Nice Vector, Actually to get a CV8 to the same power as the GTS doesnt take much, all u need is LS1 EDIT, exhurst and extractors should give u about the same.
 
Has any one seen any holdens with chevrolet badges on them and do you know why there on there?
 
i see lots, they are there because they have chev engines in them so people like to change the badge to a chev badge. unless it is a export holden then holden rebadges them to chev
 
yeah i like the badge better, but it doesnt really belong there
 
*Reviving Thread*

y0! How's everyone? 2004's a busy year for me!

I saw a Silver Commodore SS with Chevrolet Lumina badges. A lady was behind the wheel of it.
 
This thread's gone dead...

Anyways, has anybody seen the new VZ Commodore? I'll post pictures later.
 
Just wondering. Does anybody know of the VY Commodores use the motors from the VT Clubsports? I was looking at pictures and specs in my MOTOR mag today and they looked alike.
 
Here are some Coupe4 specs. The motor is in my avatar at the moment.;)

Coupe4... Is it just me or does everything Holden churn out look like a Commodore? Even that Torana had the body of a Commodore, even if it did have a Vectra front end...

Monaro

Coupe4

Even the Adventra/Avalanche looks like a Commodore wagon!
 
Coupe 4 is crap, you need some LS2 power like the HSV Clubsport, Clubsport R8 and GTO (HSV).
