The early XR6's were different, but now I'm not so sure. I think they have a different harmonics rubber on the front.
May just be balanced differently.

Far too logical!

Ferris - I wasn't joking!!!

Back on topic.

The sound system. Prestige sound should have at least 8 speakers, two more for third row ocupants.
Most cars have days is 10 speakers these days.
And MP3 capable.
The system sounds OK, but I was expecting better.

The clock is OK where it is, I prefer it there.

I'm led to believe that;

FPV GT and GT-P are speed limited to 250km/h

XR8, XR6T and XR6 sedans are speed limited to 230km/h

All other Falcon Sedan are speed limited to 210km/h

All Territory, Falcon Wagon and all Falcon Commercials are limited to 180 km/h

Speed limiting is performed electronically within the ECU.

Personally, I think that is more than reasonable, although our NT friends may have a different view.

I hear johnydep's comment that Commodore's are speed limited to 200km/h and maybe things have changed with VZ, but my info suggests that no Commodores are speed limited irrespective of model.

Just as a piece of trivia, limiters can be adjusted up or down with the Herrod (and others) Edit program.
