No, not going to bite. But it's a larf to think about.

Parked next to my VS III ute V6/auto is an FG XR6 ute turbo/auto. Power difference of adding the V8 to the VS, and a little more.

While I like the VS as it's a nice little goer, there's no way on earth I'd want to drive it with power the FG has. Just no.

But good luck with it all the same.
