Hey fellas, havent posted on here for a while! I'm currently driving a HSV enhanced VT SS sedan, but i've decided it's not practical and i need a ute. I was wondering, never having driven any other V8, what are some options with comparable power to the 195i? I'm only looking to spend about 5 - 6000, pretty much what i can sell mine for. cheers

With the weight difference in favour of the earlier cars, just about any VG-VS V8 will fit that budget & be just as responsive. |
Cheers,
Mick

Even if the 165 or 179kW engines are not powerful enough for you it isn't all that expensive to turn them into similar engines to the HSV/HBD 180, 185 or 195kW engines. Exhaust, tune and cold air intake will get them going better. |
