[NSW] SV6 P-Plater Legal?

[SVNDR]

Looking at getting a turismo blue VZ SV6 within the month, some websites are saying its only P-plater legal in QLD, SA & VIC. I swear ive seen P-platers with SV6s before?

Don't see why an SV6 would be illegal, heavy car with a N/A 6.....you should be fine

Unless your looking at S/C V6 (supercharged V6) on the page....that gets a lot of people

NA V6 is legal

Legal.

There was a time that the SIDI's were over the 200kw limit, but holden got that changed.

Yes SV6 is definetely legal for p-platers

VZ SV6 Alloytec either come in 175kW or 190kW variants. My best mate has one, grey sedan manual, goes alright. QLD Transport has upped the maximum power output for P-platers to 210kW to accommodate for the new VE 3.6L SIDI V6s. What a joke I reckon.

But back to point, the SV6 you are looking at is definitely legal for you to purchase/drive.

A standard exec vz motor is 175kw..
An SV6 on the other hand comes standard 190kw..

Im pretty sure .

Correct! That is true yes, but a VZ Commodore Executive is still the Alloytec 175. SV6 is the Alloytec 190. Even the VZ Calais had the Alloytec 190s.

Yer I know lol =]

Wish I knew that when I got my SVZ , mines only 175kw.

Cheers for the info guys! Putting a deposit on it tomorrow. Should be mine by the end of next week. I was looking at a VE SV6 at the dealers across the road but turned around to see the VZ only $1.5k cheaper but i couldnt resist. Here come the long days and sleepless nights until i have it parked in my driveway!
