Re: New vs Old: VE Commodore SS-V vs VZ Commodore SS

Yeah, I did notice that it responded well to extra berries. To be honest, although the VESSV was otherwordly, it was like an amusement ride. Certainly plenty of fun, but with ESP on, it didn't really need a wrestle and I love to wrestle The VZ felt more like I was taken to task. There was involvement in the new boy, but it was somehow homogenised to the point of not needing to really commit yourself within the realms of public roads anyway.

Standing side by side, the generation gap is clear. Driven back to back so is the challenge. I'd get the VE for the family, but on my own, I think I'd rather wrestle the old dog.

...though maybe the 05 6.0 VZ
