Were did you get the figure for the 1/4 mile times?

Aurion (A6) 0 - 100 kph in 7.5 sec / 0 - 400 metres in 15.5 sec from an article not that long ago, the VE got 14.6 / 0 -400m, and the xr6 got 14.8 / 0-400m.

You were comparing engines... The alloytec SIDI is the better engine, we weren't talking about curb wieght! The fact that the commodore weighs more then the aurion, yet still beats it down the 1/4 really shows this. And the SV6 is downtuned!! Theres a graph floating around of a complete stock SV6 pulling 174rwkw.

So, either the earth isn't round, or you're wrong. The Alloytec at the moment is the better NA 6.

fire up young son! like i tried to explain before, who in their right mind buys an aurion for out and out performance?? you know, quoting numbers that come from the factory(not from you and your mate at WSID or heefcut) doesnt "prove" any argument you may have to make. if you go down to a drag strip, flog an aurion and flog a VE 3.6, any number of factors could make the aurion a faster car, or the VE, or the whatever else is there racing at the time.

as for the 3.6 being the best n/a 6 around at present? defend yourself boy! this is a ford forum where the ford 6 is pretty much a God, and has already proven itself agaisnt its competitors. please don't for the love of god quote wheels or motor or anything, to prove a 3.6 "beats" it. having a few kw(paper kw) more than the falcon and some qtr mile times 2/10ths of a second faster don't make me want to jump into an SV6 and go hunting falcons.
