    Default VQ V6s?

    I was just wondering if there are many VQ V6s about? There was a Series 2 VQ V6 in the wreckers the other day and it got me thinking that i'm pretty sure all the other VQs i'd seen before have been V8s. Is the VQ V6 a rare beast or am I just crap at noticing what engine is in the ones I see?

    VR/VS had V6 & V6S/C option.

    I didnt think VQ's ever came V6?? If they did must have been a series 2 VQ only thing.

    There are heaps of VQ V6's I've even been in one , not sure what the percentage was but I'd guess 20% or 25%? are V6

    Sometimes you can get really nice V8 VQ's on ebay for 3,000 flat, but 1800 is a deal just for the posh bits alone

    VQ S1's were just 5.0Ls, the V6's were brought in S2, dont really see many with the 6's in em but, and im pretty sure the super 6's were only brought in the VS not the VR

    Whenever you see one in the wreckers it's nearly always stripped bare I was suprised the V6 I posted about was still pretty intact when I saw it!
