I am not a fan of 0 100km/h but of 100km/h and beyond is the practical test.

I would say that the car is tuned truly to run on 95 octane and that 91 is just retarding the spark timing.
It will spin the wheels easy as on take off with E10 but it will not on 91.

These Aurions flog the 3.6L Commodores and the 4.0L Falcons, not the Turbo, but I hate FWD cars myself, but just plodding about on the highway it's fine and good at overtaking not to mention it can do 230KM/H so if you had to go the Darwin it would be ok, you will not be complaining.

Dirt roads well forget it, it's just rubbish to drive on that, the understeer and noise of stones being churned up by the front wheels really gets to you.
