Not like a manufacturer to exagerate some figures.I.B.Why would you believe the one eyed biased crap they write. They said the VE was a fantastic car AND FULLY JUSTIFIED A BILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT. Drive one and you soon realise it's just another piece of rattly over rated plasticy crap box. Who says there is no favouritism in Journalism.

Should be placing an order on one hopefully within 2 months of it being released. Obviously gotta drive one first before I make the final decision but im looking forward to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a long wait before I get to drive them, and then an even longer wait when I wait for my order to come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FG-XR6T Member 177 Member For: 16y 9m 4d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 02/04/08 07:56 AM Share Posted 02/04/08 07:56 AM Going back to the comparo between FG XR6T and the VE SS. The cost difference is minimal. Infact I think for a manual the FG is just $500 more than the VE SS. Mechanically wise the XR6T trumps the SS without doubt. Also in the interior, the SS looks so boring after seeing the new XR6T. I thinkford have done a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like a manufacturer to exagerate some figures.I.B. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. You are so funy.We all know how honest and acurate the magazine figures are .Are these the same magazines who expect us to beleive an SS is faster than a HSV, or that a 302kW GT is slower than an XR8?The only real figures are those you find on the forums with time slips. Incidentally, those very figures for stock cars on this forum tend to be a fair bit quicker than the magazines, yet the stock times on LS1 tend to be slower.

I have had some scary moments behind the wheel in Holden's. V series Commodore's have a restricter in the power steering that under high load would cause the power steering hose to blow off. This is not a fun thing to happen when you are blasting around a sweeping right hander at 200km/h, and I know I happened to me, this was removed on ALL cars that we got after this. When you bought a HSV you where invited out to us to have a few hot laps, much like the fpv drive days but not as good. Ever seen a 1000km old GTS monaro put a piston through the block, I wasn't driving but it happened on the same 200km/h corner, locked up the back wheels sent him spinning off, he managed to gather it up though. We nearly had 1 car out of action every week due to problem's, not always mechanically. all the cars had orange peel through the paint on at least 1 part of the paint, and they to do get brake shudder, even the hsv's. none of the glove boxes sit straight and very often the latches brake. seats and carpets fade really bad. I could go on but I wont im not here to Expensive Daewoo bash as my car has had problems to, and don't even start me on my truck, but all cars will have problems but from my own personal experience Holden's have very bad build quality issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
