He probably left traction control on.

Couldn’t agree more. My stage 2 rs3 on E85 does 2’s every time on backroads and is a 10 second flat 1/4 mile car - when I get my car back with 2 Wavetrac LSD’s, it is going to be a monster and will destroy that GTR badly

Much appreciated

The holdens really struggle to get off the line. But a few were very close in the 4.3 4.5 range

That’s the plan 😂

Thanks a ton!

🙏

Well said! It’s super impressive

Amazing machine eh!

Called a dragy need to buy a device tho with it

You guys got a few of them rebranded under Vauxhall or whatever it is. The Monaro and possibly another one or two I can't think of but feel I saw on top gear over the years. 😊

Nice work!

🤣🤣 deal with it Barras are shitboxs next to JDM.

​@@toughtimes721hopefully when you reach 20 yrs old and have worked enough maccas shifts you too can afford a JDM(non turbo) car.

I try to do them as often as I can

Thanks

I even enjoyed making this and seeing them all again 🤣👍

Sir... and very politely, a Tesla plaid does crush the last car featured. 3 sec is really fast, really fast, 2 sec with AWD is absurd.

@@user-lf4xr6sv7tThat doesn’t refute my comment at all. The GTR would still be more fun to drive regardless.

Actually is does! You said this "The last car in the video would give any EV a run for its money" and my statement refutes that. Its all good bud... you take care.

@@user-lf4xr6sv7t Giving something a run for its money does not mean it beats it overall, bud. So again, no it doesn’t refute my comment. Just be less defensive of EVs and you’ll be fine.

Thanks!

That’s the one

🤣🤝

Thanks ✌️

Thanks!

They fly!!

If it was at a track (near certain - because who else has timing gear) then this would have included 1ft roll out - thus saving around 0.2sec, and instead of 62mph (100kmh) would have saved 0.2 sec. On a prepped surface you usually see 0.75sec advantage for a powerful RWD car compared to a road surface. If it was tested today. A lot of US car testing in the day and sometimes still even now allows drag slicks/radials for their “stock” testing. Either way it’s fast because of the technology limitations but would probably be a 5sec car nowadays if tested like Ross does

Yeah 0-60 falling out of a plane lol

Sorry, Not in a MILLION years. Do you have Any idea what a Catalina is? It is the Biggest car that Pontiac made. They ran around 15 + second quarter miles stock. On a very good day, with a tail wind and the Biggest engine Pontiac made. They did around 7-8 seconds 0-60mph. They did build 62 Catalinas with the Super Duty 421, but they were Drag race special cars.....They raced against the 413 Mopars, the 406 Fords, and the 409 Chevs. They all did similar 1/4 mile times.

@kramrollin69 Best you take it up with the staff who scribed the March 1965 issue. Car&Driver also makes mention of it in their history of 0-60 'practice involved a certain 421-cubic-inch 1965 Pontiac Catalina 2+2 that appeared in our March 1965 issue. Capable of demolishing the zero-to-60-mph measure in a blazing 3.9 seconds, that particular Catalina, we openly revealed, had been “properly set up” by famed tuner Royal Pontiac.' The original article said they often rejected vehicles supplied by manufacturers as being modified, in this case, it was deemed still close enough to stock for a valid test.

Glad you enjoyed it

The M6 wasn’t dragy was it?

@@RossReviewsau you’re absolutely right - I had to go back and check it.

The track hawk is so good

Keen to see when you get top spot next 😏😂

Well put.. I’ll try to remember that for future top 10s

I want to badly 😩

Keen shoot me a message with some pics of them!

Yeah- only testing the slowest RS3 made with the smallest factory Turbo, is not really fair. Even with stage 2 it was a disappointingly slow result - ie there was something wrong with it. My best Dragy verified time was 3.29secs in an FL RS3

I agree, Ethanol RS3 can get into the 10s 1/4 as well

The owner did the test and I also tried

@@RossReviewsau probably spark plugs or shit fuel. Cuts timing. It is what it is though. With a sample size of one - not a good statistic

Was the transmission tuned as well? They are notoriously torque limited and I couldn’t get decent sub 4s in my RS5 until the transmission limiters were raised (the 6000 rpm launch might have helped too).

That could be good

Yea it’s a good trick

They move eh! Love them

that would be an insane upgrade

@@RossReviewsau total game changer for cars like boosted HSVs and Mustangs.

Cool, thanks would love to see that

ford barra turbo fg 4 door sedan

Definitely helps a lot

Start in 2nd gear

You could be close eh

@@RossReviewsau I’ve been 3.7s at the track when it use to make 600hp & I’ve been quicker then that on the street recently

@@MartinJones123 yeah there are a couple of slower cars but got bored recording them lol

@@MrTroytroy There are quite a few slower cars that he's reviewed, so it will be interesting to see what they are...

💀 my fault I legit forgot how quick these cars were! I thought 4.3 was in but it’s 4.2!

@@RossReviewsauoh well it will still be the quickest Holden for now lol

If you can beat Australias slowest recorded RS3 at 4.22secs - you can make the list!

@@MrTroytroyall good as at the time of filming we thought it was quick enough for the top 10 so I stopped trying but just fell short lol.. was good fun either way :)

Dragy

Ehh, I sneeze faster.

I hear Dyson is making a vacuum cleaner that will clean floors in 2.5 seconds. You just turn it on and hang on......

Fuck battery cars and the batteries that cost more than a whole car and the damage they do to the environment in the process of getting the shit the make the battery is worse than the car emissions people are so retarded thinking they are the way forward.

Mate if your in aus let’s set it up! Shoot me a message on my socials

They are weapons - don’t think it will quite get that time on backroads though - maybe a 3 flat where as a Porsche turbo S probably will get that time

I’ve filmed a few aristo but no big power ones

Hopefully soon ;)@@RossReviewsau

Wow would love to see that

Wow impressive launch!

Shoot me a message

4 flat is impressive

@@RossReviewsau 100-200kmh takes 9.2s

Barra the world

Insane eh

Absolutely

Need to review one 👀

There have been faster cars some have proven 2seconds flat.. but it’s top to on the road with the dragy.. so couldn’t include them on a drag strip

Golf r does under 4.8 bone stock friend!

Agreed

Both those cars are 3.8 V6. What are you talking about. Lay off the pipe.

Couldn’t break the 4.2

@@RossReviewsauI would have kept trying if I knew hahaha

HSV look good on paper 😂

! @RossReviewsau Yeah but most of these ar modified .. a modified HSV VF GTSR W1 that's what I want to see.

The fastest HSV on Ross’s channel is a 770hp GTS LSA. It got 5.18secs and is the 33rd fastest car. HSVs, as a manufacturer, have one of the slowest average times across the 100odd tested by Ross

Good time!

Would love the chance!

That would be nice

🤣🤣🤣 i need a undies sponsor

@@RossReviewsau ITS GOTTA BE B#NDS. 👍

Agreed - it’s super consistent and the king of launching. Just a simple tune with an exhaust will improve that too

👀

more like 11 seconds you mean

Would have been wild

🤣

should make it seem slower.. as 60mph is like 97kph.. not quite 100kph

@@RossReviewsau yeah my point.. the number is higher

it's just you feeling darling. everyone with a brain knows it's just a different unit.

I agree the two dead stock 8v and 8y ive owned would easily do better. Something went wrong I think with its run

👌👌👌

Criminal ford never sent it world wide

Just outside the top 10 sadly lol

Fastest HSV is the 770hp GTS LSA. It got 5.18secs and is the 33rd fastest car. HSVs, as a manufacturer, have one of the slowest average times across the 100odd tested by Ross. The fastest Holden was the 800hp VF SS that got 4.57secs (20th fastest). To make the top ten - you’d need to beat Australia’s slowest recorded RS3 at 4.22secs.

Just our side the top we need some faster holdens

I don’t like teslas

Maybe he dont want to burst his bubbles...

They are real world tests.. not going for a world record ( just on backroads)

It’s just been beaten 👀 (badly)

👀 be wild

Correct traction wins races
