depends what u want, the ss isnt bad for straight line speed, ( the old girl has a cammed and edited ss sedan ) and for dollar value, i think it is pretty quick, 6000 or so and her car went from a stock 160 somethign kw, ro 260 odd. so cant really argue with figures, yet to run it down the 1/4 yet, but from seein other ls1's with similar firgures, 12s wouldnt be a surpise.
depends on what you want, i have an AU and i think its much much better finihed the her later model higher grade commy, plus if you got the ute, i think the AU shits all over the vy, my brother has a similar spec vy v6 man, i have an au 6 auto, the only think i like on his over mine, the gearstick.
mine has everything better, the interior, much more finished, the exterior, personaly opinion, the drive, comparable, the space for a big guy in the driver seat ( as myself, 120 kegs ) uncomparable! the falcon has soooo much more ball room ( sorry to put it so bluntly but its true) then the holden its not funny, i can spread my legs sooo much in my ute, in my bros you simply cant, therefore i rate the falcon higher again.
but this is simply my point of view, go out and drive all three and let me know what conclusion you came to.
