    Default VY-VZ Merge?

    Just curious if we're going to see the VY and VZ model sections merge together as with VN/VP, VR/VS, VT/VX?

    On their own, neither section is overly busy when compared with some of the older model sections but if combined I think most threads would see more views and replies as apart from the engine, the cars are mostly the same.

    I Like the areas separate.
    VY and Vz have different lights (front and rear) body kits, motors, transmissions etc.
    I think there is enough difference to keep them seperated.

    I have to agree with andrewmac here. There is a very big difference in drivelines aswell as alot of the interior and exterior parts are non interchangeble

    never thought of it that way, just thought that each GEN of commdore goes into its own section. Other wise the VR-VS section should be seperate? altho VY-VZ dose have more differencess... i duno... lol

    Leave them unmerged. Too many differences.
    Why do you need / want them merged anyway?

    At this stage I think they'll be staying as is.

    I don't really see any reason to merge them at the moment.

    HAHAHA!!! Only the owners of said cars want them seperate. The V8 driveline is basically identical. The V6 differs in engine and trans, thats it. Interior is basically identical, exterior is basically identical.

    I think VY/VZ should be merged. I do want to suggest that we have a HSV Section split up into 2 Groups, Holden Engine Era and LSx engine era. So VL-VT HSV's and VT - Current.

    That sounds good, but you knew i would think that.
    Makes sense to have a HSV section.

    gotta agree.
    as for different tunes. normal holdens can run like 20 different tunes, you just dont notice the difference between them.
    suspension - SS's have different suspension to execs.

    I think they should be merged, VR/S have different engine/trans and they are in 1 section.

    They are a completely different company and differ in crap loads of ways.

    Suspension, brakes, wheels, interior, exterior etc etc. SS in VN's etc are just rebadged execs, no changes to brakes etc, same right through to series 2 VT really.
