HSV E series have had LS2/LS3 as far as I know. Happy to be corrected.

Hos, Redline has FE3, unless you own a Redline Wagon pre 2012 (mine) where you get the FE2...

are we all playing with ourselves?

VE chassis shits all over the previous commodores, as others have said, there is no beating a car that has 50/50 weight split when compared against the old club!

The Dynamics of the car stock is damn good! The difference between the Z and the E would be like upgrading from a Cybershot Camera to a Canon DSLR...even in Auto it gets it right...

and the folks going on about modding, spend the same dosh on the VE and it will flog the VZ until it's red like a 13yo home alone with daddys porn collection

I wouldn't of thought the difference between VY / VZ and VE is "huge improvement". This means quite a big difference.

The VE is better, it has almost 50 / 50 front / rear weight balance.

I've had no problems carving up VE's in the twisties. Either there is nothing in it or I'm an awesome driver. Just sayin

Same driver, same day and same location.... VE wins no arguement, don't think manufacturers are in the business of spending a Billion dollars to make a car slower!

Great call! Haha

As others have said GM didn't spend a billion dollars for the fun of it. After driving any pre Ve then driving a Ve the difference in the two stands out like dogs balls!!

I haven't had a commodore for a few years. My last was a vx Berlina 5.7.
I gave to say the ve ss s2 that I just bought is so much better in every single way. Light years ahead. Really can't believe how much better it is.

Berlina's are not a sports model. Not a relevant comparison

No but I'm comparing a ve to an older model.
