The VL drove great. Even the non turbo. Wonderful engine- smooth, gutsy. Had a few for work.
Couldn't agree more!
Fully sick mayyyyte!
💪💪 hectic
"hectic habib spec"
good afternoon my friends, ross reviews here again
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love the VL Commodore. Brings back good memories from 2007 when I had a VL the same colour. Wasn't turbo but I still loved it. I would still have it but was side swiped by a shit truck driver near Herne hill.
damn unlucky.. such an iconic car
Are you a Geelong boy?
Awesome video love it 😊
Thanks for the visit
The non turbo vl auto did 100 kmh in 8.1 the turbo auto 7.2 the manual turbo 6.4. Just for the record. The were beasts
Very fast for the time
Beautiful spec, not crazy over the top, just a car to enjoy getting around in on a Sunday afternoon.
Absolutely loved it 🔥💪
"The cars they have now are nothing compared to this" ----------- Wait and see, people will be saying that about the VF in 30 years.
The VF is still iconic 🔥
The good old Lebanese Lamborghini
Love it mateeee 😮💨
That intro was fully hectic
Nice cruzer great to see another old school aus 🇦🇺car the VL brings back memories when they where new 👍cool bro Vz Glenn 🏎
Glad you enjoyed it
The hectic Habibi VL you reckon mate lol,nah I love VK’s & VL's I actually had a stock VK & it drove like a dream,this brings back great memories as a kid growing up in the 80's in western Sydney,so I really enjoyed this review cheers brother 🙏
Good to hear mate I loved cruising this icon
Beautiful VL! I'm a Ford guy like you, but I'd love to drive a VL again
You should! I really enjoyed it
Nice clean example and set up - great cruiser!
Thanks! 👍
Awesome 😎 VL Turbo review bro 😎.
Thanks! 👍
The iconic vl turbo, this one’s gonna be good
Icon!
Fully sick bro
Hectic 😮💨
How that interior looks like that without a re trim is insane it’s sooo clean !!
I’d be itching to add a bit more power to it lol
Those number plates are mad too !!
_wow, it’s been decades since I’ve seen a stock looking VL … ya gotta love a cool sleeper ❤️😴 congrats to the owner 👏🏼👏🏼_
_well done Ross on the find_
Definitely a gem 💎
Our family had a dark blue VL Executive sedan back in the day as a family car. Lots of memories in that car. It was written off when an EL-GT Falcon failed to give way to my dad, who was towing sheet metal in his trailer at the time. The VL was written off, I don't think the EL-GT fared any better sadly (Bet the owner of the Falcon felt like a goose)
These came out when I was finishing high school. At the time the VL Turbo was the fastest Aussie-made car in current production and did 218kmh from memory on the test track (my wife's Mazda SUV is probably faster than that these days) and was quicker than the 5 Litre V8 versions at the time . I was driving a '78 Torana back then and absolutely lusted after these things.
I reckon it would've been the gearing that held the VL back, if you look at 90% of cars before the 90s they didn't have proper highway gearing unless they were German, slap in some new diff gears and a nice stretch of road and I reckon a VL T would hit 230 or a little higher
What are you taking about man, the speed limit is 100 it's all about how quickly you get there 👍@@Lotus-S70
They handle like a bucket of shit unfortunately...
It’s a cruiser that’s almost 40 years old what you expect
*Fuly Sik Sub Woofer Mate!!*
Another wicked video man 😊loving the Aussie cars on this channel ✌️
Glad you like them!
I love how people say vl commodore is a fully sick Holden. Most of it wasn't Holden, was Nissan you Clowns.
It’s still a Holden…
My father had a brand new one in 87 . Dark blue Berlina non turbo
That’s awesome
The VL will always be one of my favorite cars overall - even before watching Fat Pizza I thought they looked handsome and sounded fully sick! ;)
Sic mate sic Subwoofer.
😂
Great video really enjoyed it RR😉🇦🇺👍
Glad you enjoyed it
When the VL turbo came out there was a lot of talk about the potential. A bmw mechanic friend bought a VL turbo new. Having no internet he had to play with the setup himself to make more power. Soon it had a set of Simmons wheels, Koni shocks, lowered and we were off to Bathurst. In a time before the licence points system, with legal radar detection and emptier roads it was an epic trip chopping toranas, falcons and even some more exotic bmws, jags etc. Good times 😂
All jokes aside, 7.6 0-100 wouldn’t feel to slow, id imagine with a tune this would make well over 350nm of torque at the wheels so it would feel pretty quick. If it was manual with a lightweight flywheel, it would be pretty fast id say
Hectic as
Hectic Habib Spec ;)
there was a wheels road test mag back in the day where they had the speedo fully around and of the clock at holden proving ground
had a vl for a few years back in the day, that nissan 6 cyl eng was fantastic !
😂😂😂 title
Habibi
@@RossReviewsau hectic Habib spec 🤣
Miss My VL Calais best car I ever have had even though it wasn't Turbo version but with extractors and a homemade cold air intake it went well
Amazing cars with character turbo or NA
I hate the grey interior 🤮thank god you could also get 'em with a blue or red interior 🤩
I like the factory look
"Back in the day this thing would have been an absolute rocket" 😂😂😂
No dude!! The owner told you at the start, this was N/A until he got a turbo kit done to it. So this wouldn't have been a rocket at all back in the day!! It would have been slow!!
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF IT WAS LIKE HOW IT IS NOW!
@RossReviewsau oh yeah if it was factory turbo back when it was made, would have been awesome, but unfortunately the early years was naturally aspirated. Looks and sounds amazing in your video though
Got got a morning blue calais in melbourne, just sitting there. Damn fuel system rusted out, fixed the car 3 times over. Would sell it to get in on the crypto. Everyone knows its just hnaging aorund, always asked if its for sale haha guess people just want them
Caetano Bodyworks are still doing awesome ground up builds. Hit them up if you need high quality work!
Thank for sharing another Holden. You two are right. They have got away from building cars like this. It is interesting years later Oldsmobile had that front end styling on its cars. It is all GM.
What a sic crunt!!
Cornflakes 🤣
@@RossReviewsau I had to google the full clip after watching your video 🤣
Yuck.
So rare to see these days...
Very
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
It was cheaper for Holden to source a different motor than to retool for a new local motor. Keeping in mind the Buick V6 was considered for VL, eventually it found its way into VN.
GN Buick turbo would have been nice
"hectic habib" cringe.change the name of this video.
No I’m good he’s funny as
@@RossReviewsaugronk
I sold a factory vl 5 speed turbo in 2011 for 3 grand 😭😭😭😭😭
OMG 😱
Fully hectic brah
🇦🇺😤
What a hectic car
Awesome dose
What’s the song at the start?
Thinking of selling my vl calais. What are worth now
Bad time to sell
@@RossReviewsau everyone saying to put it greys online auction site. Do you knoe much about the process there?
Do an Ecotech N/A pleasee
Why bother? Everyone already knows they are shit.💯%
Was this a factory turbo?
Originally a NA but made to Factory turbo specs
that's not the proper dose.
Sounds good to me man
my na fg barra still alot faster
*No one cares about your crappy na Barra. VL Turbo much cooler than your drone na Barra pussbucket.*
And
Love it!
Thanks!!
Think the vl is the only car ive heard u say low power is the way to go !🤣
Shit box
You probably drive a NPC ass car
@@cl9_616 ye not a old rust bucket modded ruined shit
In the 90s my mums friends son bought one and we just couldn’t believe it was faster than my mates 253 Vh Well we found out pretty quickly what turbos were and that you didn’t need a v8 to go fast
you in sydney come to chatswood in northshore on sunday i meet ya to drive my 99 gc8 sti
im back in perth now :(
