    VH without a doubt. Last of the steel/chrome bumpers - anything with LESS plastic has to be good. Less gadgetry to stuff out on ya, and easier to work on for young guys starting out with a cheap first car. And the Group A was one mean mutha oh yeah and i started my apprenticeship on them

    I've voted VH as well, If you want pre VN then VH represents the old commodores very well

    I can When they were new I thought the VK was a plastic disaster with freaky weird square gauges and I still do. I'll Be very suprised if the VH isn't the clear winner of this poll. Plenty of mediterranean ricers around that love VL's so that should be up there too

    VL by a country mile. IMO they have the nicest shape out of the first gen Commodores. With the others they show their age quite bad, but the VL still looks quite modern even today.

    Vh is in the lead! but VL is catching up! so close. Who will win?! VC VK are falling waaaay behind and vb going dead last!

    I bet my money on the VL to get more votes (just because everyone likes them for some reason) even though the VH is better

    not to mention the shear amount of money and work you need to put into them to get them to that level, factory vl turbos are slow as.

    Stock for stock, any new commodore will KILL a vl... hands down dont even bother argueing. Brakes, Steering, Suspension, SAFETY, options... all of it. pour the same amount of money they do for 10sec VL's into a new car and you'd have a VERY nice NEW car which STICKS it to VL's...

    1. T5 V8 Bellhousing and Clutch fork assembly suit VP
    2. V8 Tail Shaft, T5, Suit IRS VP
    3. T5 VB Gear Box

    slow stock? Put a good exhaust on it and buy a boost controller and wind the boost up all up less then $500. Then you have a fast VL turbo its a 20 year old car we dont drive them for safety reasons. How dangerous they are makes it more enjoying to drive Knowing your in complete control of your car without and safety features. If i wanted safety id be driving a vy or newer.
