Seems to be the current trend for most car manufactures these days to increase displacement as well as power. Funny how no one seems to phased by the whole ‘global warming’ and looking at emissions outputs :O they harp on about it all the time yet clearly don’t seem to do much to help. Were following the whole us style ‘bigger is better’
Ill just stick to my ‘ricers’ and forced induction

and funny enough, the fuel economy is the same if not better than the 5.7L engine...

I've said this before, and I'll say this again.

If Holden get their sh!t together and consider a sports wagon* of some description, be it 6.2L, 7.0L or friggin 72L. I'll consider it.

But it'll never happen. They're simply friggin agricultural vehicles. A simple ass tractor with a big motor.





*decent power. decent handling. decent braking. decent wagon!


bleh.

Word on the grape vine is that a HSV wagon is on the cards, if this is the case it will get the better suspension (possibly MRC which really does make these things handle well) big brakes and the LS3 317Kw 6.2L Engine

Thats all I know for now

From my experiences with the VE (Reasonably Limited) they do seem to have a much better build quality then previous model Commodores, time will tell but :ninja:

And then you have these guys: Hartley Enterprises

Who manage to get about 300kW out of 2.8L of NA. :neo:

I didn't say they were cheap :Derisive: but they sure are cool. I think that power is at 7500rpm. Would be good fun in a TA22 celica or something :neo:

You fella's need to realise.
Those V8's may "Only" make 317kw. But they do it just off idle.
Therefore there is diddly stress on the engine and other parts.

Yeah thats what i meant mate.

The difference between a big v8 engine, and the turbo 4's is staggering.
Not to say the Turbo Subaru's aren't good. Far from it.
They're just two completely different beasts.
