- VSII Clubsport 5 speed, CV8Z 6 speed
I have a VSII clubby and a CV8Z monaro. I love both cars and both the engines. I think one of the big things is the car weight here. The monaro is around 400kg heavier so that has a large effect on the feel of the 2 cars acceleration, braking and handling dynamics. Neither car is slow, they just feel different to drive. The VS has a feeling of more urgency to rev whereas the monaro feels a little slower to rev but once it hits its stride its a beautiful thing.
To me it's about the driving experience more than quarter mile times. It all depends what you want from your car. Bang for your buck and easy quarter times? Chev engine hands down. The easy power potential is obvious and an almost limitless aftermarket for parts. Sure it will cost you more in the aussie 5L but some times it's just that much more satisfying to be thought of as the underdog and come up trumps.. I personally have a real soft spot for the aussie engine and the cars that ran with them. There is of course the sound we have discussed at length too! The chevs can sound good too but in my opinion the holden wins that battle...
I say drive what you love, not what your mates say you should. My 0.02 worth..
