    Do you get told your car's not worth it??

    I can't recall anyone ever saying that to me. Generally it's the opposite to be honest, because of how neat and clean the car is.

    HSV Announces SV Black Edition For Maloo R8, ClubSport R8 And ClubSport R8 Tourer

    The new GT does look good, but too much black IMO. I reckon it would look good in silver, with the black wheels. I've seen the motor show pics and they don't look as good as the above one. Still a nice car, but I don't think it's anything spectacular. Anyway as for HSV's "Black Edition" I...

    Kelly Racing/Jack Daniels Racing

    Yeah Perkins Engineering. I don't think Larry's role is as prominent as it used to be, but I'm fairly sure he's still involved.

    Kelly Racing/Jack Daniels Racing

    I've always liked Todd, but never really been a big fan of Rick. I'm more of a HRT fan, but I would rather see the Kellys win than any Ford.

    first car?

    I'm confused. It says you already have a VS listed as your "ride"? As much as I love VLs for a first car I would go for a VS. Get a VL later on down the track for project, or something.

    What is the ugliest commodore?

    Personally I think the H-Series lost its edge after the HT. Never really liked the look of HQs, HJs,and HXs. The VB picked up some of that style Holden lost, but as you said it's just an opinion.

    What is the ugliest commodore?

    I would still rather drive a VB over a HQ though.

    [P Platers Only Please] What model Commodore do you own?

    Nope. Most of us are on our full licence. We'll leave the "boys" to the other Commodores.:D

    Whats wrong at HRT???

    Exactly. These days the racing is almost hair line. It speaks volume when on average half a second or so covers 10-15 cars. I think it's so much better than it was say 10 years ago. Ironically I thought it was boring back when HRT were practically unstoppable and the the AU was a winless...

    would you trade?????? vs for vl

    It all depends on what sort condition the VL is in. If it's been maintained regularly throughout its life it should be fine. Ultimately I think that's more important than age itself. I would rather a 25+ year old car that's been well maintained than a newer car that's been thrashed. I'm just...

    would you trade?????? vs for vl

    It sounds to me you've already made up your mind mate. If you want the VL just get it.

    What is the ugliest commodore?

    It would be boring if everyone liked the same thing. My vote goes to the VN and VP. SS and HSV models look alright, but unfortunately there's just not enough of them around. I cannot stand base model VNs and VPs stock, or modified.

    Whats wrong at HRT???

    Well there was nothing that could be done about Walkinshaw's passing...obviously and for years it's been reported that Crawford and Wilson were both rot within the team. Maybe their departure will be a good thing? The last 18 months have been pretty tough to watch, but you have to take the good...

    [NSW] HSV Senator, looks **** house?

    I like the series 1 VE HSVs, but theses ones have too much "bling". Although I still think the VZs were the last truly nice HSV.

    GM's new V8 gets downsized

    No different to Chrysler, and Dodge at the end of the day.

    GM's new V8 gets downsized

    Hang on shouldn't this be an 8.0L? After all GM haters think the only way GM can make power is by going up in cubes. Oh really?

    VY SS vs BA XR8

    I have heard of twin turbo XFs, but I was talking mainly along the lines of what HDT, and HSV were offering. The best Falcon Ford had was the S Pack. The Sierras were great cars, but they were non-local.
  18. Guru Spook

    VY SS vs BA XR8

    Yes indeed.:p BURNOUT BAZZA- I've always liked the Ford I6s over Holden V6s, but the old Holden 6s were, and still are great old motors. Part of the reason why I don't go much on Falcons from the 80s is there was no real performance models after the V8 was dropped in the XE. Give me a Blue...

    VY SS vs BA XR8

    Don't get me wrong there a Fords I like aswell, but I will always prefer Holdens, even if this new Ford V8 beats the Holden offering. The only Fords I would strongly consider are late 60s/early 70s Mustangs, or Falcons from the same vintage. From 1980 onwards Commodores have always been...

    VY SS vs BA XR8

    Exactly. These type of threads will always attract bias. I can accept that Ford do make some good cars, but the majority of us post on here because we like Holdens/Commodores.
  21. Guru Spook

    VY SS vs BA XR8

    It would be boring if Holden/HSV had the edge in the V8 department all the time. Ford need some time in the spot light once every 10 years too. It'll come out, beat Holden/HSV for a little while, and Holden/HSV will have something better.
  22. Guru Spook

    Best Holden shape ever made....

    So many, but if I had to pick just one it would be the HK. Sexy, sexy cars IMO. For Commodores it's the VL. Surprised by the amount of votes the HQ has. Never really gone that much on them personally.

    Rice Burners, Yay or Nay?

    The term "ricer" is thrown around too much these days. To me a ricer is any car (Regardless of what it is) that has some useless cosmetic enhancement attached to it. I would hardly call a Supra, Liberty, EVO etc rice. In saying that Japanese cars aren't really my thing. I've driven alot of...

    VY SS vs BA XR8

    Must also be depressing for Ford V8 fans that a "dinosaur" V8 has been destroying their much more advanced QOHC V8 for the last 8 years. No wonder Ford are sourcing a Mustang engine.
  25. Guru Spook

    VY SS vs BA XR8

    Well no it isn't a fact mate. Looks vary from person to person, and while the BA XR8 is a nice looking car it's starting to look more like a taxi now. The VY SS, and definitely VZ SS are more hard edged, and less taxi like. IMO I've driven a BA XR8, and VY SS, and to me the XR8 felt too nose...

    V8 SuperCars 2010

    Obviously I would prefer Holden to win, but Ford actually aren't doing that bad. There's 3 Fords in the top 5, and the only 2 Holdens are Lowndes, and Whincup. Ironically if 888 were still at Ford it would be 5 Fords. HRT have got off to a bad start, but I don't reckon it'll be before long...

    Whats better?? VN or VP??

    The VN SS Group A is legendary, but apart from it, and the SS models I really don't like either. I mean I'll appreciate a nice VN, or VP if I see one, but in general I don't like either.

    what would you rather drive/race auto or manual

    I just think unless you have a disability confining you to an auto there's no reason why anyone else can't learn to drive a manual. I've spoken to a few people who got their auto licence, and everytime I ask them why they didn't learn in a manual their excuse was normally "It's too hard". What a...

    what would you rather drive/race auto or manual

    I prefer manual for sure. As stated you have more control over the car. Seriously when I drive any auto I almost feel like I'm in my own little world, and not as alert. With a manual I tend to pay more attention. IMHO I think it should be mandatory to get a manual licence, even if you don't...

    Stock VL VS Prelude & RX8

    A stock VL would get beaten by most new 4 cylinders, but I would still rather a VL. There's more to cars than how fast they are over a certain distance.
  31. Guru Spook

    Old car or new car?

    Both. I would buy a VE GTS for a daily driver, and a LJ XU1, or HK GTS 327 for a weekender. I don't think I would go out, and buy a European Supercar even if I had the money. They've just never been my cup of tea. I prefer Australian, and American. Sorry to say mate, but you're wrong...

    Wrestling fans

    I watch WWE once in a blue moon, but I haven't watched it on a regualr basis since 2006. Wrestling hasn't been the same since WCW went out of business, and IMO the best years were 1997-2001.
  33. Guru Spook

    What is your favorite classic Holden muscle car :)?

    HK GTS hands down, with the mighty LJ XU1 in a close 2nd for me.:)

    Best Pre-VN commodore

    Pretty poor example. VE GTSs don't come stock with a supercharger whereas a VLT is a stock forced inducted car. Winding up the boost in a stock VLT is still within its stock means. IMO

    Best Pre-VN commodore

    And other stock 6 cylinder Commodores aren't?

    Best Pre-VN commodore

    VL by a country mile. IMO they have the nicest shape out of the first gen Commodores. With the others they show their age quite bad, but the VL still looks quite modern even today.

    Should I Keep posting useless polls????

    Manual. I like having control over what gear I'm in. I really don't see what the problem is driving a Manual in peak hour traffic. I've done it plenty of times, and it doesn't worry me.
  38. Guru Spook

    Should I Keep posting useless polls????

    Doesn't bother me to get honest. I never used to like them, but then I realized that if people like putting Chev badges on Holdens than that's up to them really. I actually quite like the Chev badge anyway. Looks cleaner, and sleaker than the Holden badge IMO.
