vidge Member 27 Member For: 18y 5m 5d Posted 03/01/06 01:11 AM Share Posted 03/01/06 01:11 AM Hey all,just a quick question, how does the standard XR6t ute go against the SS utes.I realize the SS power has changed over the last few years, so if anyone knows how they go against the older ones and the new ones that would be great.Thanks Heaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any SS prior to 2003 is a non event...Not much in it after that, although the 6 litre might prove a formidable opponent.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the AU, BA, BF utes are real utes. EG. Leaf springs, so they can actually carry a decent load. They are also quite long, being based on the station wagon chassis.So that puts them at a disadvantage in terms of straight line performance.

Im not saying the Late model camira is bad, its new VE model is just around the corner, the latest commodores are just showing their age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So back in your box little boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So back in your box little boy!"how it will go against" pretty much meens straight line performance..even so, the ss will match or beat the xr6t in allout performance specs anyway.
