    Default SV6 or SS

    Looking to upgrade from a VT. Not sure whether to go the SV6 or the V8?

    Would love to own a V8 but i reckon i would get a later model Supercharged 6 for the same sort of cash as a earlier model 8.

    I believe the SV6 has around 195kw, that'll hit the spot for power in my eyes. Love a wagon as well, anyone know if the VZ SV6 is available in a wagon. I know i can get a V8 Wagon.

    Would love some feedback on this.

    Cheers, Dazza.

    no SV6 wagons were made. maybe look into a berlina

    EDIT: everyone is going to tell you to get an 8.. it is an obvious choice

    V8 wagons are pricey but hold on to their value quite good but if fuel continues going north then you might pick one up cheaper than you think!

    LS1 for sure, but if you go for an 6 cylinder make sure it's the alloytec 190 (or was it 195?).

    go the v8 mate. alloytec is meh. fuel usage isnt majorily different, get the 8 tuned and it will use the same or less than the alloytec donk.
