Please dont tell me thats what you want to buy, I have driven an omega, and that was gutless, dont know about the SV6, but looking at the torque figures, Im guessing it would be.

I actually wanted to hire an SS but I don't think V8s are available. So the Sv6 will have to do. I just want to see how it drives and how it compares with the falc

if a base model ve compares anything to a base model vz, as far as takeoff and engine responsiveness goes, they are as aluggish as anything, not sure about a sv6 tho, but i've driven a vz exec, and even compared to my au, it is a slug, the gear shifts are so slow and you have to put your foot down heaps to even get moving from a stop

I've test driven a VE SV6 before (but only for about 10 minutes). The engine is very peaky and less responsive than the barra. But I'm really interested in how it drives/handles as I didn't get much opportunity to test it at the dealership.

I've hired a commodore for my trip to and from Sydney next month. Went through AVIS.
But I doubt it will be an SV6. Probabbly an omega. But my dad did once get given a BA XR6 when he hired it from Hertz. I imagine they will have some in stock. Give Avis a call.

I have seen a few N/A XR6's at hire places so i wouldn't think it would be to hard to find a SV6.
