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?

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

[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...

[Iggypoppin']

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

Exactly

[Dave R]

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

it's quick compared to a G6

i like seeing people get out there and have some fun, without worrying if people will make fun of them. might be a 14-sec Aurion today, in 5 years it might be a 6-sec full tube car. u gotta start somewhere.

14.5 for a stock pensioner sled is definitely quick, you just need to get a bit of perspective on things.

Spot on, particularly with stock suspension Falcons are just too heavy to tackle proper twisty roads, I drive a current Mazda3 every now and then and it would lunch my car on any twisty road!

If you openly admit a mazda will lunch your favourite car then you have not spent enough money on your driveline !!

Strange, I thought the discussion was about stock cars. Spend equivalent money on the driveline of the Mazda and it would probably still lunch a big barge of a falcon in the twisty stuff.

I've spent roughly $0 You are coming to the April 29th cruise yes? I think I need a demo of the Dazzler sled!

Amen to that. Two mates of mine have them, one with coilovers, they are definitely a formidable handler.

[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.

splitting hairs there! The common reference to it is just the Falcon

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
