The VL drove great. Even the non turbo. Wonderful engine- smooth, gutsy. Had a few for work.

Love the VL Commodore. Brings back good memories from 2007 when I had a VL the same colour. Wasn't turbo but I still loved it. I would still have it but was side swiped by a shit truck driver near Herne hill.

@RossReviewsau 6 месяцев назад

Icon!

@restotime392 4 месяца назад

All jokes aside, 7.6 0-100 wouldn’t feel to slow, id imagine with a tune this would make well over 350nm of torque at the wheels so it would feel pretty quick. If it was manual with a lightweight flywheel, it would be pretty fast id say

Our family had a dark blue VL Executive sedan back in the day as a family car. Lots of memories in that car. It was written off when an EL-GT Falcon failed to give way to my dad, who was towing sheet metal in his trailer at the time. The VL was written off, I don't think the EL-GT fared any better sadly (Bet the owner of the Falcon felt like a goose)

@philip4193 6 месяцев назад

These came out when I was finishing high school. At the time the VL Turbo was the fastest Aussie-made car in current production and did 218kmh from memory on the test track (my wife's Mazda SUV is probably faster than that these days) and was quicker than the 5 Litre V8 versions at the time . I was driving a '78 Torana back then and absolutely lusted after these things.

@Lotus-S70 6 месяцев назад

I reckon it would've been the gearing that held the VL back, if you look at 90% of cars before the 90s they didn't have proper highway gearing unless they were German, slap in some new diff gears and a nice stretch of road and I reckon a VL T would hit 230 or a little higher

@johncameron6864 6 месяцев назад

What are you taking about man, the speed limit is 100 it's all about how quickly you get there 👍@@Lotus-S70

@GTRFREAK17 2 месяца назад

The VL will always be one of my favorite cars overall - even before watching Fat Pizza I thought they looked handsome and sounded fully sick! ;)

@MitchTube 6 месяцев назад

When the VL turbo came out there was a lot of talk about the potential. A bmw mechanic friend bought a VL turbo new. Having no internet he had to play with the setup himself to make more power. Soon it had a set of Simmons wheels, Koni shocks, lowered and we were off to Bathurst. In a time before the licence points system, with legal radar detection and emptier roads it was an epic trip chopping toranas, falcons and even some more exotic bmws, jags etc. Good times 😂

@OLDS98 6 месяцев назад

Thank for sharing another Holden. You two are right. They have got away from building cars like this. It is interesting years later Oldsmobile had that front end styling on its cars. It is all GM.

@wtfisthis2316 2 месяца назад

"Back in the day this thing would have been an absolute rocket" 😂😂😂 No dude!! The owner told you at the start, this was N/A until he got a turbo kit done to it. So this wouldn't have been a rocket at all back in the day!! It would have been slow!!

@RossReviewsau 2 месяца назад

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF IT WAS LIKE HOW IT IS NOW!

@wtfisthis2316 2 месяца назад

@RossReviewsau oh yeah if it was factory turbo back when it was made, would have been awesome, but unfortunately the early years was naturally aspirated. Looks and sounds amazing in your video though

It was cheaper for Holden to source a different motor than to retool for a new local motor. Keeping in mind the Buick V6 was considered for VL, eventually it found its way into VN.
