VF Commodore has arrived

[Phantom]

If i were a Phantom Pirate: Use synthetic meantime, bite the bullet and sell it while you have the chance but don't tell the Missus.
Look for a wood duck numbnut selling his fleet car or gran's gift car on ebay or CarSales, selling what *appears to be* the same depreciating outgoing model (but is MY12 SIDI with the LFX), and coordinate it so one goes out the driveway as the other comes in.
Then I'd book it in for the amazing new cam that's recently developed for the new v6 Camaro and the drive it like its stolen / cane the arse off meantime to understand the new motor so as to appreciate the difference when it comes back from shop with OTR, VVT cam, and the header mod.
Take the Missus for a drive and tell her you finally fixed the problem and it only cost [INSERT ARBITARY $$ HERE], and that you are happy and not being a grumpy bastard anymore. And give her a quick pash in a remote, romantic location (ahoy!)

Oh yes words of wisdom eh? sell it?
LOL

reckon he might already have the one he deserves with the way it's been treated.

SO how 'bout that VF ey?

Yes would be a better drive than the VE on paper, will pop the hood and check on the new steering setup too.
Everyone's carrying on as if its a radical R2D2 servo motor, when everything I've read says the accessory serpentine drive is simply replaced by an electric motor.
Still works the same hydraulic pump but by being electric is somehow better integrated to the ECU, for park assist and swerving to avoid hazards and I think also incorporates speed sensitive steering.
I could imagine the venerable 6.0 litre in Park Assist with OTR and full system pressurising the steering pump accurately and repeatedly with mmm... mang! while onlookers go out of their way give you the lil dick sign iIII/
Raison d'être for the big change was $$ of course, to incorporate Stop / Start running but have (sorta) canned it from what I gather because people said no to more capital outlay to score the miserly incremental fuel savings.
