    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:

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

    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.
