Yeah when you start getting past 6-7000km you will notice the difference. The engine will really loosen up.

About 18l/100km, 80% city 20% freeway.

What are the major differences between the two, apart from the obvious 10kw bump and 20nm bump. Is it still classified as the L76 that's been tweaked or is it a completely different version of the GEN 4? Few questions I've been having trouble finding answers to. Sorry if this has been...

Thanks Mate. Suppose it's a bit early to tell, but have you noticed any better Fuel Consumption?

How much did it cost you and where abouts in Melbourne did you get it done?

Pretty tame unless you get it above 3500rpm then it starts making the noises it should. It just doesn't have that low end rumble when stationary or at low revs. I'm still unsure/undecided with what I should do to mine...

Ha, That's Gold. How ever I don't agree with debadging the newer commodores but I can see why you would for anything older than a VY.

I never said I flogged it, just gave it a bit of a rev, nothing past 4000rpm. I won't mention this to the dealer anyway just what the car did afterwards. :whistling

Yeah, I only notice a minor power and fuel efficiency increase with 98RON.

Thanks SLugg, I'll hold off for now and see what comes out. I am very impressed with the standard exhaust on it anyway, and as you said it sounds great once your give it a few revs.

Nice ute, looks great. Yeah would be interested to hear if your dealer fitted the alloy foot rest cover. My ute didn't come with one either. I was lucky enough to walk into a dealer test drive the ute and drive away in it 3 days later, after they had fitted the tub liner etc. Very...

Yeah no glove box light for me either.:my:

I was out having a bit of fun with the boys, giving the car a bit of a Rev. After doing so we pulled up and got out to have a chat so I left the car idling for about 5 mins, when we had finished I got back into the car and went to slowly take off when the car wouldn't Rev and stalled. I started...

Just wondering what you all think the best exhaust system is for power increase, better fuel economy and a better sound for the new L76 and what sort of prices I'd be looking at? I have just bought a New Ute and have no idea what I should be looking for. Thanks,

Nice SLugg, you'd have to be impressed with that. Did you get the car dyno'd in Melbourne if so where did you get it done? I'd love to take my 6.0L Ute down and give it a run.

Just wondering if anyone could comment whether these are safe to put on your car (won't scratch it, won't do any damage). And also what brand, price should I be looking at? I'm not planning on leaving it on all the time, just when I travel to my holiday house 3-4 times a year. Thanks, Lemon

If I could live in it I would...

Here it is. I'll post a few more pictures when I get time.

Will put them up tomorrow. =)

Just wondering if the New Thunder SS Ute (Manual) is meant to come with an Alloy sports cover for the left foot rest? Thanks,

This helps alot, are you able email me the dealer you went through? Thanks, Lemon

Just looking at buying a new VZ SS Thunder Ute Manual w/ Tow Bar + Tub Liner, and have been quoted $44k this includes on road costs. Is this a good price? Or should I be looking for something better? Please let me know if I'm breaking any forum rules talking about pricing etc. Much...

Anthracite Leather Seats For a 2004 VZ SS Ute Price/Part Number? Thanks,

Thanks for the input from every one, think I'm going to hold off for now and see what happens with the new VE, when released. Sounds like there more trouble than their worth at the moment, and now with Fuel Prices being so high will be interesting to see what holden does with the engines...

Thanks for the feed back. I would also appreciate if you could post what price I should look to pay for a New VZ S Ute, they are priced $32,990 + on road costs RRP, can they be worked down to $31,000 + orc or $29,000 + orc?? Thanks,

Thanks :)

:my: That wasn't the response I was looking for..

Yeah I noticed this aswell..

Hi, I'm new to these forums, but am looking to be a VZ S Ute owner in the near future. I was wondering what everyone would expect to pay for one of these brand new? And whether there is anything I should know before going out and buying one? Thanks
