VX-VT or VZ?

[VN Lukey]

hi guys, im looking for a new car, im debating on a VX-VT supercharged V6 or VZ V6 (175kw version)

what do u guys think of the VZ, it there any comon problems or anything i should know? are they a good engine compared to Eco-tech?

cheers guys,

I've driven both and i would rather the VZ

i find anything with an ecotec agricultural, alloytec is so much smoother nicer sounding and more refined than an ecotec

with my old VT, when i thrashed it i felt bad as it felt rough.

The VZ feels much more free revving and hell of a lot smoother.

Technological Advancements always bring Improvements.
Unless you have a specific reason as to why you would want a VX, a VZ is a no-brainer.

more advanced engine: yes. without its problems: no.

The only real problems with them are thier inherent ability to kill timing belts, and the fact that thier aftermarket is no-where near the eco's, and the eco will be cheaper to maintain. Plus VY/VZ's just look like thier trying to hard (they is ugly!!!), but then i'm biased :whistling

I reckon the VY/VZ looks pretty sleek and classy IMO, obviously once again im biased lol. but i reckon they have nice lines and the vx/vt shape looks a bit outdated. now the VE that is trying a bit too hard...personally i like the VE's look but it is a bit much.

Engine-wise...i got no clue in the difference, never driven a 175kw alloytec or a charged vt/vx

The Alloytec doent have a timing belt.

The Alloytec doent have a timing belt.

...... my bad should've said chain. Also forgot to say that they are a POS!
I haven't driven a VZ, but the VE's I have driven were hunks of junk, and I'm glad i didn't buy one.

It's really upto you but if you want to chase power at some stage than get something with an L67 in it, because word on the street is the alloytec won't keep up.

+1 to that. Im also a bit biased too since I drive a VZ... but I could have afforded a VE but I just felt they were trying too hard. I think the VZ just looks sleek
