When you drive these V8 machines, they put a smile on your dial....Rest of the range boring thou..Oh G6ET is priced well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF probably wins in the handling department but in the real world driver ability is going to effect any potential match up more rather than the knifes edge performance of each car.

Driving pleasure, and comfort sometimes win hands down IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
