performance between a 12v & 24v is like chalk & cheese, but that's not to say a 12v is slow. As Graeme says, you can't break a 12v ..... they last for ever & you can't give the engines away. Thumbs Up!

An ABS member swapped 2 pedals for 3 in a Senator and liked it that much he took the third pedal back out. I've never driven one, but they say that a manual Senator isn't that great ........... like an Omega Roll Eyes

Back to top	Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine IP Logged

Torquey and performance similar to smaller Omega V6s

2.5 Senator is a waste of time 2.0 Carlton was much better.

Apr 2011 at 12:14 I would like to see what happens to a v6 if someone bored it out to 3.6,fitted twin turbos and increased the power output by around 75%. I agree about the 2.5 senny btw. I wouldnt even bother with a 3.0 12v. It has to be the 24v.
