Indeed. How is that possible I wonder?

[mackie1]

Surely they must be the wrong way round?

Also it says 24 valve which isn't true!

And only 403PS.
Thats a Monaro 6.0 VXR Table.

Except for the Auto and valves.

I know in the likes of the VY2 clubsport 285kw model the Auto and Manual tunes were different, so that could account for some variance. Also gearing is different. Plus manufacturing tollerances etc.

12mpg is awsome
