what is your opinion on chev badges on holdens? personally i think they are a total wank as the car is a HOLDEN and not a chev... but each to their own
Its a sad day when it comes to Polls like these........ Why can't people just do what they want.....

Sorry, my mistake... I thought you would know what a valve is.Originally Posted by VL Berlina 5speed
Here's a hint, you can't see it from lifting your bonnet and taking a pic. Yes, they put a rocker cover on with Holden written on it, but all the internal parts are branded with the Nissan logo... well at least both of mine did when I rebuilt them.
It was a passing comment... a joke... no need to get all defensive about it. The VL engine was one of the best engines they ever put in a Commodore, but it's still a Nissan motor.
Let's break out the Isuzu badges for the Geminis/Camiras!
I saw a Rodeo with Chev badges, ridiculous as a V6 with them.
How many more threads on Chev Badges will there be this week?
Chev Badges
yeah cant ppl think of any decent polls to post just posting for posting sake bit sad really, but for this lame poll i think chev badges are fine. If its a chev motor and you like the badges buy them and put them on, if you dont thats fine too. I had them on mine for a stage cos i wished it was a chev i thought if i wished hard enuf it would grow two more pistons!! Each to their own. No one from the internet can tell you you can or cant do it and i know b4 Troy jumps in and says its just a poll ra ra ra i know, if you want it do it. Hows that for profound.
haha, i laugh every time. V8s aren't too bad, as the LS1 is based on the chev, but i also think the tools who say there LS1 is a 350 is a laugh. Learn your damn motor, its 346!

i think they look good, its good when they do the front and back not just the front. i dont know why but it just makes them look a bit more agressive
my web sitestuff on the XF throttle body conversion, calais interior and lots of other junk!

Correct me if im wrong!
I just think most ppl wish they had a 5.7!
All i can think off.
Waste of a poll.(non Voter)
I didnt vote either. They do look good on the right car, but it should be done properly. I would prefer holden badges, because i would prefer to support aussie built machines.
Buick badges on a vn-vp-vr would look dupid, also with the nissan and nismo badges on vl's.
The old gemiys did have izuzu badges 'on some models' on the interior dash.
Finally i wished all the car companies stuck with their own engines and bodys, i hate all the swaping business.
VS GTS-R perhaps? click hereOriginally Posted by Sensations
taken from the above mentioned website:
Based on the 5.7litre, 215kW GTS model, the GTS-R builds on that dynamic philosophy with carbon-fibre component, Holden Racing Team input an dstunning visual package that highlights the car's race track heritage.
HSV Expects most GTS-R buyers to opt for the optimised engine option which sees the Holden Race Team Engineers strip and rebuild the locally produced 5.7 litre engine to optimised tolerances.
no offence, but you sounded like a real wanker when you said that...Originally Posted by Sensations

the thing is, the LS1 is technically not, as its a 346 (5.68 or some crap) and the holden stroker motor is the true 5.7 (350)
Either way i think they look stupid, but hey, some people think its looks good. Only time you'll see chev badges on my car is April the first, for about 12 hours!
