whats better????

[HVXII]

ok looking at possibly an update between a vy vz or ve what does everyone think & why do you think that more than likely a sedan not sure on the colour but will be a v8 & hopefully manual so what do you all think also what badge calais/ss/stato etc

[HVXII]

forgot the poll bit if admim could do that that would be awesome thanks

[Junny]

you can do it with edit. i think

[holden boy]

just make sure its a manual
its my only regret and don't get a poos one get a ss , calais , statsman or a hsv who cares just don't get the bottom of the food chain and auto !! make sure u get the manual

[chrism182]

You won't be able to get a VY, VZ or VE stato or calais with a manual transmission unless someone has converted it from auto, so your best bet is to get an SS. Depending on your budget would be the best way to choose the model. The VY has the 5.7litre GenIII engine and the series 2 VZ's and all VE SS's have the 6.0litre engine.

[HVXII]

checked the edit bit cant do it there but yeah i want a manual so its lookin like an ss then hey whats the difference between the 5.7L & the 6L

[holden boy]

.3 litres
probably get the 6.0 as its newer but if u can get a real nice 5.7 then who cares really
just make sure its been looked after and is in good condition

Poll added.

Let me know if you want the options changed

[Jezza]

well my mate has a ve calais with a 3" catback and the sound of a 6L is really good and i like it more than the ls1 5.7L

[MikesCalais]

Pffttt Autos are way better lol

Depending on your budget I would get

1- VE Calais V

2 - VY SS

3 - VZ Calais

but as mentioned above.. you wont be able to find a Calais with a manual unless the previous owner has converted it... and pretty certain you wont find a VE calais with a manual just yet

[D-Man]

VE simply because of safty (not sure if it's really a big issue for you) also they are a good looking car, if price isnt an issue, go for ve calais V, got a few extras in there.

vy ss

the parker light looks mean as on it

[HVXII]

thanks for the imput got a few bumps to get out of the way but hopfully soon an upgrade always good to have a few opinions

[Kal123]

VZ SS, It's such a sexy car.

[Wherry951]

Dont call me a dumbass but - What is actually the difference between a VY and a VZ???

Is it just like the VR VS where its like steering wheel, basic features, badges and age?

[minircc]

VE because it's a better looking car and newer of course.

[nonchalant]

I ummed and ahhed between a VY & a VZ and man am I glad now I went the VZ (didnt know much about the difference between the 2 models back then).

I have also since found out the VE's arent all they are cracked up to be. They have some disadvantages over the VZ (more weight, parts are more expensive, etc). Ive also spoken to the owner of a performance centre who used to own a VZ and who now owns a VE, and in his opinion he said the VZ is in many ways a better car (one being they are more comfortable).

I rekn I'll be keeping my VZ for some time yet.

goooooo a vz manual buddy. nice avatar to u write?

[Troy711]

Define 'better' and I can give you an opinion

[Lumps of cheese]

VZ SS 6.0 ltr. is what i'd go for.

[Troy711]

VE Calais-V Sportswagon

vr to vs they went from buick engine to the ecotec, and with the vy and vz they also changed engines, they went from the ecotec to the alloytec
