Taken from Jan '06 Motor magazine... "The L76 is part of the GEN IV family.""Importantly though, it will not be the same 297kW LS2 6.0 litre engine found inside the flagship HSV range."

Good luck I say <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Gee I hope that they also do some body \ suspention work to the damn thing before they put a turbo version out... The SV6 is an OK car to drive (funny enough a little hairy at 100km/h, no where near as stable as the XR's, which is strange considering the one I drove was a newy...) and it looks as boring as .I would hate to take an SV6 in it's current form beyond 100... or have to actually corner...
Blonk Iconoclast Legacy Donating Member 4,330 Member For: 22y Gender: Male Location: CH Posted 05/01/06 02:14 AM Posted 05/01/06 02:14 AM I thought the ECOTEC 190 was already close to max. from what I heard. A young engineer here at work just bought one 2 days ago and the first day he drove it to work he came saw me and asked how he could get more power out of it already. I tried to talk him into a T but being 203 cm tall found it hard to get in and out of the ford. Took him for a spin in the phoon to show him what a six cylinder should feel like and he is spewing about the SV6 now... He is already looking at buying a TC for it with 600 km's on the clock....
