2009 SV6 195kw - XR6T 270kw
2009 SS auto 260kw - XR8 auto 290kw

MORE POWER AND GRUNT ACCROSS THE ENTIRE RANGE

mag tide you must be looking in the catalogue from the card yard that had the same year Falcon utes for 1/2 the price of Commodore utes.

catalogue Im lookin at lists the Holden V8 at 270 kw,and more torque than Palcon.

and the holden 6cyl at 195 kw.

Fords 6cyl has 195kw, another source suggested 198kw (fuel rating I think)

by the way, I had around 5 dyno runs done on mine after I had it charged. Still runs a standard cooling system and the temp gauge went to about 10c more than normal. Are you sure the waaankers at wheels had coolant in it? wouldnt surprise me if they didnt

geez HD I would have thought that the one and only article you had to prove the horsepower shootout between holden and ford you would have KEPT.I have seen dozens of dyno tests on holdens and fords , and have never seen ANY car overheat after 1 run let alone the ecu fail.As for holden paid wheez magazine , according to you they pay everyone off. no wonder GM is broke EH? As for the KW sticker on the car, that is flywheel KW the rear wheel KW is much lower depending on manual or auto box. I have never seen ANY car put out more rear wheel than rated flywheel, unless it has had many thousands of dollars spent on it.You really need to engage your brain before you make statements, or maybe go to the subaru forums , where you can compare jap dicksizes.

The auto SS has been droped to 260kw.
The V6 has been reduced by 5kw, as if it wasnt under powered before.
