VX Commodore Supercharged S
The supercharged s is holdens version of the performance six-cylinder family car, popularised by Ford's XR6.
With the Eaton M90 blower fitted to the V6, it is rated at 171kW@5200rpm from the factory, with 375Nm of torque at 300rpm. As the torque figures suggest, there is plenty of pulling power down low, but there is no point revving it - all you will achieve is lots of noise.
With a quarter mile time in the mid-15's and 0-100km/h in the mid-7's the S would have been considered a very quick car 10years ago. These days it is adequate, and certainly enough for middle-management types to have heaps of fun as they dash betweens ets of traffic lights.
The S is comfortably quicker than both the manual and auto-equipped VR-X Magnas and cheaper. It is also quicker in a straight line than any XR6 and is much cheaper than the VCT versions too.
Despite the power differential and their inferior brakes, the Faclons are a more invloving drive. If you have the option of choosing one of these cars as a company vehicle, the XR6 would be our choice.






just wondering whats peoples thoughts are on this??
From my own personal experiences the Supercharged VX commos are NOT anything to rave about, and certainly not faster than an XR6 of the same model.. from real life experiences aswell not numbers on paper..
