Cars that look slow but are secretly fast

>>16128070
I drive a G8 GXP and it looks a lot less like a Malibu than the SS. its a much better sleeper, but at the same time the "SS" badge kind of gives it away.. definitely has to be debadged

>>16128070
How does it exactly look slow? I've seen these in the wild and they don't blend in as well as you think

>>16128112
to someone that isn't on this board, this car looks like a glorified Malibu. of course anyone whos into cars knows exactly what it is.

>Slower than 180hp shit box silvias
>2000kg and loses half its power to the wheels
It looks and performs like a fat slow turd

>>16128158
Being that the 240s are all more than 20 years old, I highly doubt that most can even achieve their advertised 0-60 time of 9 seconds.

I'm pretty sure my G8 will be there in half of that time.

both are the same car essentially
the G8 GXP and the SS are both Holden Commodores built on the same chassis with LS2's
the SS is a VF commodore whereas the G8 is a VE commodore

>>16128235

Short gearing makes them quick, not fast. They're dogs on the highway with 200hp.

It looks like a generic early 90's yuropoor executive sedan with some silly tuning bits, but it's actually a Lotus-propelled twin turbo missile and is pretty damn quick even today.

>>16128349
It was the fastest production sedan until the CTS-V came out in 2004. 14 years isn't a bad streak at all for holding a title of fastest X.

Not the most pull at highway speeds, but off of a line they're fun as fuck

>>16128246
I think the ss is LS3. And I doubt the g8 would have had an LS2, more than likely L77 or L98 6 litre AFM/DOD motors

>>16128112
Irl the new ss look actually really fucking cool. Kinda has the sti vibe going on, squarey but aggressive.

Only problem is they usually have shitty chrome wheels

For a heavy as fuck, ultra luxury full size sedan. This thing is a fucking monster. Literally didn't know how fast these things were until 2014

What about these things?

Can be made even quicker very easily and cheaply too

>>16128235
i just bought a gt for 2k, fucking great cars. with a bigger rear sway bar and some good tires you'd never know youre driving a station wagon.

>>16128070
Yeah because the fucking SSV badges dont give it away at all in their home country

>>16128079
fucking wat

>>16129240

But without their v8.. they're literally a whale on wheels. 1.8 tonne lol

>>16129029
These cars are seriously quick of the line too. With 700nm it can tear up any road it wants. It's really a beast and puts Wraith and S-Class coupes to shame.

The GT3-R variant (lighter and less comfortable Continental) did 0-60 in under 3.6 seconds.

The SuperSports variant which was released in 2010 did 0-60 in under 3.8 seconds.

Why are Camrys so fucking fast yet the FRS is slow as shit?

The Camry looks slow and goes fast, FRS is the opposite

There was a faster variant called the RZ. Dunno if you guys got it in the US. I drove it here in Dubai and it's significantly faster than a regular Camry.

>>16129279
V6 camry drivers in nc drive worse than bmw fags.

>>16129279
Dunno if the RZ they sell in the middle east is different from the aus RZ, but the RZ they sell here is literally they put some sicc black rims and black trim highlights on an i4 camry, with like a 5hp boost. It is no faster than a garden variety shopping cart Camry.

VF II Commodore/SS uses an LS3,

VE II Commodore/G8 uses the LS2

VE/VF I's use the L77/L98 Holden engines

>>16128962
If it matches the australian spec
The GXP (VE) was the first commo with the LS2 besides a special run of the previous model (VZ)
The chevy SS (VF) had the LS2 whereas the facelift (VF2 as my ute pictured) has the LS3

thats if they follow the australian engine specs

>>16129485
I think the series two G8s had an LS3.

Surprised it hasn't fallen apart by the time it reaches top speed

>>16128112
To the eyes of the average non car enthusiast commuter it's not that easy to spot.

You can get 14 pounds of boost with the stock hairdryer that comes with the B230 turbo

Came to post this. It's badged as a Vauxhall in the UK which came in VXR spec with big wheels and a body kit or Elite spec which was more comfort orientated and looked exactly like the base model.

>>16128143
They do. I see commodores everywhere and even the v8 ones never seem that fast. It's because they are all autos owned by fat old cunts because a v8 commo is the car you buy when you have a bit of money in NZ. Then one day you see one do an actual pull, the ls roars and it hauls ass. Then you realise, oh yeah those things have nearly 400hp but for some reason I just forgot

>>16132043
It's slower but not exactly slow when overheating. It locks you to about 200kW, or 270HP. It can still cruise near its max speed with the limit enabled, it just takes longer to get there
