Corona RT142 Forums Junkie Location: Campbelltown Registered: November 2003	Re: has neone with a corona beaten a 96 commy ute series 1 Wed, 17 November 2004 02:15 The performance figures for the old holden engined utes are around 0-100 in 8+ seconds, this is from back issue of motor. I'm not a moron a realise that utes have no weight over the rear wheels and I didn't suggest me racing one. I think the figures in motor were recorded with an automatic though as that is all they could access at the time and most of the utes are sold in. Bad tryes don't think so brand new press vehcile. The old holdens were never really known to be fast off the line just a great roll on acceleration vehicle. The ute never got the improved holden v8 and thus was stuck with 168kw. Remember it weighed around 1400-1450 kg meaning it doesn't really have a great power to weight ratio, match this with one of the worst automatic gearboxes around and you have a pretty sluggish car. Before holden got the gen111 and fords around the same time the 6cyl generally out performed the eights because of less weight and the fact that both had live rear axles and when putting slightly less power through you actually were able to come off the line cleaner. Remember the old v8s have a stack of torque down low and thus wheelspin far more than even a gen111 of the line which doesn't produce serious power until above 4000rpm.
