new member with 1992 VP commodore sedan with lots of extras

[VP_SV6]

I must have missed something, why is it so powerful its hard to drive, is it not a standard v6 with over 300k on the clock.

My VN has only 39,000km on the clock but wouldn't say its powerfull, nor was my first brand new VN I bought in the early 90's


Regards Dazz



I didn't realize that either

i have no idea why it has so much power Dazz its a standard V6 motor with over 300klm on the clock the motor has never had a rebuild has a new auto gearbox in it back in 2003 before being parked in 2004 in a bush until 2009

the old owner said he had done nothing to the car at all.

im thinking it might have a power chip in it i need to find time when i don't have the flu or the temp is in the 40s to get in it and see if the ECU has a chip in it..??

its 1st owner was in his 70s the last owner before me is in his late 30s i am the 3rd owner since new.

It doesn't have lots of power.

Really pretty straight forward.

Your 17 yeah?

 

[undersuspicion]

i think its all a piss take soop. Theres no way a stocker vp would have too much power to handle

im 19 not a hoon have never wanted to have fun in this car to me its just a car but family friends have also said it has more go or power in it than there VP commodores .........dad finds it hard to drive too he doesn't know why it has that power......when i get time to look at the ECU it might answer everything as it might have a chip in it

having the "chip" won't make two tenths of bugger all difference.......especially on a stocker 6.
My 5ltr never has enough power....

 

[VP_SV6]

thanks vkcommo ......im only here to ask for help as i rebuild it i don't want to start any fights.....im only going by what i know the car is like and have taken other vp commodores for a drive...this one just seems to have more power than most:wax:

 

[soop]

I cant understand why it's "hard to drive" though.

That 170hp must be astonishing.

 

[vk.jonno]

the title said lots of extras what are they?
peeling paint isnt a extra btw.

u must be a shocking driver if u cant handle a buick 6... HA
