You'd assume they would put the GM 6-speed in to match the BF.

Holden have to keep some goodies for the VE

If they can put the big 6L into the cross8,why cant they do it to the Adventra?????

holden isnt as stupid as Ford where the XR6 Turbo is a better package that the FPV Typhoon and FPV GT variants. you can spend a couple of thousand on a XR6T and have going quicker than any of the FPV models and it will still be cheaper than buying the FPV

Prodrive or FPV actually put different internals in their motors. This is why you cant get BOSS290 in a XR8. Going by your reasoning a simple edit will give this base 6.0L the same power and torque as the LS2.

All I was trying to say is that the peak torque rpm is too high. If it was lower around the 3300rpm than it would bet better. The car will feel like a slug otherwise.

The Adventra is now V6-only - permanently.
