G'day , agree ...coming home last night in the FG XR6 N/A and a real hilly long stretch around the mountain , climate control, with two of us and a full boot of groceries and plumbing bits to fix the shed guttering on board and I was having to hold the bugger back..If an I30 goes much better than my old Mk1 up there I'd be bloody amazed.. I 30's are pretty darn good but crapping all over a Falcon or Commodore...Doubt it...Cheers Rod..

Wife's got the Elantra, it's nippy when pushed but no way in hell would it keep up with the XR6.

Plenty of electrically controlled (modern) common rail diesel running up to B95

I love how people make out that "common rail" is some new fangled tech gismo, when they clearly have no clue what it actually means.
If anything, its the opposite.
The "common rail" is a PIPE. In many respects this setup is far simpler than a conventional diesel.
At a very basic level, the only difference is that the injectors have to be remotely controlled.
And yes, I was working on "common rail" systems back in the 80's.
The difference in modern diesels is the precision of the injector, and the engine management systems controlling them.
