Theres a 2.6 senny with LPG kit up for offers on the Yahoo senator forum .......... Carlton in Drag Hello, and welcome to the site. John, that's got a collapsed front suspension on one side mate, due to corrosion. It'll never be roadworthy again, which is why he's selling it. The price he quoted was what he considers the engine, lpg kit and running gear to be worth. |

I don't think the 2.6 is that much better then the 2.0 litre for out and out speed.
More torque, granted, but the 6 pot is much, much heavier than the 4 pot.

2.0 carlton are ace fun for sure.  Cheap to mod too, get some GSi dampers or uprated GSi dampers, some 2.0 lowering springs and welcome to happyville |
