To be expected, I would say. Bucky - even the V8s get done sometimes.

JeffAU1 - Not sure why you're depressed. As I6corp said, they were performance cars. That'd be like me lining up against a Ferrari. I know I'll get done, so why let it get to me when it happens LOL. I'm always chasing cars that are wayyyy out of my league and get done big time but I don't let it depress me or get to me. Why would I? I'm chasing someone with 250rwkw compared to my 139? Bah! LOL. And I tell ya what, there's not a chance in hell that I'd ever give up my 6 for an 8 just because the guy next to me is quicker. Not a chance in hell!! Throw a few mods in. You won't be the fastest but it'll make you feel a bit better I guess

I have a 6 like you but i have put extractors 2.5" exhaust on it and it does make a diffrence but somone will always be faster.
Today i put the XR6 turbo snorkle on and was not expecting anything but the throtle response is much better and the engine feels free. Cheap mod

Glennyy mate ever since you got that manual in your shoving it in everybodys face LOL
- Start off with doing some mods to your air intake, after that the rest will eventually come once you get hooked to doing mods, it's gotta be the best addiction on earth :P

if you can't beat em join em..... turbo conversion is your best and cheapest option
or you can go after the sleeper option and spend your $$$ which everway you go im sure you wont be disappointed and just be happy with wat you have .... you call being beaten by Liberty, XR6 and GTS Bommodore depressing mate no way near as having a car that has all the Blings and no Go.... if i still had my car would have invited you to cruise .... you difinetly would've understood my point. love what you have and just simply dont drag em ..... its what i used to do anyways, because it was obvious who would get most the attention at the next lights, anyways .... good lucks and cheer up mate cheers harris
