The New Commodore VFII is Coming

[blackve76]

Not enough changes for me to upgrade. In cabin noise is so wank.............

New engine, 34 or 44 more Kw(de tuned tune) lower diff ratios and cheap 4 wheel brembo upgrades, seems ok to me

Sounds like a Camry with loose heat shields being reved. Whatever happened to real V8 sound!

That stopped with the last 5 litre.

I can see every ve/vf wagon owner trying to get a set of those new tail lights

Yep I agree. Plenty of VE wagon with LED

I already have all that. Tail lights are interesting

Yup.

Exactly what I was looking at. Theyve been incredibly lazy with the wagons so this is nice. I wonder how much of a dick around it will be to change it.

Im not really overly thrilled about the announcements though. We all knew it was going to be an LS3. Other than that, eh. Anyone who brought a VF Redline might be pretty pissed.

Brought it where?

And on being pissed when a manufacturer brings out an upgrade; it's pretty normal that they migrate equipment into the lower specs, this happens all the time & you'd be a bit silly not to expect it.

Now that the SS get the performance brake option are Brembo brakes expensive to maintain? How much would a usual pad replacement cost, I've been told it can be pretty expensive

 

[Forg]

^ This occurred to me too ... a mate who sells bits through an internet side-business told me they're really not that expensive nor difficult to get, and then reminded me I was considering buying a car with 245-40x19 and 275-35x19 tyres ...

The front Brembos are really tight on the standard 2015 VF-I Redline fronts; I'll bet part of the motivation for a new stock wheel style for the SS has been re-profiling to fit the Brembos.

Yup.

I'm not ... doesn't take or cost much for the 40 KW gain with improved efficiency. Everything else is pretty much the same, and I'm not racing mine so not having rear Brembo's ... meh ..
