Damn Aurion vs G6 in a 0-60 dash!

[shb]

Can the aurion really beat a G6 at traffic lights take off? Ive been reading about it?I know the aurion has a wee bit more HP than the G6 even though the G6 has more torque! I know from stand-starts,even 4cyl honda accords can take off faster as they are much lighter but later on the G6 takes over but the speed limit kills it all.

[Ben73]

Apparently the quickest Aurion is 0-100 in 6.8 while a non turbo G6 is 7.3 - 100kmh
So yes, Apparently. I drove a brand new Aurion and was impressed and surprised with hos quick it was.

[vztrt]

Its also about 110kg lighter then the Falcon.

[Barry_v]

..and a V6 tarago would blitz them both.

[malazn mafia]

G6 With ZF should obliterate the Aurion. Does Aurion have a 5 or 6 speed?

[Mr Hardware]

six. aurion has less weight, more power and less drivetrain loss

[malazn mafia]

doesn't an FG produce over 200 killer wasps when running on 98 octane? If the FG was running crap fuel, then the aurion may get the lead..

[Professor Farnsworth]

not sure why peoples' pride seems to be hurt when they find out another brand can beat their car. It's called power to weight as already mentioned.. I had an '85 corona that was only a fraction slower than my dad's 5 speed BA. Who cares?

[FPV GTHO]

Yes, but again the Aurion weighs alot less.

[uranium_death]

I didn't buy a Falcon because I wanted the fastest 0-100 stock 6-cylinder around...
As a full package, it's a great car.

Given that one should not be taking off at the lights in a drag, who really cares whether the Aurion is faster or not in a straight line?

I love my Falcon and even if Toyota, Skoda or Datsun have a faster alternative, I don't care...

I had an XW Falcon 250 4 speed and I got hosed by a V6 Capri, how do you think *I* felt >:-(

[Iggypoppin']

Everyone who buys a G6 or an Aurion buys it for the amazing speed of course....

[Dave R]

They would be neck and neck. The Aurion is a quick unit, I've seen 14.5 second passes stock.

[Ben73]

But the G6 is a G6 and the Aurion is an Aurion....
I dont care how fast the Aurion is I know what I'd pick.

The G6 is also the name of a Jet. I would have thought the Ford G6 would at least live up to its name . Maybe they should have left the name 'Fairmont', for the old fashioned comfy cruiser that it really is.

I'll give it 24 hours before Adrenaline argues that point with you

[uranium_death]

Now I'm feeling so fly...like a G6?

Upon first hearing that chorus when browsing the radio.. didn't realise it was a song. I swear I thought it was some funky new jingle from Ford about the G6

[1TUFFUTE]

what if its raining??? or the car has 3/4 passengers???or a trailer...

[Buntz]

FWD will always have that edge right off the line. But the Falcon will get out in front of about 50-70 metres of that race.

That's if the Aurion hasn't torque steered into you or a traffic light pole.

[mik]

i`d put money on it the aurion has diff ratio to suit fast take off , like a mitsu 380, different car different gearing, would be very little in it once the falc gets rolling i would think.

[nasss92]

well iv got an untouched g6, 5 spd auto.. n have definitely out accelerated aurions to the speed limit. on bp 98 or v power ofcours

Where did you find an Aurion driver willing to challenge you to a drag race, just curious......

The car park of the local Bowls Club at 10am on a Sunday morning.

I have a company car aurion and a BA fairmont.

The aurion is very quick, its first gear is like someone smacks you across the face with a large fish. After that it still pulls well.

The BA wont get it 0-60 but after that i think its got it covered. Maybe a 6spd auto falcon would be in the hunt off the line

Does anyone wanna line up the aurion at eastern creek to settle this? Its a company car and i get free fuel and servicing so i dont care if it cops a hammering at the drags.

[EgoFG]

I am not too fit, but I reckon I could beat any australian manufactured car across the lights on my repco 12 speed.
