Not within seconds?? I'll take that bet.
Here we go with the excuses again. So if the engine has 3000-5000 miles, but isn't an '11 with faulty transmission, has the right electronic suspension with XYZ settings and is running with the wind at its back, downhill it will perform adequately? Must be tough coming up with all these excuses...
I suspect the rear brakes will be the same non-descript single-piston sliding calipers as the Commodore VE (GXP). The fronts are now a two-piece rotor. Not sure this is going to have a tremendous impact over a 2-piston rear. The GT and pre-2013 GT500 also come with non-descript single-piston rear calipers and that doesn't seem to hold the
GT back vs the M3
Both the Holden VF and SRT8 have undergone revisions since that 2009 comparison. I have shown you the difference between the
old Holden VE (GXP) and the
new SRT8 and the difference is slight but tangible.
GXP: 0-60 in 4.7, 13.1 1/4mile at 109mph
SRT8: 0-60 in 4.5, 12.8 1/4mile at 112mph
The new for 2014 VF Commodore and Chevrolet SS will have a number of improvements over the outgoing VE (GXP), slight engine alterations to improve performance and fuel efficiency, a redesigned automatic gearbox for improved gear selection, 88lb weight reduction and lowering center of gravity due to the all-aluminum hood, roof and rear-deck, the switch to electric power steering and a reduction in drag coefficient due to aerodynamic efficiency. There is simply no way to anticipate the impact these will have on the overall performance of the car. We will simply have to wait for the reviews to start rolling in.
Then why are you so concerned about it? You're not a paid member of the GM marketing team. You have zero skin in the game. You must work for an independent, third party firm that performs sales forecasting for the automotive industry? No, I didn't think so. We can revisit this thread in 6 months and see who was right. Until then, you can go back to whining about the battery in your Lumina.
