vt ss 5l or vt calais 5.7l

[rekless driver]

I have been looking at getting a new commodore for weeks now.
I have found a stock vt ss 5l I like and a stock vt calais with a gen 3. Both have same kys. So I would like to know witch one would you get?? :w00t: :yeah:

The calais for sure... climate control, 3 window trip computer, electiric everything 220kw vs 168 kw !!! Go the Calais !!

VT SS 5L for sure if its manual thats one of the babies i wouldn't mind gettin as soon as funds permit. Sound unreal can always stroke it plenty of options.
Dont get me wrong the gen3 is pretty mean but ya cant go past an aussie 5L especially when they are worked!!
Go the SS mate you wont be dissapointed

werent the vt version of gen 3's a bit dodgy.

i havent had anything wrong with my vt gen 3, until yesterday afternoon.

I thought the VT 5.0L were 185KW. But I reckon the VT Calias 5.7L.
Just listen to any knocking sounds in the engine when you first start it (cold if possible).
While running hear if the engine is running quiet. Might give you a fair indication of any piston slap.

Hmm hard choice there, 5ltr vs a calais (could just get a 5ltr calais ) I'd be inclined to get the calais. Its got all the nice little luxuries, its also probably going to hold its value better being the gen3. You can also get decent power outta them very easily.

 

[VTSSDUDE]

Yeah but with the Gen III you can get trenderous amount of power out of them without even touching the internals.
