Holden Commodore Limited Edition models

Yep I got the same text.

 

got one at 3:57 this afternoon.....and the dealer called me to follow up that I had received the email from Holden...

 

Yep.

 

yep got my text today about 3:53PM I'll have to call my dealer tomorrow and see what is going on with my email

 

No txt here. What did it say?

 

Yes

 

I actually got 2 texts, the 1st said congrats on your motorsport etc, the 2nd said congrats on your director ? I did change from MSE to a director, or perhaps they have decided I qualify for a buy 1 get one free deal, sweet

 

Thanks Jetfrost.

 

your welcome 426Cuda

 

is anyone considering putting Walkinshaw 457kw upgrade on there vehicle, was going to do it to my current Calais V but now have ordered Director prefer to put it on there......would it detract from its future value or enhance it bit disappointed they didn't supercharge the limited editions at least if only in basic form

 

I would leave it in factory trim. I think that it would probably be more valuable in factory trim in years to come. I have a MSE on order, and I'm not going to make any changes to it.

 

Are you buying it to enjoy it or to try and retain value down the line?
I'm adding power pretty might right away but keeping it NA with a 385kw kit (OTR, headers, exhaust and tune).

 

I'm still contemplating the W407 in mine somewhere after the first 1500kms
though the price is an issue too, but if you spend $70K then what is another $10K = $80K???? Still under consideration

This will put it among the Clubsport territory, but no supercharger
“you get linear power delivery, something you don’t get in forced induction like turbo or supercharging, what that basically means is….when you squeeze the throttle, the rear wheels react ‘like the click of a finger’, and it’s such a beautiful thing to experience”

 

OK to clarify going to keep never part with.....but from the side of if need arose attitude, I could move it on, unlikely but life has a habit of throwing you curve balls
Correct me if I am wrong but I was looking at 457kw upgrade which is only 24k give or take a few dollars which I looked at applying to my Calais V V8 MY16 about 3 months ago, it was originally not available on the non supercharged models but at some stage made it available not sure when. Only reason I was hesitating doing upgrade was current Calais Suspension and Breaks would not handle extra power output requiring me to basically install FE2 Suspension minimum and bigger breaks dollars started creeping beyond economical as where Director has all the goodies to handle extra power output.

 

as per earlier remark at point of buying Director as daily driver bombing it and buying second one( if I can secure) and ordering with No Pre Delivery Option to store)

 

OKKKKKK jetfrost just reviewed video you uploaded looks like 407 might be better option that way I retain look under bonnet. So requiring less adaption as I age and as previous cars as they aged wanted to return to stock LOL....yeah been there had a HR 186s 4 speed manual I bommed(factory original with opal 4 Speed, well until I killed by modifying) nightmare to get back to original not mention earlier commodores list goes on and on if only I had kept half of what i owned.

 

me too

 

If you're worried about the price and you don't want the decals why not get a reputable tuner to do it? Especially if you have some parts already.
