I have two magazines at home..

1. Motor Magazine from 1997, VS calais with Supercharged V6, 165kw version (detuned from VX) doing 6.7 seconds 0-100 and 14.7 quarter mile, bog stock, magazine tested.

2. I have a motor comparo in 1998 between VTSS holden 5.0, VT S Supercharged V6, AU XR8 and AU XR6. The Super6 VT was 0-100 in 7.1 seconds and quarter mile 15.1, bog stock auto, quickest of the whole group. The AU XR8 and VTSS were manual cars.

Im being serious people, these cars have some really good performance, very underrated and only because it was overshadowed by LS1. they are about half way between a N/A 6 and a XR6T/BOSS/LS1 performance wise or level with a AU XR8. They will belt the lot over 200m (stock street tyred).

If you want proof (substance) , PM me your email and Ill scan you pages. I might even have some old 0-100km/h videos showing they are about mids 6s 0-100.. If you want you can post them up for everyone to see.
