- Saving up atm for VT SS Manual
Hi all,
Need some help if you please. Am currently saving up to buy myself an SS manual but am unsure whether I should get and VS Series 2 or a VT, by later September I'll have enough saved up.
What I do know is that the VS Series 2 was by far the best from the VN to VS range.
What I dont know is much about the VT model.
Did VT come out in only series 1 or was there a series 2 also.
I do like the looks of a VT body style over a VS, but I also need to factor in the engine which the VS series 2 was brilliant.
If I could relate the VT, it is in the same position in its range (VT-VZ) as the VN was in its range (VN -VS). I never liked the VN model, easy to steal, substandard instrument panel and quite plain, VP got a bit better, and so it goes on.
I started going to car yards last weekend to scout out a VS or VT SS Manual and came across a VT Gen 3 SS Manual for $8000 *bargin*, but unfortunately it sold earlier that day.
Now I have heard of Gen 3 before and assume it is to do with the motor as it is a 5.7lt as oppose to the standard 5.0lt.
Can I have your feedback as to what I should be aiming for.
It is my first V8 that I will be purchasing so I need to know what I should look at regarding the body (inside and out) and the engine. I would consider both 5.0lt and 5.7lt, and as mentioned before, needs to be Manual.
Thanks fellow Holden Followers.
