Are you looking at factory supercharged or an after market set up?

 

[joelguseli]

Factory but am planning to do some of the easier mods like cold air, exhaust, and pulleys so I can hopefully keep up with my brother who just bought a Vy SS
(my dream car… PUNK!!)

i think petty wise it is cheaper to get an 8 i think thats what ive been told by my mate who used to have a VT supercharged but if u really want it only thing i dont like about my vy is the steering wheel shudder other than that awesome car to drive

 

[joelguseli]

Oh really steering wheel shudder I have never heard of that... Is it bad? You mean like the wheel shake’s slightly from side to side on idle?

how much u planning to spend?

 

[Joey_21]

if its round the 14-17k mark id advise u to get an sv8 only way your gunna keep up is to have the same engine you wont get anywhere near him in a super 6

nah its not that bad what happens is at really really slow speeds like say when reversing out of your driveway and turning the sterring wheel it shudders thats it nothin big but i get annoyed at everythin haha

 

[joelguseli]

Ok no worries thanks!

Properly not heaps but not sure if I want an 8 now that he has 1. I have heard if you do the air intake, exhaust and pulleys it in standard 8 territory?
