jmmw,
If you haven't driven an SV6 how are you qualified to answer?
I have driven both althought it was only a BA mk11 XR6 and the rear end 'twitched' when pushed.
Plently of experience pushing a VZ SV6 to it's cornering limits and haven't come unstuck yet..
I'm sure Walksy/Ludy or CHEV will be able to give you a more experienced answer to which car handles the best...Although I have no doubt an XR6T craps all over an SV6 straight line.

As long as your not pushing the xr6 into corners i have never experienced any problems, when its dry.
i think the car, particularly the chassis settles down quite quickly after zooming through slow points and round about's.

Here's your answer:
As to which car is better, all depends on who's behind the wheel
I am sure I could find an Sv6 driver that could 'whip' a turbo driver
Both cars have their pros and cons. Turbo - great power and brakes but a little light in the arse end which can be troublesome at times. SV6 - good strong car, Ok brakes and handles like on rails...just doesn't have the pick up it needs.
Walks.

And not sure how you can compare a SV6 to a XR6T.....totally different cars, and the SV6 doesnt compare
If you havnt seen a VE SV6 how can you say they drive better?
I had the VZ SV6 and as I had to decide which car I wanted next I took the XR6 T out for a spin. Awesome in a straight line but I like the way the Holden handles. Rather have handles than speed when it comes down to the crunch.

I agree, that would be a perfect combination of the 2WPXZBP wrote:Hmmm... how about an SV6 turbo?

You're partner did an admirable job of sucking it up and sounding as professional as he could whilst doing Mach 5..

XR6T will be getting R-Spec suspension package for police issue over east, no doubt it will appear here as well. R-Spec available only on 40th anniversary GT Flcon at present, increases handling by 60% on the track. SV6 may get supercharger next year a an option, police pack will have stage 2 supercharger if enough interest in it from police in all states.

The joys of being the boss Robo means I won't be driving a Rodeo.
