What's Better? Tuned XR6T Or Cammed SS.. This Is What Happened

[@Xlerv8]

Nice comparo Ross, each develops the power in its own way. The barra just sounds menacing, while the burble of the cammed V8 sounds mean. Thanks for bringing it to us!

[@RossReviewsau]

Thanks brother definitely 2 awesome cars in their own ways

[@spaghetti941]

Had plenty of both types of cars. V8s and turbos. Both special and fun in their own way. I'm actually a JDM fan so in general I'm all over turbos but I must say there's something extra unique and special about sitting in a v8. Most especially when it's cammed. It gives this sense of power that nothing else does. The sound, the car shaking on idle from that big v8 motor with that deep bass rumble. Nothing else like it. Also the torque pull from low of rpms is quite satisfying.

[@RossReviewsau]

Lumpy cams are always so fun

[@cloutdrilla8786]

The Barra engines nothing like any regular high revving Japanese turbo motor has torque too coming from owning a 5.0l vp commodore to owning a bf xr6t the Barra engines much better

You’ll find a ve omega series 2 stock will rip the pants off a xr6 and as for the turbo you throw a turbo into a series 2 ve omega, you’ll quickly find it chops ves you’re welcome,

[@deputycartman]

Honestly, I can respect that. 👍🏻 At least do an SV6 though, the Omega is really ugly in my opinion but you don’t have to agree with me on that.

[@deputycartman]

Also I’m not sure if you’re entirely right on that, because the Barra definitely has a reputation for being fast where the V6 does not.

Two really nice cars, Ross. Thought the turbo’s 0-100 might have been quicker than the SS but not much in it. Both cars would be really nice to own. Both sounded really good. Another great review. Thanks Ross.

[@lloydchristmas2326]

I knew the LS would put a better 0-100 down , it’s common for LS to get the jump , and Barra bringing it home .. which leads to quicker ET’s at the drag strip !

[@Beer_Dad1975]

​@@lloydchristmas2326 Getting the power down has always been a problem with the Falcon - on a prepped strip with suitable tyres of course the XR6-T would dominate the SS utterly.

[@byza101]

The turbo needs to be spooled up to get lift off. Speaking from experience. I had the xr6 turbo..0-100 I thought it was slow 80-180 was phenomenal… fuck I miss it

[@dwarfwarria]

Manual is at least half a sec slower than auto. Mine stock will do 4.9

[@braddeicide]

Late model Holden's also have softer rear suspension which helps then off the line but lowers their towing capacity.

[@gmholden63]

I wasnt a massive fan of the ve when i was younger. My parents had a 60th anniversary commodore and i hated it. But my opinion changed when i found my series 2 ss wagon, friggin love that thing. Still relatively stock atm kind of reminds me of my first car but way more grunt

[@RossReviewsau]

Yup tires make a big difference 100%

[@hughjanis8051]

Was always a Ford guy, hated on Holden for so long. After selling my BF xr6t 2 years ago I decided to look into a commodore and settled on a fully optioned 04 VY Series II Ls1 Manual HBD with just 64.000kms , and ill tell you what ill never look back. Its slower yes ( by a fair bit ) but as for driving experience the SS is so much more enjoyable. Done the usual Higgins Heads and large Crow cam + supporting mods and its makes a healthy 300+rwkw. Cosmo purple with colour matched leather, just hit the 80.000kms. Best car I've ever owned but financially not the smartest car to be driving to work 5 days a week. 😂 Both brands do their thing in their own way, I will always now respect both.

[@RossReviewsau]

I can fully appreciate this comment! I know exactly what your taking about and it’s why I alway say you need both! Love a good manual V8 👌

[@chopperking007]

Great joy is driving your beast to and from work and then there's the weekend

[@BadManRiRi]

I've always loved the Barra motors, and they can make stupid power quite easily, but there's just no beating the sound of a V8, especially a cammed V8. And for a street car sound is important when most of the time you're sitting in traffic or at the lights or just cruising along. And that rumble without even needing to get on the loud peddle is unmatched.

[@RossReviewsau]

A cammed V8 is really something special eh

[@BadManRiRi]

@ijustcant buyaholdensorry From personal experience if you're not driving like a spanner then even most Cops appreciate a cammed V8.

[@lukeneill1568]

@@BadManRiRi I’ve always had holdens. Still have my first car vl turbo. Have a vf ss Cammed with around 480whp which is great for the sound. Though have a fgx that the mrs daily drives with 550whp and it’s smoother. Faster. Uses less fuel and with the external gate it sounds so good when you open it up. V8 is kind of obnoxious at times and draws attention at the wrong times.

[@NebMiletovic]

BarraT goes hand in hand with the ZF6Speed.. The more the power the harder it is to gain traction.. My old G6ET would spin through almost 3 gears before having any kind of grip, but as said in the video they are roll monsters..

[@RossReviewsau]

Yup can attest to all of that 👍

[@farmer3242]

Your g6et had a single spinner diff unless it had been upgraded to a lsd. Open diffs always suck

[@beerprem]

This is a good comparison of a motor making power as compared to the turbo making power.sure a turbo motor will make more peak power but in 90% of situations that leaves you playing catch up to the car with proper bottom end grunt even if its got less power overall.

[@nordic5490]

Thanks for the video! Lol that xr6t still has the police banner on the dash... "Unlocked".. No "over speep off" displayed...

[@RossReviewsau]

Yea ex police car 😅 glad you enjoyed the video

[@Bassman5000]

there's a VE getting around near me that sounds absolutely wicked. i feel like this one in the video might have more power, but the one getting around near home just sounds mint. he's always out doing skids at night too so i hear it going ape shit nearly every day haha. those v8s definitely sound nicer than I6s, but i reckon i'd take an XR6T over commo v8 any day. also going on torque figures, the I6 makes retarded torque numbers. i know a fella with a BF XR6T, last dyno sheet i saw was 335KW and 1001NM at the wheels. i wouldn't be surprised if that XR6 makes more torque than the Commo

[@RossReviewsau]

Sound will always go to the SS but the speed generally goes to the Barra turbo

[@schtix392]

Pretty much spot on there, the LS always gets away at the start but the barra always reels them in… usually once the back stops squirming around an gets traction is about the time when they start getting bigger in the mirrors 👌

[@davidtranmedia5112]

Up the LS & BARRA can't go wrong with either. I'm in the states so closes thing I can get to a Barra is a 2JZ-GTE or B58. But the displacement is what makes the Barra special. The extra displacement gives it more tourqe. But yeh a VE or any Holden if you spend the money on coilovers and whiteline everything it dies really well. Alot G8 guys over here throw the whiteline catalog at it with some crazy coilovers and man they are crazy fast around a track. Holden has always had pretty decent handling just needs a little help is all. The VF is a different story those are monsters around a track stock. So alittle tweaks here and there you got a weapon with a V8.

[@RossReviewsau]

thats the way David! both are absolute weapons and deserving of the legendary title they hold! all comes down to preference and money lol

[@TehBr0]

I've owned both in stock form, BA XR6T (auto) and VF SS-V (manual). The Ford had horrible build quality and spent a lot of time back at the dealer for warranty work, the auto transmission and entire driveline was clunky and tractor-like, but when it came on boost it was a maniac and thrilling to drive, but borderline dangerous when overtaking under hard acceleration due to wheel spin. The Holden was built beautifully, almost no warranty problems, and the 6.0 litre V8 was satisfying and effortless to drive and would just pull hard straight off the line, hill climbing often didn't require changing down gears, it just exuded strength and competence and sounded beautiful even with the factory exhaust. It's sad neither are manufactured anymore as there will never be anything like them.

as ford lover, i’d take the cammed ss any day of the weak, tougher, cheaper and just and absolute weapon. 👌🏼

[@RossReviewsau]

That’s a fair call!

[@Proey7]

In other words your a turn coat

[@lukeneill1568]

It’s cheaper for a reason. Own one and you’ll see wh

[@leoncarlier]

[@DogFish-NZ]

that year VE as an SS wagon 🤤 it's tough. Would love a comparison between a holden and an audi wagon at the same price. would love your opinion.

[@freqkilla582]

Cant beat that barra

[@RossReviewsau]

It’s a magical engine

[@jerrysorensen7254]

Anyone else notice the vic police on the ford screen, must be x hwy patrol car, been flogged if that’s the case explains the work done, I couldn’t look at that every time I got in the car and go to shops , give me the SS any day… paranoia gone instantly

[@RossReviewsau]

Yeh must be ex police or the dash is

[@bunning63]

Crumbs! If you ignore the lag, that turbo moves once it's on boost. Impressive, though the lag perhaps not so much.

[@RossReviewsau]

Turbo lag is a thing with them 🥲

[@jaxn507]

Comes on at 3k not much lag

[@andrewt1327]

The V8 for me, the sound it Makes over the Turbo is a deal breaker for me.

[@RossReviewsau]

Fair call

[@rwd323]

How cool is we once had the option to buy either of these cars new

[@RossReviewsau]

It’s sad we no longer make cars 😞

[@griffo4865]

the ss just sounds so much better

[@RossReviewsau]

It does

[@nzmarco]

I'm on the fence between Ford and Holden having owned a number of Commodores and Falcons. I do prefer the exterior look of the VE over the FG though. The VE seems more solid, especially in the rear end.

[@lukeneill1568]

I own both. Fgx around 550whp and vf around 480 due to it not being reliable and added cost to try get the power out of the ls2. Clutches go in them. Slave cyclinders. Runs hot and not good for summer days. Diff is weak as for hard driving. Love the v8 though reliability and drive ability the fgx is better. Plus the 8 is a bit of nugget accelerating at speed on freeway compared to the 6

[@HJ-ue8xo]

Hey there, Love your videos!! 👌👌 btw can I know that placed please 🙏 looking for a good road for a weekend drive in perth😀

[@RossReviewsau]

It’s in Gidgegannup

[@grahamerosewarne6656]

Ross I watch another channel who owns a VF and VE he loves them. Just won't marketed it right over there. Both awesome car's for different reasons 🌹💯👏🏆

[@RossReviewsau]

Spot on mate both equally good

[@BlueShirtCrim]
