vt body shape

[ned]

can any 1 tell me if there is a differance in the body shapes of the vt,i have a 2000 model and i think it looks differant then the 97 and 98. any 1?

[AttaBoy]

The chassis is the same and also the panels are the same. Maybe a few cosmetics difference.

[nicko]

body shape the same, indicators on the side are orange on the series 1, and clear on the series 2, also the rear indicators are orange in series 2 and clear in series 2.

[RVN 355]

Rear tail lights and interior different and they reduced weight in all 4 doors.

[ned]

[VTS5]

Rear tail lights and interior different and they reduced weight in all 4 doors.

other then the obvious one (series I and II t/lights) there is absoulitly no diff.

"interior different",
"reduced weight in all 4 doors"

[Mk III the HSV]

Well the Sedan lost around 40kg somewhere between the S1 & S2

[coasty]

[Torquen]

in that case it must of had a relapse since cause VT's r still heavy mofo's.

[daron]

troo story

[1991_Vn2nV]

[Clutchy]

Still 240kg heavier than a pre VT commodore

How does it compare to the vs irs ?

[andyman]

a vt is also better than any pre vt car

[1991_Vn2nV]

~ 160kg compared to VS IRS.

a vt is also better than any pre vt car

Personal preference. I'd take a VS 5L Calais over any VT (HSV excluded).

vtseries 2 has in standard v6 form 17 Kw more than the vr and vs is 40 kg lighter and ecu is an upgrade from the early vt series 1. interior is upgraded and tail light lense colours are clear in s2. you will also notice that the last of the vt's series 2 2000 upto september b4 the change to vx had all the options added to them as standard i.e fe2 suspension limited slip diff and a few other creature comforts inside colours were almost all metallic paint too. Virtually a fully optioned car.

[1991_Vn2nV]

VS and VT have the same power ratings mate. I can't really make sense of the rest of your post as there is no use of grammar.

[daron]

actualy the series 2 doesnt have same power its more

[nicko]

yeh go the series 2 hey darron

[Full Spectrum]

actualy the series 2 doesnt have same power its more

I was wondering that, Getting out of my old VP into the VTII i was thinking dam this car will be slow they all say that..
Pigs Arse! i think it's got more zip then my old VP.. I spun around in a VS back in 96 when new, It was a flat car on take off.. This VTII is different.

[1991_Vn2nV]

VX had 152kw, VT series 1 and 2 had 147kw. The new inlet manifold and individual spark control on each cylinder wasn't introduced until the VX.

I'm a bit confused by this statement. Are you saying as some sort of a runnout deal or promo when they were about to release the vx that all of the late vt series 2 had all options. I find it really hard to believe, but it sort of makes sense. I mean it would be hard to sell the old model when the big changes of the vx were introduced. ( Thats a bit of a joke, but people would've thought the vx was a big change at the time.) but to put in lsd and fe2 would've been an expensive propostition. Does anyone have a late badged vt s2 that would negate this? IE no lsd no fe2?

I have been of late thinking this with my 2000 Berlina..

It has black springs that look Fe2, I got sideways around a roundabout by accident nice power slide Maybe LSD?, And the car has some good poke, Considering they all used to say the VT V6's were the slowest of the V6's..
I got a VP V6 which still goes great but the VT might beat it i have this feeling it will?.

But without really getting in there and looking it's just a feeling i get with it..

The difference between a VT and VX 0-100 is about 0.1 seconds, so even if it did have the VX running gear..Its still not a race car The feel of a VT is quite different to a VP though.

This end of VTII runout thing doesnt seem very logical. Does anyone here actually watch the run out specials on tv as a guide? FIRST thing they generally add... Are alloys. The Berlina as an example had 17" alloys as an option, late series 2 models didnt get 17" alloys as standard. Now when was the last time you saw a runout special add LSD to the list?

LSD is an EXPENSIVE extra to add as are other things. What do you think $3500 gets you in a run out special? In an Equipe that $3500 got you air conditioning, 16" alloy wheels, cruise control, CD player, power windows, and power antenna. Or $4500 in an Olympic edition got you an auto trans, air conditioning, power windows, 15-inch alloy wheels, bumper inserts, body side mouldings with chrome inserts, chrome exhaust extension, single CD, power antenna, cruise control, unique interior trim.

Slick_Get_Away, why dont you check your compliance plate? If it was fitted with FE2 it will say so. Or jack up the rear and spin a wheel, check if its LSD.
