Were these the versions that were cast here, and ended up being porous engine crank cases?

Yes..and don't forget the abominable auto transmissions..

However, build-quality wise they were top notch for their day. By the time the third gens rolled around, there really wasn't much wrong with them at all..except the clear coat on paint. You'll struggle to find a non-white one that isn't stuffed..

How’s the 2019’s interior quality. I remember sitting in the 17 at the Adelaide 500 and being served key underwhelmed. The VF was a lot better. I see they have a digital dash now which is awesome.

The interior hasn't changed too much. It is a bit nicer and the digital dash is a ripper. Heated and cooled seats are great. The infotainment system (SYNC 3) is very sharp and a lot more intelligent than the MyLINK system from the VF II.

A credit to the VF that it can still have a better interior than a 2019 car.

This is true. Better than a lot of current cars actually. Including the ZB and many European cars I've drive. Certainly better the American models including Camaro and Mustang.
It wears well too. My 2013 Red line with 90k kms is near as good as new and no rattles.

I disagree dude, the Mustang does have old school feel in some areas due to keeping the Retro look but it shits all over the commodore unless you need a 4 door family car. Please don't take offence as I loved my Commo but there is no comparison....heated and cooled seats, electronic dash and Sync 3 kills anything on offer from GM.

I don’t think anyone takes offence on here but from your last 3-4 comments the best the Mustang has to offer is the “heated and cooled seats” and if that’s the best it can offer I can’t see many people on here converting

Not looking at converting anyone mate, and whilst the seats are great there is a lot more to offer. Line up with one on the road somewhere and let me know how the tarmac tastes after it leaves you a decade behind.

Didn't say the VF was better mate but if thats what you took from it then so be it
