The Aussie Car America Wanted! This Is The HSV VZ R8.. 

100% 😈🇦🇺

I'm always a Holden supporter not mater what even when they release the beast Chevy camaro I love the the looks of the camaro front rear and front it would shit all over the ugly mustang

Holden quality parts are more SUPERIOR than GM lol

Lol sad. very sad. me i think the Commodore sedans are ugly and toughest GM car is the Holden HK Monaro HK-HG in fact. then A9X Torana. LC 2 doors etc.

Forgot to say even sound like a pile of shit too.

Amen brother the mid 2000s were the sweet spot

Yeah definitely if you see the amount of concept vehicles they had around the VY/VZ range. Probably Holden’s last crack at staying in business really. 👍🏻

Yes, same here in NZ ... even the 6s (fuck alloytec) people are buying them up and modifying them co they're affordable

Love the body kit!😎

100% brother that’s me n what I’m trying to do 😅 love em all

Well said Cobba, both are gone now, and we can now all agree that we made some killer cars with strong competition between both.

Definitely! I love both

Lol. Its just a car. We got sick of these cars in Australia, hence there is no local car industry left. Holden and ford v8 cars were the most annoying cars on our roads. Annoying sounding, driven by small dick accident pr8be knuckle heads and just a plane nuisance.

I mean engine wise, nothing else after that as chassis and designs were done here in Australia. And I mean we just like make sleek small cars with big power. 😢 rip to the Aussie car industry shall be the greatest time of our existence.

The VZ range was the sweet spot eh

I’m a ford guy as well and I totally agree with you this model is one the best

nah Ve and Vf are better

@@nathanielpillar8012 ur a casual

@@justarandompersonontheinte5044 Indeed. I am a very casual person.

That’s it eh! Manual is the way with these cars

No auto is quicker down the quarter my buddy blows stick shifts away on the track yes 6speed but street driving and drag racing go auto the boxes are basicly tricked out vet boxes when ya talking vz clubsport or Maloo utes I know my shit more then this guy bro I don't even own one but Ive seen wat they do to other commodores and Ford's and jdms even a lambo lol but I admit the guy in the lambo was in experienced and couldn't shift for shit this review made me lol the guy seems to sound like his reading a script dam no joke he should be talking this model up way more there engines are so powerful and the combo is so perfect changing even a cam or messing with the specs can make the engine lose power 🤣my buddy was told the only sensible next step to adding power is a turbo or supercharger don't mess with the engine specs for such a smooth cam it's pushing out so much power close to 400hp with numbers like that auto is the way to go lol he raced a 6speed every gear change my buddy pulled away 1 car length down a quarter 3 or 4 car lengths is a big diff in time down a quarter a 12 sec pass against 13 both factory standard not even exhaust mods I know my shit bro

Manuals are better on most cars

Agreed I have a ve calais ls2 auto trans and it's a bit sloppy imo

Fkn oath nothing like a manual ls they crack 😂😂

Was in very good shape.. not to shabby for a manual LS2

Oh man that would have been a good deal.. love a VZ MALOO too

Yup 100% the VF is killer but I still love the VZ the most

You bought at the right time! Wish I could have got one then also!

Ss or HSV? No way you got a hsv for 15k

@@GregoryShtevensh hsv mate. When I brought her she had 157000 on the clock with another 125k put on her in just 2 years. Since buying her I've given her a closed door respray and has pretty much sat in my garage since with her only coming out for the odd owners club meetings. She wasn't a perfect example by far hence the respray but is still original with no mods or factory options.

@@Mr83rt wow awesome buy mate! I dont think many have nabbed one at such a good price

@@GregoryShtevensh yep, the prices were in the gutter 5-10 years ago... was a great time to pick them up.

Thanks mate 🙏 appreciate the support

pure happiness

Thanks so much mate! Glad you enjoyed it

They sure are mate! Glad you enjoyed it

Sounds like my kinda people 🤣

Love the VX also’ very sexy 💦🤤🇦🇺

@@RossReviewsau mate these vids you post are awesome but it makes me just scratch my head and think we had the best v8 sedans in the world imo here in Oz and we let it all go.

Yup the Barra is a beast on boost but to get the best of both you really need both

100% agree

Really great example eh😍

@@RossReviewsau aye not eh. Love the content by the way 😆😆

Perfect pairing eh

My absolute favourite hsv 🇦🇺❤️

They are mostly all garaged now n only come out on occasion sadly

up in queensland its even harder unless you go to a specific event based around aussie cars or classic car meets or you go to willow bank lakeside or queensland raceway for powercruise. hard to see an old school muscle car driving around on the street

Tbh they might as well have said it was 300 🤣only 3kw short

​@@RossReviewsau Crazy to think the VZ series was (minorly) less powerful than the GTS's from VTII to VY and no one really batted an eyelid.. I also think they were so invested in E Series that they wanted to keep that 300+ number for them. Try and hunt down a VX Senator 300, that's my personal dream HSV, all the best bits of the Senator and VX GTS rolled into one rare combo.

@@XeKToReX0 I think the 300kw badge in the LS1 s was bullshit tbh don’t think they actually had that hsv was known to overstate their numbers a lot

Def would have recommended that but can’t complain eh! Throw a quick shift in it

Thanks for sharing man.. wasn’t sure on the differences

Such a good looking car! Even to this day!😍

@@RossReviewsau it suits you as-well

Loved that shot eh😈🤩

So good 🥲🇦🇺

I just bought my first v8 (vz ss) Back to this video just to listen to how I want mine to sound Thank you again for showcasing how a car should sound ​@@RossReviewsau

I’d kill for a MALOO in this spec

Totally agree with the VY Series 2 HSV R8 Maloo Even rarer than the VZ and absolutely beautiful also.

Icing on the cake 🍰

Your spot on mate! Not about the speed tho really! Even tho they still haul ass! But that noise and running your gears is so special

Yup perfect spec

Thanks mate! Matt’s a legend n the car is so good 🤙😈

Cheers Ali!

Too true ... HSV kinda lost the plot with styling after the VZ

They are great Aussie machines

The VZ is the peak of hsv looks for me 🔥👀

They both go well together too🇦🇺🚨👏

Best shape!

Good job brother! She’s a keeper

Definitely a car to hold on to! Would love to have been here when these first came out! 🤤👌

I've still got my Fusion R8. Love that car

So damn hot eh

The yellow is so good 🥵❤️

The best

You gotta love the noise eh!

🤝🇦🇺

Such an iconic shape eh

Fair call.. love my typhoon but even still the VZ is magical

The best of both with a VZ 🇦🇺👌😈

Def the peak of there good looks eh! The VF is nice also tho

Was not a bad spot

Thanks brother love a VZ

Love a MALOO

👌👌👌

👌👌👌

Nice work hold on to it!

Love any VZ 🥵👌

Was a true legend to throw me the keys and keep his car this clean

Thanks brother

absolutely love this car

@@RossReviewsau definitely the best car Holden made.

They missed out on so much 💀🥲

Love a vZ

She’s a keeper! That amazing

I love the VF but I can’t look past a VZ like this idk 🤷‍♂️

So good 🥵🔥

​@@RossReviewsau vr and vz are my favourite shapes.

Keen 😎😮‍💨

Agreed 😈🇦🇺

Agreeed 💦👀

They are my second 😭🇦🇺

Yup you know me well🤣🇦🇺❤️

🔥🔥🔥

Love the VF but still my heart goes to the VZ for HSV

👌 agreed brother

Now that would be a Mint comparison eh😍

🤣 that’s a crazy coincidence eh!

@@RossReviewsau a Typhoon and VZ R8 would make a bad ass garage brother

I’ll keep the typhoon 🇦🇺😈 but I hope one day to have both

its HOT!

@@RossReviewsau These, the R8 Maloo and the VZ GTO are god tier for sure.

One of my dream cars

Had a blast cheers mate

Yup def need a lumpy cam n she’s sweet

Glad you enjoy it! This was a fun one

I owned a Fusion VZ CLUBSPORT 4speed auto from new for five years, so that is my favourite colour with the next being the Devil Yellow. The VZ CLUBSPORT was a great drivers car and a great cruiser. Boy do I regret selling my CLUBSPORT now. I am debating whether or not to get a VZ R8, VZ Senator or a VE Senator just for it’s collectibility.

Offf I love them eh! Love a good MALOO

They were so good in the mid 2000s

Thanks mate 🇦🇺🤙🤣🤣🤣

Who’s got one I can drive 🤣

@@RossReviewsau anyone out there??? need to know more millionaires 🤣 there’s a fare few advertised on car sales, wonder if they want some free advertising? I ain’t got 500k 😩
