- 2002 VX II SS
In the near future I'll be purchasing my first V8 which I hope to be either a VT II SS or VX SS (series I or II) with a manual transmission. I actually like the look of the VT SS better than the VX SS and seeing that they are a few grand cheaper I'd prefer the VT II SS.
As I've researched the differences, a lot of people say to spend the extra money and get the VX as it is better. Fair enough, but what makes it better? I'm not talking about exterior/body differences, just everything else.
Some differences I have read about so far - the VX SS has an LS6 intake manifold (I'm sure this would take much to install on a VT SS), the VX's doors are designed differently making them lighter but also safer (something like a total of 50kg lighter from the VX II to VT II), the camber/suspension issue was fixed in the series II VX (could a VX series II suspension be put in a VT?).
I also read that the tail shaft is actually stronger in the VT SS though?
Is there any other differences? Would I be better buying the VT SS (seeing as I like the look better) then spending the extra cash fixing the above issues and/or other modifications?
