VF Series II Calais OR WN Caprice?

[Merv Murray]

Hi
With you tlml678 & 426cuda. You won't be disappointed in your choice of a WN CAPRICE V. Make sure you get a rare colour combination. Have tried to upload photos of mine in Empire Bronze but no luck.

Yep easy to put Brembo's on your Calais. You can even fit them behind the standard 19's.

I didn't think that was possible.
Do the front and rear calipers fit?
Are they a bigger rotor as well?
Would love a set of silver brembos with T2 rotors on my Cal.

I see there are stacks of kits available Thanks to Google.
What about master and booster?
Are the redline drilled rotors available as well as a straight bolt up with stock vf v cal wheels?

Drilled are only on the LE's
Damn

Cracking price on this 2015 WN - $26500 DRIVEAWAY - 2015 model with only 87ks. It's an L77 rather than an LS3, but considering these were late 60's new, you'd be hard pressed finding more car for the money..

These things will only get cheaper as they age and more people turn away from large cars like this. They really are value buying if you're into them.

You’d probably go something like DBA rather than factory rotors, anyway, and their cross-drilled models weren’t stupidly priced last I looked into it.

There were LS3 cars aplenty for ~$30k when this thread started ... I’d pay the extra ~$3k for the LS3 car, if it were me.

As we all would, but if they were there, I don't know where they have gone. This one is the cheapest at $27.5k excluding dealer charges, so in reality you'd be paying close to $30k. Very low kms though and a sensational buy regardless.

The rest start at $30k, but again - none are 'driveaway'.

Looks like the dealer took it home for the weekend and took the photos in front of his/her house? Probably far better than whatever else was available in the yard.

Dba have brought out a drilled only version of their series 4000
The xd range thought they don't seem to be available yet

Hi
Pay the extra & get a WN with an LS3. If you buy 1 with an L77 then happen to drive 1 with an LS3 you will be really pissed off. I still have a WM with an L98 but also have a WN with the LS3. I payed $28,000 before dealer add ons with 59k on the clock. Two years old & still like a new car. Took all the good stuff of my WM & put it on my WN.
