Hey. Just wandering quickly... does anyone know if a P plater in Victoria would be legally allowed to drive a VT XU6? Or does anyone know teh weight and KW so i could do the math?

Also.. what are Supercharged cars like on economy? Any help much appreciated

VX II Sedan 4dr Auto 4sp 3.8S

VT II Sedan 4dr Auto 4sp 3.8S

Kerb Weight 1644kg

Power 180kW @ 5000rpm

VIC legal limits P platers to 125kw per tonne

so

power(kW)/weight(Kg) * capacity(litres) = kW per tonne

therefor

180/1644 * 1000 = 109.5 kW per tonne.

Totally legal, being there has been no mods done to the engine :thumbsup:

Thanks thats wicked. Anyone know what they are like on fuel economy?

 

[Charg'd]

they are legal to drive, they are 180kw stock, and they are pretty good on fuel, depending on how you drive

 

[lockmac]

get it they are a very nice car
should have no problems getting cos u r on your p's
economy wise not too much more than a standard v6 maybe 1-2 litres per 100k more.
