    That still doesn't explain ESP and active select though. I thought that gearbox only fit the alloytec?

    i doubt the esp even works. could just be a button that said 'esp' but actually is 'traction'

    does it hav WORKING paddle shifts?

    what are you saying about 'silver interior' in your car. pics or GTFO

    Pics please of car inside and out, underbonnet and build plate. Doesn't sound right. And a VZ/VY is unheard of in my opinion. Its either a VZ or a VY. VZ started building mid 04, so having VZ/VY in 05 is even more unlikely. Plus to get the car 15k cheaper and for holden to put the super 6 in a car which should have alloytec, well just not adding up.

    Pics asap for us.

    I really doubt that. Why would Holden put the old ecotec into what is essentially a VZ? As other people mentioned, the ESP would not work nor would the active select. Even if Holden did make it that way, it would not be cheaper because it takes a lot more effort to make the car work with the ecotec than just putting in an Alloytec.

    Your getting funny now. Can't wait for the pics. I wouldn't be quoting all this information until you know the full details of the car because as you say yourself that you just don't see that car that often.

    my vr i had, had vs badging, interior, etc, looked the same as a vs outside and in but had the buick 3800 motor not the ecotec, it was the last of the vr build as they were crossing into and building vs commodores, everyone i knew said it was a vs cause they said you could tell by the badging and interior, but when they saw the engine and compliance plate saying it was a vr they relised it was a vr, build date was july 95, and i think the vs was july 95 they started, but besides engine and trans, evreything else was vs, even though vr and vs have same body shape just different interior pattern and badges, etc.

    OK now I'm very curious. If someone comes and says 'aha you got Punked' then I vote instant ban stick action.

    One thing that would be a dead giveaway to anyone in the know, VR (yours) would have had the mirror mounted in the roof. All VSs have it mounted on the windscreen

    Bit hard to see that whilst driving. Can easily spot the mirror mount

    I think revv_heads response to stealthy pretty much sums up that the guy is a tool and really knows nothing. Therefore I am closing this pathetic thread.

    No doubt after the infraction I gave this guy, it will result in a pm of foul language...I look forward to the ban
