Most likely a VY with a VZ facelift - not hard to do at all.
I DRIVE A V6 SS :P
Clarify the CALAIS
Hey my brother in law owns a VY Calais but it looks identical to the VZ with the sports bar and everything. ESP, active select, rims. Silver interior yet it has a Supercharged 3.8L instead of an Alloytec. What the hell is it?

Oh how i love rear wheel drive

Did the VY's have active select and ESP though? Maybe a VZ with an engine transplant...and original gearbox? Does that even work?Originally Posted by one_and_only2004
Are you sure about the engine?

you make a good point about ESP and active select - that's paddle shift innit?
Maybe it's a...... freak?

Active select, is only available on the 5spd autos, i.e. VZ, WL onwards.....
& with ESP, im pretty sure its the same deal.
Then again the car could have had a front end conversion,

Its deffinately supercharged. Definately has Active select and ESP.

Now w/Phreddied Dash
My guess would be a VZ calais with a heart transplant. Seems very weird though.
A Commodore is a passion. Anything else is just a car

Are you sure its not a charged 3.6L? Was sure i saw an ad for a kit in SC mag.

Could it be an alloytec with an aftermarket charger then?

It's quite bizzare. Maybe near the end of VY life stuff had changed? Like my commodore for example is one of the last vys and i have silver interior trim from the factory.

Just get pics, and we'll be able to tell
Include a pic of the build plates so we can see the date it was made.

Ok. I would have to go take one. I only realised this shit last night while we went for a quick cruise but I might see it again tonight. And under close examination and whilst not being drunk i probably would be able to tell myself. I usually see his pulsar. Only seen his Calais a few times.

And as far as i know he has always said its a 3.8L Super6 and it deffinately had the badges last night and sounded like one. Yet looked like a VZ. Oh and he said that my motor looked the same as his when i had my bonnet up once he doesnt kno much about cars so i cant really ask him lol.

I'm putting my money on it being a stock non-supercharged Alloytec VZ
That dent guy
The VZ calais would have the alloytec190 with those badges etc, so maybe that's what confused him if he doesn't know much about cars

Not all of them have the 190 Alloytec badges. Mine didn't come with them.
Mine didnt come with the 190 badge too but doesnt bother mee aslong i got a 190 motor!!

As requested, put up pics of; Underbonnet Shot, Build Plate above passengers side headlight, Outside Shot of complete car from side etc.
If you want to know for sure and you must want to know as you have made a thread about it, then post up these pics and we will all set you straight with what it is.
6 speed
few key diffs to tell the diff,
like headlights, taillights, front bar.
the vy had silver inserts on the calais too.
after about june 05 onwards holden stopped putting the v6 badges on the side
Chev badges are an instant fail
