6 litre V6! Hows that for cylinder capacity!

It's a misprint. The new SS will be getting the 6 litre (LS2) V8.

"Importantly though, it will not be the same 297kW LS2 6.0 litre engine found inside the flagship HSV range."

I did hear on a grape vine that Expensive Daewoo maybe bring out a sv6 turbo to compete with Ford. Good luck I say :3gears:

Gee I hope that they also do some body \ suspention work to the damn thing before they put a turbo version out... The SV6 is an OK car to drive (funny enough a little hairy at 100km/h, no where near as stable as the XR's, which is strange considering the one I drove was a newy...) and it looks as boring as :sofa: .

I would hate to take an SV6 in it's current form beyond 100... :tease: or have to actually corner...

I thought the ECOTEC 190 was already close to max. from what I heard. A young engineer here at work just bought one 2 days ago and the first day he drove it to work he came saw me and asked how he could get more power out of it already. I tried to talk him into a T but being 203 cm tall found it hard to get in and out of the ford. Took him for a spin in the phoon to show him what a six cylinder should feel like and he is spewing about the SV6 now... He is already looking at buying a TC for it with 600 km's on the clock....
