HI guys , is it normal that a 6cylinder au3 has a real slugish take off from stop? You nat even dropn a burnout using the brake. Is this normal?
I know every commodore Ive driven hammers off the line, Surely its not just because its a v instead of straight 6. |

sounds normal to me.
its because the falcon's first gear (in the auto anyway) is really tall. a Hi-stall torque converter will solve this problem.

Secondly, at my age , Im not looking to entertain myself by doing burnouts on public roads{though I have in the past}, I was merely stating a fact. Ive not owned the car for long, and its just one of those things I do when Testing a car.What Im trying to say is that its very dowy in first, thats it. |

(has anyone else noticed the proliferation of "used to own 1000hp streetcars" lately? That's in excess of 740kw.. I don't think there is a SINGLE 700+kw car on the forums so I'd love to know where all these 1000hp streetcars are hiding)

Yes, I would also like to know where all these 1000+HP Streetcars are hiding. I would love to do the same mods, if nothing else.

You're on the wrong forum we love racing our 200hp falcons here. The AU falcon auto is not really going to do burnouts because it was overgeared with a 2.39 first gear and a 3.08-3.23 diff to curb the wet weather wheelspin problems of the live rear axle in the AU sedans. Not toatally nobled to stop wheelspin also to get a better L/100km sticker on the windscreen. |

I had a similar probelm in my fairlane. The torque converter died and had to be replaced (so i had a small upgrade). Its not very common bu its possible. But for a brand new torque convertar i got it for $300 fited. And she was back to doing skids as per normal. :hihi:

If you want to be pushed in your seat, or spin the wheels, get a manual... weather its a Holden Rodeo (sp?) or a Manual Falcon. Forget the Auto... just good for city driving, and towing...

LOL I know you'll win.. but.. it would be cool to see two AU1 XR6's totally burst off the line practically side by side..
And then my clutch fries, gearbox falls out, diff shatters, my left leg gets tired and then you win hahaha |
