[Mazzone_Child]

hey guys i looken at buying a vq stato hopfully by the end of this year and i have been looking around and they all seem to have fairly high km on them all over 200,000 so i was wondering how much power they have left in them??.. will they do burnouts??... and also is it worth gettin a lpg dual fuel conversion?? if it is on dual fuel can it do burnouts i heard that it makes cars loose its power??? and also how much would i be looking at for gearbox reco or a shift kit and how much to change the diff gears if any has the answer to these question it would be greatly appreiacted

well firstly, why do you wanna go buy such a nice car just to thrash about and do burnouts in, just a waste. i think it cost my brother around $2500 to get his vq stage 2 shift kitted...

well my VP has cracked the 300 000 mark and is still going strong.

yeh, i think he talkin bout the 5 litres cos all the series 1 vq's only came out in the v8, the option of the v6 came out in the series 2. the 3.8's last forever, but i hear that alot of people rebuild the 5 litres at around the 200-250k mark. dont know why but

and i since my uncle bought a vq stato wen i was a lil youngen i have always liked them and now the price for them is comming down and they are more rarer than the average and most likely in better condition than the vn/vp commodore

Treat each car u look at individually.

Ks aren't everything.
