Vz Sv6 or Calais ?

[Trayner]

Hey guys ,

Ive been thinking its time for an update from the vs

and Ive sorta narrowed it down to 2 sorta cars

Ether the VZ sv6 or calais v6 (still on P plates)

Which is better then the other ?
I know that they have like the same 190kw engine and that

but what would people choose based on the 2 ?

depends on budget, needs etc, if you can source an sv6 with all the fittings of a calais then go for that, sv6 has stiffer suspension and spoiler etc if your after that

 

[richardpalinkas]

depends what you want it for, for more luxury, get the calais because it has all the nifty things like climate control etc. if performance, id look elsewhere than a vz...

 

[Trayner]

Not really after leather seats or duel zone climate control , so there not really a big deal

More oriented to performance

Btw , will be getting a raptor kit or turbo for it when P's are up so thats a factor to play too

 

[Slipper]

there is no real performance difference that i know of other than suspension wise, so it comes down to whether you are looking for the extra luxuries from the calais, or to save money with the sv6

before you settle down on the trusty old alloytec i suggest you speak to those who have tried modifying them.. a lot of money has been spent with very little reward, if your chasing super peformance, take my word for it, there are better motors to be spent on... i know no one like to hear it, me also, but get a V8 first up! better bang for buck.

This also includes the raptor kit. qouted 235kw lucky to find 200kw. You will be chasing your tail...

out of the two sv6 or calais, spend the $$ on a calais, having owned a sv6 myself, i think the calais are much more luxury, unless u want manual, yet again, the manual gearbox aint to crash hot either lol...

deff what impulsive said, out of the 2, id just get the sv6, looks nicer IMO, but really up to you, they both have the same performance, depends what looks nicer to you
