Advice On Buying A 97 VT SS

[calais_304]

i'll chuck 2c in here and say get the rear suspension sorted out quick smart, they seem to have a good problem of wearing out the inside of tyres due to a camber issue.

i have a 98 calais with the 195 and so far the only thing to go wrong in the good year and a half i've had it has been the alternator (at 175000km). she cops a good belting every now and then and so far im happy with the way it's been holding up:thumbsup:

Having driven both, with the usual cat-back and CAI, I must say, the old five-point-zero sounds a lot nicer

good work, did you find it at a dealer in town? i guess i may see it around

Got It In Sydney so far very happy with it .had to put to rear tyres on it ,so will be getting camber and toe kit for rear very soon.other than that i love my 5.0 Litre.

the sound of an LS1 is terrible compared to the 5L.

however, personally i wouldnt get a 5L VT purely because of the weight.

i'd still take an LS1 VT SS over a 5L SS anyday.

Agreed, i could live without the glourous sound of the 304 if i was 1.5secs quicker down the 1/4 in an LS1
