    • OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear.

    • HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.

    • TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

    didn't wheels or other test this??
    sidi beat the xr6 down the quarter with a 14.4@ 162 ~ versus 14.7 @ 159

    something like that.

    Someone on the Ford forums was talking about it, I don't think it was under 7 seconds but it was slightly faster than the Falcon. Edit actually Wheels made 0-100km/h 6.46sec, 0-400m 14.6. Pretty impressive, must be the first time a Holden 6 could run under 15 seconds since the XU1

    the 6 speed autos poo all over the manuals now... they are really responsive and do actually shift when they are told to, not a few seconds after like the 5 speeds

    I've had my SIDI sportswagon for a month now and with 2250km on it I took it to the creek last Wednesday, 25/11/09 to see what they really do and give myself a base to compare too.

    It pulled consistent 15.3 seconds at 149km/h in full auto and a best of 15.4 seconds in manual mode, and slower changing earlier and later than where the auto changes.

    I also put it over a weigh bridge with approximately 200km of fuel in it and it weighed 1820kg with a almost perfect weight distribution, 900kg front and 920kg rear, so a heavy girl but a well balanced one.

    I'm quite happy with the vehicle, it's now tinted and debadged but I would like to drop it a inch, throw on a K&N filter, chip it, a nice stereo (has anyone put a aftermarket head unit in their VE?) and maybe a exhaust system - although these may have to wait for a while for me to afford them.

    I could swear I've had my MY 2011 VE sv6 0-100 in under 7.
    I used the sports shift / active select.
    I have had it 0-100 in 7 something several times without touching the floor.

    I would suggest they can climb to 100 in under 7 no prob.


    EDIT: Sooo sorry- just actually looked at the dates on this thread :/

    mods pls delete my post if it's a pain in the arse.

    I ran 15.203 @ 152 in my alloytech 0-100 is pretty quick for a v6. I reckon if I took out spare wheel, subs and 2nd battery could have gotten a high 14
