    incorrect information. The VL Group A made its (Australian) public racing debut at the 1988 Oran Park 250 in the hands of privateer Garry Willmington some 2 weeks before the Sandown 500. Sandown was only the debut of the factory team cars.

    Put the HDT VK Group A Commodore on instead. In 1985 it was pumping 197kw out of a 4.9L carby all Aussie 304 V8, more than the VL Group A. Also the HDT VL Director (never realeased due to Brocks bust up with Holden) was pumping a 5.6 Litre Aussie carby HDT-enhanced stroker V8 231kW. They were the real Aussie special vehicles in my opinion. RIP Brocky

    The VL was a very basic car that only needed to homologate the body kit and basic engine bits (4 bolt block, heads,and intake manifold). Nothing else mattered, hence the small brakes, wheels, and FE2 suspension, etc) Funnily enough, after all the work developing that intake system, the rules changed, and most went to the slide throttle intake in the race cars.

      Yuck Foutube the government bail-out of Holden was a one-off payment which didn't even stay in Australia - it went to GM in the US as an "inter-company loan" to help pay off GM''s crippling debt, which was affecting Holden's financial performance. As for being the fault of the workers and the buying public don't forget the role the then-PM Tony Abbott had in destroying the entire Australian motoring industry (and not just Holden) with his pathological hatred of the unions.

    • @brucelamberton8819
      @brucelamberton8819 4 роки тому

      Vinny V the Commodore was sold in the US though. Parr of the problem was Australia was always given a lower priority in terms of global position by GM; for instance, there used to be a market for the Statesman in the Middle East until GM ruled it was interfering with Cadillac sales, so GM stopped Holden from selling it there and limited them to just the Commodore, as there was no equivalent US-sourced model. That was the same in other international markets too.

    This must be the dumbest comparison in the entire world. Comparing a Walky from the 80's which was CAMs limited to 4.9 litres against a Supercharged 6.2 litre LS powerhouse from GM USA shoehorned into a VF commodore. Next comparison should be quarter mile performance between the GTSR W1 and a Top Fuel dragster.

      It actually was. It was built by HSV under contract to Holden. It pre-dated the SV88 (which is often mistaken as the first HSV) by about 2 months. The SV88, again based on the VL Commodore, came with a de-tuned version (136 kw) of the 5.0L V8.

    why would Holden have even bothered with only 180kw out of a v8 they could've just used the rb30et out of the Calais and made more power

    • @hotwire96
      @hotwire96 7 років тому +1

      Because much like with the Barra 4.0 in the falcon vs the 5.4 Modular V8, the V8 was positioned as the premium product and, I imagine, was also more expensive to buy. While it didn't make as much power, it was at least a Holden engine and not an enhanced Nissan engine, which I guess was not only important for the brand but also for their loyal (or potential) customer base.
