I owned fords (with the exception of my Charger which I still have) since the mid 80s. This year I purchased a second hand MY8.5 Calais V 6ltr and I am extremely impressed. I have fitted Direct Injected LPG as well as investing in a dyno tune, cold air intake and extractors. She now puts out 260rwkw (c320kw at the flywheel) and over 610NM. With direct injected gas I get between 400 & 500km out of a tank of gas for between $45-50(depending on how hard I hit the loud pedal). Very well spec’d vehicle and the way it drives and handles it is a credit to Aussie engineering. The Ford G6ET is also a brilliant car but was a little out of my price range at the time. All this Holden and Ford rivalry is rubbish both are great Aussie cars.

So as to convince the leader of the government in the upper house that a v8 is OK do you have any figues for a VE SS manual ?

@$$CLOWN, who cares, when you die you will have done nothing but caught a bus and have a few dollars in the bank, i will have had a great V8 SSV and enjoyed ever second of driving it, and apart from buying this car i still by around $50K in shares each year.

Reporter DO SOME RESEARCH FOOL, YOU MAKE YOURSELF LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT. $6K more gives you LEATHER INTERIOR, 19inch rims, projector headlights, flasher tail lights.built in GPS navigation, and a few other niceties

I used to be a ford fan in the old days until about 74 when the bodies started rusting, the cams packed up, 2v or 4v heads that would crack. Even now there are few models that would match holden reliability.Holden have not produced as many lemons as ford. I recently bought a 2007 ve ssv with leather seats, sunroof, rear dvd players, dual climate control etc etc for $30Gs.It’s a bloody nice car and handles well. A 2000 model ss was selling at the yard for $20Gs. If I can keep my car for another 7 years and get that sort of resale then it’s been a bloody cheap car. The 6ltr chev motor has plenty of grunt with potential to draw heaps more from it. I get annoyed when I see fords now coming out in the same shade of green and now with the same body striping. I call them holden wannabees. All that aside generally speaking a standard motor will last longer than a turbo’d motor cause it’s not as stressed. When the XR6 turbo’s are dead and gone, my chev powered holden will probably still be going.
