Best BFYB Commodore
Purely talking about performance here. Out of all the Commodores, which one do you consider the best bang for buck? (Good performance, for the least amount of money possible)
Please note that is about cheap performance. I don't care about looks, or factory figures.

VN, they are cheaper than the model before ( VL ) they still have the best 0-100m in any V6 commodore ever.

Ummmmmm don't they run the whopping 15-16 seconds on the 1/4 mile? Defiantly the rb30 engine's.... Arent VL 6's still today the most highly modified commodore?

VLs are definately not bang for your buck. the N/A model is slow, and the turbo models are way overpriced (this is my stock VL exec with a turbo, thats been flogged all its life, i want 10000 for it) so there goes the value theory out the window. not to mention parts for them are expensive, and finding one the doesnt need repairs is lucky. VN FTMFW
actually, for v6 go the vn. but for a v8, anything with the ls1 in it

Funny. I see VLT with new paint job's, reconditioned motor's sell for around 5k. I saw a 10 second VLT the other day go for 11k. And what type of N/A 6 cylinder engine from VL-VX is fast? None.

VLT for sure. Parts are everywhere, they are cheap, reliable when looked after and have a bottom end that is tuff as nails. Throw some cash at an
RB30ET and you'll have a rocket.
What I mean is that if you threw $5000-$6000 into a VLT and did the same with most V8's or V6's etc you will find the VL wins hands down everytime. Hence the cult following of the car and also the reason that if you look at the list of fastest Street Commodores in the country, bar 2 they are nearly all VLT's - that should be evidence enough.

and you're mentioning a turbo engine because...???
I go for probly the early buicks, VN-VR if well looked after. series one VN had too much poke for nanna's so they added the bellmouth, and my VR still has enough go to scare passengers
