I think the VN might beat it, but the VE is brand new and I would rather that any day.

VE Calais ftw.:yeah:












They should've released a VE Calais Turbo, in honour of the famous VL Calais Turbo.

i honetly think the ve's look shocking! compaired to recent ones! the only reason why i would get one is for the 6ltr v8! they look too much like a jap car i think, thats what i thort when i went up close to one

Fair enough.

The VE's copped alot of flack, since it's release.

I guess the new look, is too much for some people, to absorb.

The only thing that spoils the sports models (Like the SV6, SS, SS V etc) is the wing. Without the wing, it would look so much better. IMO

i think it looks good.. its just hard trying to remember its a commodore

i like classics my self, if i had the cash id get a torana or a old monaro but i dont have the $$ to keep one of those things on the road... i prefer having a calais tho... its only like what 50-60kg heavier but has power windows, a good interior, trip comp cruize ect.. ill just have to compensate by dumping more power into it

ohhh hozy why did u start this thread.. lol its gonna be like the "can a vn beat a VT " thread... NEVER ENDING!!!!!! and no one cna be bothered giving time slips to prove either side

Well stock for stock vn wont beat VE
Modified with mayb 115rwkw? Im guessing thats 15.7territory and the vn should beat it.

my god the VE calais v6 is pretty quick..... finally they did some engine work????

 

[1991_Vn2nV]

Yeah its weird that the Calais is quicker than the SV6 down the quarter... Calais is heavier?

The SV6 might have been a manual, the 6 speed auto is a pretty good bit of gearbox in a straight line it seems, looks like it's better at shifting than Joe average wheels tester
