Congrats on the SS. Now it gets even more interesting when you start thinking about how long until you start modding it? :driving:

There is plenty of evidence out there that hsv is using the tr6060 but I have not read anything about Holden making the switch.Quote:

I would get a ss. When your already spending nearly 40k what's a couple grand. The six is nothing on the v8.
But the best thing like others said buy 2 years old. Then resale loss is minimal.

Like this - 2 years old 20,000Km $28,000 VE SS seems like good value http://www.carsales.com.au/private/d...&cr=2&__N=1246 1247 1252 1282 4294965857 4294965745 1216&silo=Stock&find=ve ss ivy|CarAllQuote:

Perhaps if PD is viewing this thread he might shed some light on it. :)
Yes it's a 6060. Been using them for a while now.Quote:

And as far as fuel consumption goes, I find its best not to think about it - it will just get you down
Only the buyer can answer what is "best" for them.
For a hardcore Commodore enthusiast, the answer is obvious. One has a V8.
For everyone else, far more pragmatic decisions need to be made. One will cost far more in running costs over it's life, particularly fuel. The 3.6 SIDI's these days are quite powerful yet rather economical. The V8's, in the suburban grind particularly, are, ummm, quite powerful... Then there's the insurance on V8 models often being a big jump up- can you genuinely afford to own a V8, or is it just your heart speaking?
As for resale, don't believe everything you read. V8's have been taking a bath at resale. It's damn hard to sell them used, whereas V6 models are an easier sell, so the trade is pricing them relative to whether they want them on the yard or not. If they don't, the "supposed" extra resale of the V8 will disappear in a blink. How long would you intend keeping it?
