Unless you got big pockets to feed the quite fuel hungry V8 SS, the SV6 wagon is a fantastic all rounder. It's not perfect but its a great car. You can't easily buy wagons anymore, and you certainly wont get a faster one for the money. You still get good power, far more power than any modern SUV, 4cyl/5cyl dual cab, bucketloads of space in the back, heaps of comfort, decent handling and jack-of-all-trades car

I know with the ve it has an anti abuse feature where it will cut torque because it senses it is trying to do a burnout, I have the 3.0L lfw and mine definitely has that because even with tc off it cuts power a bit, if you turn traction control off and dont try to brake launch it, i find i get a better result, but also a good tuner should be able to get the anti abuse tuned out, or atleast that is what my tuner said they can do when I take mine in, but tbh I am very surprised that it was that slow, my 3.0L wagon does 0-100 in about 7.7 seconds and it is completely stock under the hood and it has 20 less kw and about 60 nm less from factory than the LFX.

These motors can make decent power but they need a lot of work as they are just way too soft in standard form. Why Holden couldn't or didn't just use the higher output versions of these engines they used in the States in the Cadillac's is anyone's guess, probably cost. A VE-VF wagon even in v6 is still a big heavy car so a mid 6 second 0-100 time is pretty good. Although I wouldn't have one in an auto.. would have to be a manual even if it meant doing the conversion.
@wizzfizz680011 ай бұрын
They were down tuned unfortunately for the SIDI tech , and Holden knew that if these engines were tuned aspowerful as the ones in the Camero, which is legit the same engine , well mate they wouldn’t be p plate legal ….

Defo some out there, problem is the only wide available twin turbo kit, is by GOAT performance and they’re not great, lots of parts need to be upgraded to be good. Someone sold their alto grey SV6 TT Ute recently this year for 30k, he put a lot of money into it tho

Hell yeah, LLT’s and LFX’s with OTR , exhaust, dyno tune, are decent, better fuel economy as well. the wagon is a bit heavier than the sedan but it is the VF so at least it’s slightly lighter than the VE. Personally … the exhaust does sound raspy and not my taste tbh, sounds like it’s an Xforce 2.5”. The Xforce 2.25” defo sounds better with some downpipes or hi flow cats fitted imo, better low down torque but does suffer with peak hp compared to a 2.5”-3” catback system. The problem is a lot of sv6’s really aren’t tastefully done , not a lot of clean ones… no offence to this owner

I find that's a big mistake a lot of V6 owners make. I'm still on Ps with a 2009 Calais alloytech. All I've got is a 2.25 inch xforce exhaust, whilst clearly not being the best sounding thing ever it doesn't have the drone or rasp the 2.5 inch exhausts have. I find v6s sound fine until they're straight piped or have a 3inch on em

@vxsr3311 ай бұрын
@@Tosicc567this is true, whilst the alloytec doesn't sound the greatest, there's plenty of owners who install crappy exhausts that accentuate it even more. The ecotec as well can sound terrible with a bad exhaust system. I'm sure there's a way to make the alloytec sound decent, but I don't think there's been enough development in that area

@@vxsr33 Mine still has two mufflers so its not the loudest, plus 2.25inch is the width of the stock exhaust, might be why I find it sounds a bit better. So many people just stick a 3inch straightpipe on them and they sound absolutely crap.

fully agree on the 2.25 exhaust sounds a lot better then the 2.5inch exhaust especially on a vz aha
