run 14.4 and low/mid 6's for 0-100km/h. The new spec is a good 70-80kg lighter model for model, hence the 5 second runs I've now posted with two different new spec 2015 cars..

They are pretty quick for what they are. Many on here wouldn't go wrong buying one too.

Get your stop watches out fellas, low 5's for a bog stock Aurion... Must be heartbreaking for most.

The important question is; Can you now hold a conversation with a doctor at your mates' BBQ?

And will you now get a carpark at work labelled CEO?

Oh my heart is broken. Because when buying a car, straight line speed is what its all about.

ill bet the dealer would love to read this thread and see what your doing to their car!

You are a troll of the highest order and have posted nothing useful on the forum under any of your forum names.

Why wouldn't u just buy a new xr6t for 10k more and sell ur mint bf for 15k... Aurions look dated and old, it could have a twin turbo v10 and I still wouldn't want one... Did they give u free membership to the local bowls club?

[gossy]

Hulk, take it to the drag strip and come back with a time slip..................and I thought you were banned??? That damn goat again....

As far as I'm concerned a low 5 isn't quick, these days it's expected of a vehicle that is marketed as the sporty variant of the model line up.

Mid 4's and less is starting to get into the quick territory.

[Stefan]

It ain't doing it in low 5s, not even low 6.

I looked at the video and its not 5 at all.

Besides the stupidity of timing 0 to 100 from a phone video there a 3 issue

1. Due to the angle of the phone as needle sweeps past 100 it likely actually sweeping past 90 or 85.

2. Just say it is indicating 90 the car is not doing 90 its doing 85.

3. Who knows how accurate the video speed is.

I timed this at 6 seconds as the needle hits 100, so car is doing 0-85 in 6 seconds, 100 maybe high 6 at best.

Anyone thinking a Camry does low 5 is a complete fool...xr6t is doing 5...

[Bossxr8]

I can't believe he's still pushing this barrow. I guess if you lie so much you end up believing yourself? Fool.

Low 5's is just hilarious. And the weight reduction he spouts might result in a tenth or 2 quicker to 100, nothing more than that. So it's gone from mid 6's to maybe low 6's.

He's only saying these things in a deliberate attempt to stir up conjecture and heated discussion. Everyone knows he loves it. He thrives off the drama he causes and will continue to embellish the truth to ensure you all stay baited. He has read the rules and continues to slide in between the cracks of the rules to ensure his thread remains open and he can continue to get away with what he does. Fact of the matter remains, if you do not feed the troll, they will disappear.

I'm only here because I enjoy reading the pay outs he gets.

*grabs popcorn*

[GTPete]

Fantastic just what we all need another company rep in an upmarket Camry that thinks he can win every traffic light battle.

[EASYBOSS]

Cant believe this this thread is still alive WTF

[superyob]

I don't mind Hulk's threads, they give me much satirical inspiration. Alas I can only keep it to myself now...

[gossy]

May one of the Moderators be able to answer this?

Wasn't he PERMANENTLY BANNED?

If so, what happened, or does PERMANENTLY BANNED mean something else that I am unaware of?

You offer plenty of excuses Stefan, ridiculous and comical.

Anyhow guys, please no more, I am not going to offer any more comments, just watch the video and take it like a man.

Its in the 6's.
So it is as quick as a VN SS was. In 1999......................
Still pretty good for the shopping trolley but not setting the world on fire like you would like to have yourself believe.

As someone who owned 200kW front wheel drive car - traction is an issue , weight transfer does not help it either .
Low 5s for Aurion is worthy of a comedy show :-)
