You could get a 195kw upgrade to the V8 SS which made it quicker than the Super6.

The BA auto would be slower off the mark but would be in front no doubt at the end of 1/4 mile

BA XR6 NA auto - 15.8 secs @ 146kph VY SV6 supercharged auto - 15.4 secs @ 145kph lol, the BA has more torque than the blown VY (380 vs 375nm) :P The article reads that the SV6 gets a half second jump on the XR6 to 60kph, then the XR6 keeps with it from there on. I can see where that 0.4 second ET lag comes from, the BA's fat **** and its **** first gear ratio. |

At a dyno day I went to a while back, there was a VT S with a blown 6, it had extractors and exhaust, and it only dynoed a couple more kw than my XR6 with similar mods :

They don't make huge power numbers, But they pull huge torque. I think some of the 11-12 seconds ones are around 300kw Just seen this one.
