have you thought about trading it in while its still going to get a good number
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
He isn't whining or asking for 10 second 1/4's, he is simply stating that he thought there should be a difference between the 175 and 190. Give the guy a break. Its a reasonable request, otherwise why would they even have that option? I can't tell you the difference between the 175 and the 190 in performance because I have only driven the 190. My Dad owns a VY though and you can notice the difference, but then again that is the ecotec putting out 150kw compared to the Alloytec putting out 190kw. If it is still under warranty, I would take it to Holden. Its not going to cost you a dime and they drive these things all tehe time and should have diagnostic tools to see if there is anything wrong with it.
Holden boast it is a HIGH OUTPUT engine, I have the badge to prove it ! It is quite obvious now that the specs are all academic, and nothing more than marketing. It still seems like an extraordinary effort on Holdens part to add variable intake timing for such miniscule gains in power and torque, unless the result was unintentional and just poorly executed. It would be good to compare to another 190kw car in case I am just unlucky and got a dud.
Yea, high output compared to what though? An Excel?Holden boast it is a HIGH OUTPUT engine, I have the badge to prove it !
