Too bad that in Australia you hav to wait for open just to drive any supercharged engine or turbocharged petrol engine (turbocharged diesel is acceptable) and you cant have 8 or more cylinder@@RossReviewsau
Top review👍, nice tough ute. If it scares you; but in a good way, that makes it more fun & less ordinary, right?. I have a blue vfss ute(my 1st V8) it's fun to drive, no circle work yet or 11's.
@@RossReviewsau when i started watching your channel, your accent threw me off a little. I thought why was there Aussie cars in the U.S/Canada .Then i recognized the scenery as Australian. It's pretty cool what you're doing, you get to drive some amazing car's.
@@sandygarage3802 haha thanks man yes my accent is very strange :P honestly love it here in AUS def gods country.. the cars have grown on me here so much! spoiled for choice here
@@RossReviewsau Your accent's fine, i hope i didn't offend you with my previous comment. I had a trip to Canada in 2018; while i was there i saw a lot of pick-up trucks with mountain bike's & a number of older vette's.
i wish i could right now bro but due to coronavirus i can't review any stuff from Car Giant WA until it goes away :( they have so many amazing cars right now too!!! :(
On the track days ive done there's always a few beginner guys in utes like this, one time it started to rain and both came in cause it was to dangerous as they couldn't keep them straight. However they are the ultimate bogan sports car ;)
How can you be aussie and still not even pronounce harrop correctly..... its not two Har Rop its all one word go jump on there youtube and listen to how its pronounced its horrible listening to it be murderderd over and over
What an awesome video if this was In like 2 year's from now I would serious consider bying it and the price on the add is very resonal. I also love the commit In the add that anyone under the add of 25 will not be able to test drive this car for everyone safety lol
thanks m8! ya the price does seem reasonable! def not a perfect car but man the potential is HUGE! n straight away making 600 to the wheels gotta be happy at that price. haha ya this car is def not for P platers!haha
i love how u switched the cam when it slid so you dont show your chicken face, lol great vid edited: never mind much respect for keeping second clip in lol
Hi Ross i live in Perth and have similar set up with just slightly less power but mine is a Calias v Wagon and i have a g tech to measure 0 to 100 and have done 4.2 on the street and 3.48 @the motorplex on drag radials that ute should be faster than mine as it has slightly more power and mine is 150 kgs heavier.
very nice m8! still yet to sit in a calias... that is some seriously quicktime! the drag radials doing their job! i think your right with the right tire and surface set up this could easily get a similar time! could only imagine that pull!
Yass love it another good review Ross. I'm looking to put a harrop 2650 into mine it will be insane once it's done. You say you don't really like the ve's I have the ve ssv z series with all the leather sunroof and custom gauges that were custom made specifically for the car. I reckon you would change your mind 😆. Looking forward to the next one mate.
do it bro!! they seriously make the car that much more insane! the instat power is unreal. i am not the biggest fan of the base VE models but yours by the sounds of it would def change my mind! haha your ute will be a beast with the blower on! cheers for the support
@@RossReviewsau yeah that's it mate soon for sure. I am mates with the female owner of that vf clubby you reviewed a while back that's charged deffinately makes a difference. And yeah I no what you mean about the base model that's why I went for the one with factory brembos, leather, entertainment system, sunroof and other minor things making it a bit nicer then the base ve especially the 2008 series one. Chances are you have seen it out and about if your around the scene in the West.
@@aussieadventures9934 im sure ill see it around once the virus stuff kicks it.. cant wait to head to some meets again! be sweet to see the ute once you get it all sorted..
Manuals are great till bout 320rwkw but once your up around 400rwkw plus its very hard to get traction in a manual.. thats when the autos are better as they hold the power down alot better.. thats speaking from experience
"comes with new tyres" You mean before this vid? ;)
haha! this thing will go through tires like nothing eh
haha! lets hope its after :P
them 2300 Harrops are BEAST! same as that VF you did..
yup same one i believe! epic superchargers
Johnny mate,time of your life burnouts & all hahaha,another great one keep it up & you & the family take care mate.
thank you bro! can't wait for the 10,000 sub xr8 tire fry! haha you take care to bro
Hurray ! Finally a holden
HAHA gotta sneak one in from time to time!
Curtis LSA yep finally a Holden
@@vickyhall9946 Check out my channel for more Holdens :)
holdens are poo but ok
The supercharger v8s are great don’t get me wrong. But I’d love to see more turbo v8s getting around
m8 im desperate to try out a turbo V8 set up!
I got 600rwhp turbo maloo and its a weapon
@@DailyBoosted that’s in my to do list, question.
Was it just a job for turbo kit, cam to suit. Injectors etc etc.
Stock bottom end?
@@Dylmark it's built bottom end us well :)
@@DailyBoosted awesome, how’s your fuel economy?
Hey mate I have a stock 2010 ve ss Ute maybee you can do a review on it and remind us all how good they are stock from show room floor
True send me a message on fb or Instagram
I love the Australian cars

Too bad that in Australia you hav to wait for open just to drive any supercharged engine or turbocharged petrol engine (turbocharged diesel is acceptable) and you cant have 8 or more cylinder@@RossReviewsau
I also like the bi modal exhausts@@RossReviewsau
I get the same L/100km in my 4 banger Evo X MR lol.

Hey man if I’m in a v8 car when it go’s to 60 miles an hr i scream

Sounds awesome mate. That’s crazy power for a Ute. Yup , a death trap. 🤣
yes! haha very much so a death trap. would be literally undrivable in the wet lol
Ve utes are awesome
this one especially
Hi Ross reviews this is Jordan’s car reviews here. Can you please review the HSV and Mercedes cars and SS commodores for sale at car giant WA please.
i wish i could right now bro but due to coronavirus i can't review any stuff from Car Giant WA until it goes away :( they have so many amazing cars right now too!!! :(

ya in the wet this is seriously a death trap! haha def the ultimate bogan ride!
Looks like you had a blast, what a machine!
Was a fun ute
I'd be ripping the plastic tray liner out quick smart.
They are a magnet for rust.
they're plastic ?
@@kolesyt9280 Tray liner not tonneau cover 😁
@@_._._._._._._._ yeah thats what i meant trey liner is plastic ? Plastic doesnt rust
@@kolesyt9280 Water gets between the liner and tray and cannot dry out causing rust to form much faster.
@@_._._._._._._._ yeah ig but it wouldnt happen if it was sealed properly ?
How can you be aussie and still not even pronounce harrop correctly..... its not two Har Rop its all one word go jump on there youtube and listen to how its pronounced its horrible listening to it be murderderd over and over

I had one which I sold before the licence left again! They're awesome
Would've been awesome if it had the 6 speed
still awesome but yeh manual would have really made it more interesting
Manuals are great till bout 320rwkw but once your up around 400rwkw plus its very hard to get traction in a manual.. thats when the autos are better as they hold the power down alot better.. thats speaking from experience
Weeeeeep
As a mechanic VEs are not reliable 😂
haha ok cheers m8! hope the XR8 BA ford is on the good list anyways
Ross Reviews they are tho odd one does a timing chain but for the most part they’re pretty tuff💪
Ross Reviews if it makes ya feel better I’m looking at getting one😂
@@boss302frostyfordfan2 what's your thoughts on the vz last of ls1
I've had two Ve ss both 400+ rear HP and never had problems they are extremely reliable.
series 1 interior is crap series 2 is better... for interior is very ugly
agreed.. ya these series 1 interiors are terrible
@@kresnik_ss how much
Oh
I’d love to see a 6.0 LS with a vortech v3. Much prefer the centrifugal blowers to PD’s
if i can find one it will be reviewed! lets hope :)
Did this have anything done to the auto gearbox? Most let go around 600hp mark.
I had limited info on this car unfortunately but i don't think so.. the auto did feel a bit clunky at this power level
She is an auto?
I like the maloo and I also would love a Holden first generation Colorado with an LSA or a 350 Chev engine swap
that would be cool eh if the colorado got the LSA! haha
There is a tuner called Harrop that gets second gen Colorado’s and gives them a supercharged petrol LSA engine swap
@@RossReviewsau
I still like the Colorado either way cause it is the most Aussie when it come to dual cab or lifted heavier utes@@RossReviewsau
(NOT STOCK), oh thanks
Just in case you didn’t know
I prefer the manual though cause it makes me feel more like a man
manual is the way to go in cars like these
@@RossReviewsau yeah manual for real men
Ross it's called utesanity & the Owner is utesane
600 Holden HP. Roughly 480HP in real world ;)
lol spoken like a true ford man!
He did say 600 RWHP, that’s about 700+hp on an engine dyno
@@ebay4dave yeah i know bruhz. Just stirring the pot. Solid build, thats for sure 👍
What is that accent?
Canadian :P
lol yes the ford interior is much better but as a ford guy i like the holden utes cool note on that one great vid mate
thanks m8! yes ford had a bit more personality than this VE but ya can't fault the engine and exhaust note :) sweet ute
after this i want you to feel the lack of power in an old fx ute. Would be a great review ahah
haha i should eh! funny tho driving my BA after this i felt the lack of power already :( time to order some bits for the ute
