Yep I just love being the spoiler

The XR6T will run on regular unleaded. The premium spec is only a manufacturers recomendation. Same as when we had the GenIII, the series one was meant to run on premium but manufacturers can do a lot with a stroke of a pen.

Re Highway Patrol, it has existed in various forms in WAP for many years. The name is more used as "brand" advertising rather than any substance these days. Back in the days of Perth Traffic Branch there was actually a section titled "Highway Patrol". Unlike current versions they actually did just patrol country highways within a couple of hundred kilometre radius of Perth. Funny thing how things turn full circle, what next Armed Robbery Squad and VCU

Also the first of the white marked SV6's are starting to rollout in country areas.

Your wheels Walks would piss all over a XR6T anyday. I have to admit BA/BF's XR's look good in that velocity blue and canary yellow colour.

XR6T also run on premium fuel only. Better tell Fleets that before you fill one up at the servo.

Tom, nice pictures

As good as a SV6 is, the XR6T outhandles, outperforms and is a superior car to the SV6.

As for premium fuel thats fleets problem not ours!!!

But i am pretty sure thats Fords recommendation only, about the fuel and that they will run on normal unleaded.

Someone mention VCU...bring back the whiskey cars....

Yeah the white SV6's are about, only TEGS getting silver ones from now on.

A silver XR6T, cant wait......, couple of our cars are getting their kilometers up pretty quick

Same here some of our cars are doing about 5000 every 10 days. Nothing wrong with the VE SV6 though, great looking car that handles well but you just can't argue with horsepower......

Merredin has its white SV6 now. Saw it today and I think it was the same one I saw Thurs night. I'll try to get a pic soon.

New VE SV6 runs 18 inchs wheels to but as you say you cant argue with horsepower.

195kw SV6 -V- 245kw XR6T

Its like when we went from series 1 VT commodore 179KW to 220kw series 2 VT commodore 220kw

Yeah I remember. The funniest thing was all those idiots that bought a 215kw GTS-R then whinged a couple of months later when an exec comm with a gen III would blow their doors off

Some even had the gall to write letters to motoring mags, despite being given 18 months warning the old cast iron 5.0 was on the way out. Another example of how effective anti-idiot legislation would overcrowd the justice system

Yeah people were pretty dark having spent $65 grand on a HSV Senator top of the range, 5.7 litre V8 215kw and then being beaten by a $28000 standard gen 3 v8 commodore

thats why you always wait and see what the series 2 version has to offer


Although the 215 kws GTSR were awesome, yellow XU3 colour and only 85 made (20 to New Zealand). They still fetch $40 grand now days for a good example low kms.
