V8 VH-first car

[foammedia]

Toranas are rare as now you should have been around a few years ago, Back in the 80's when I as a teenager 80% of the cars cruising town were V8 lh/x's with big alloy drop tanks, hot 202's in LC/J's or even V8 lc/j's They were in all honesty as common as Commdores are now

thanks for your comments everyone
pandaman, its an old pic when it had stockies and vl wheel covers
your right about the look, from the front the look bloody tough. it only has 1 muffler ATM so it sounds real beefy :driving:
i'm looking at all the lc/lj coupes (which are probably too expensive for me anyway) and lh/x's. if i can sell the vh i'll probably go for an lh or lx manual sedan though or another vh with a 6.
if i still have it next year i'll try for an exemption of the grounds that i had it before the laws came in. only problem is it wasn't registered in my name and ran out of rego since then so the rta might say i didn't own it.

Hmmm, excellent taste in automobiles my friend. LX torries can look truly awesome, and with a manual 202, would quite likely be faster than the V8 VH. Now that would be smooth.

lhs and lxs look awesome done up. dunno about quicker though, my mate has a 202 in an lx hatch and it does come close but you can tell theres 2 more cylinders in the 253 i have a dual exhaust to go onto it aswell and that boosts it by something like 15 kw and 26 nm. should be fun.

i found a nice vh slx with a 2850 and a 5 speed today so me and my dad are gunna have a look at that.

foammedia, i wish i was mate.
born in 90 though so i missed out on all the good decades like the 60s and 70s.
cheap fuel, muscle cars, AC/DC *sighs*
