It wasn't as impressive as the figures show. Maybe with the extra weight they have gained, the VE has done a BA - higher output from previous model+extra weight=less performance. .... or maybe the guy just couldn't drive ....Going by my experience I'd say a stock Typhoon would easily account for one and a stock XR6T would be line ball.

Looking at their specs the maximum torque doesn't come in till well after 4000rpm whereapon I reckon the T would up & gone, even the XR8 max's at 4000rpm.

I drove a Senator the other week and damn this thing was quick.

He seemed as if he was in his 20's so I suggested we have a race and he said NO!! Maybe he wasnt sure his brand new SS would beat a now 4 year old T...... I dunno....

F6 was quicker but R8 handled better. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31643-ve-commodore-ss270kw-530nm/#findComment-484331 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how the BA is a FAR SURPERIOR car than its previous model and is quicker also,just go's to show how much better engineered the BA/BF range are over the previous model just as the VE's are over VZ'sBy the way did'nt the AU pick up more power and weight than the EL series Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31643-ve-commodore-ss270kw-530nm/#findComment-484380 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder I own the T. I think the VE would struggle off the mark but eventually catch up and go right by.
