To all Member That Don't Drive A Commodore, What Do You Drive:

[50LTRv8]

EF Series 2 Ghia for me

Quite a nice car to drive, pitty a repair job hasn't been done properly and is now looking a worse for wear.

Still, good for a daily though

would have to very much disagree with you there i reckon the ford 6 has to be pushed hard to get the power but the alloytec is very punchy, also my work has 2 utes- a ba ute& ve ute both 6's and the ve is soooo much better to drive& is way more powerful, i asked parts bloke who used to drive the ba and got the ve brand new what he thought between the 2 and coming from a bloke who couldnt give a rats bum hole about cars said the commodore is light years ahead of the ford, but then again each to their own but also i should mention that the torque control on the alloytecs is annoying as you kind off have to work out the throttle but id love to trade the exec& go for a svz or lumina- 190kw yes please :thumbsup:

No offence but comparing BA to VE isn't very fair, they were made in different years so it would prob be better to compare BF vs VE.

BA
Power:182kW @ 5000rpm
Torque: 380Nm @ 3250rpm

BF
Power: 190kW @ 5250rpm
Torque: 383Nm @ 2500rpm

These are for the XR6 variants but just shows even though they practically look the same they have had a revisions between the two models.

Don't get me wrong I'm not taking sides either way just not a fair comparison :thumbsup:

Love the Benz's.. :yeah:

Mack CH Elite by day, 2003 CV8R Monaro by night. Yeah I know it's a Commodore derivative, but thats just a technicality. And there's the thrasher EA Falcon wagon shopping trolley, just to remind us how much better we Holden heads have it over the other mob.
