    can a Disco out-handle an XR6?

    Had my hire car upgraded to an XR6 the other day, and was rather amazed to find it had considerably more body roll than my ACE-equipped Disco... Having said that, after two days in an XR6, it's definitely time to go the power upgrade on the TD5...

    In my book nope, and I should know, I have both . Must admit I have never experienced body roll in the XR6 and I have had it close to the limit,

    LOL. You must have a tight Disco.

    I had a D2 with ACE and also have an XR6T. Yes, I agree with you, I have always thought the suspension on the XR6 is a bit soft and it definitely rolls a bit.

    I has an Asian mate in my Ace D2 over the weekend and his one for these boy racer type with electronic suspension gizmo from 5 zegan thing I think his suspension is worth as much as his car but he is a pro drifter he was amazed to how well the D2 handled

    pitty it probibly wont handle the same after the suspension mods

    As to the original question, can a Disco outhandle an XR6? Well that all depends on who's driving them.

    anyone who thinks a 4wd can out handle a falcodore... is kidding themselves..

    A standard xr6 has the same suspension as a normal falcon, the xr8/t has the upgraded.

    I am willing to hire a track, you bring your d2/d3 etc etc and I will bring a xr6, a stock commadore, and if you beat me, I will give you 10k

    Else you pay the 10k..
