Not a big commodore guy. But I love it when people bore/stroke and or both, non performance engines, making them tough as sleepers. The 253-Six Well done man!
That is an awesome build. I would never have thought you could get an ecotec to put out those sort of numbers. I bet there are a lot of people out there with but hurt after racing that thing.
There you go kids, all that time spent as a bricklayer, painter, plasterer, tree lopper or butcher can make you as successful as this guy. Hats off to him.
Nice job, bro.. I got myself a 3.8 Ecotec bored out to a 4.2 in my VY... Crow cam, high-ratio rockers, cold-air intake, 69 mm throttle body and a few other simple mods... You've given me some nice ideas on where to take it.. If I ever get the cash-flow to manage it hahaha
Engine setup with a custom built T56, adjustable rear suspension, properly tuned suspension for track use and road driving. And that's how I would set it up
@@wheelgamersjack8339 not really; I couldn't give two shits. I do however find it funny that you actually think any "Barra Bois" would feel threatened enough by an ecotec. Lol nice troll though sweetheart.
Possibly the only VT with its fuel flap still attached.
JOTG2000 flap
Ahahaha
Mines still attached
hahahahah
You’ll never believe me but I’ve seen one

Well done man!
I bet he has hurt some feelings on the streets!
Felix the cat! Love that cartoon!
She a Berlina? Id be pretty devastated haha
8.7 -_- im runnin 12.8 hahaha
@@MiraSubieGirl just to rub salt in the wound. Berlina badges for a laugh
@@yeezywesty3651 lol
That's some serious mang mang.
Layton Ryan ahhh That’s not a mang motor.
@@legaltender86 just a bit of light humour bud. It's a very impressive build for sure. 😁
mang mang= one wheel peel
Mega Mang
Mang chook zooot
Not bad mate! Nice to see someone doing something different! Well done.
From a Ford man :)
I'm a Ford boy and this holden is beautiful
What a Mangfest, great job mate, keeping the ecotec alive :-)
The only v6 commodore that I don’t mind listening to haha
EDGEDAZZA his plate should be no mangs
True that 😂
He should have just waited for some rain like all the other v6 owners, instant 1000hp
THREEFIFTYONE I’ll fix that for you, “like all commodore owners”
So....what ever you drive mate , does that make yours gain an extra 1000hp when your skating in the rain ?
Not us front wheel drives :( rain = same amount of grip -_-
You try getting around a round about in a maloo when its wet. Cant even leave the traffic lights without spinning up or crawling into 2nd gear.
@ChrisHallett83 😂 I drive a falcon ute, wouldn't be the same without bob Jane's.
1000hp of MANG! 😎
Get your track gear!
shop.fullboost.com.au
Always great to see some not do the same as everyone else.
Great quality build to make those numbers repeatable and reliably.
Best sounding v6 ive ever heard. Nice job.
Kudos to you mate she's a nice machine you should be proud !
Insane! He should be proud of the mang mobile!
That is an awesome build. I would never have thought you could get an ecotec to put out those sort of numbers. I bet there are a lot of people out there with but hurt after racing that thing.
Getting owned by a pushrod V6. PRICELESS. Well Done. S
Those Buick engines are very good. I remember I had a vu with the 3800 and was a great motor. Would buy again
holy shit! this has got to be the only turbo ecotec video with out barra fans talking shit
Wow that thing launches so hard! Complete sleeper 💪
Never late in a 3.8... great effort
Just waiting for blokes to come in and say..
My Barra with only $3k spent on it will chop it
In before "should've LS swapped it" aswell. 😎
So true think some Barra girls might be jealous
Bro my Barra with with $3k will chop chop back to 3.8 litre
Ben Davy Nar lol not jelly it’s called enjoying the car community I couldent care less cool seeing different things lol you just assume shit
@@raycauchi5814lol here he is, don't lie to yourself mate.
Best sounding ecotec ive ever heard
Thanks for listening and doing more of these “features” on car and driver
Those are some of the cleanest passes I've ever seen.
Respect where respect is due 👍
Wow. Sounds really good, nice work 👌
So much mang!!
Now that is what I call a sleeper. My god it gets out of the hole quickly for 1600kgs!
There you go kids, all that time spent as a bricklayer, painter, plasterer, tree lopper or butcher can make you as successful as this guy. Hats off to him.
Good to see something different other then Turbo LS
Wow...Well done mate.
Fair effort... results speak for themselves :) nice build.
That og Kendal board is a deep cut.
I love the ride height for the drags, bullfroggin it!
More rake than a funny car gotta love that
Something I'd love to do one day, just push the Commodore V6 to its very limits
That is impressive, top work.
That’s unreal!!
The sound it makes is like no other ecotec!!!
That's how 4.2l Stroker v6 Ecotec sounds
Looks humble car I could picture it smashing all these expensive big brands Haha well done bro🤟🏾
Looking righteous with black steelies too.
Sleeper VT, stout Buick Ecotec, well done.
Forget "LS the world."
"Mang Mang the world."
Should be aye 😅
Good work
Wow that's sick that thing rocks
This needs to be stock in Australia
Sounds good for a v6
Wow that quick
Holy shit. That is one quick shopping trolley
Lol love it! Out of the ecotecs it's a vt! Mang mang gets you the bang bang!
Hectic mang
Right, I now need to compound turbo my AU. It's the only way to bring balance to the force...
No I don't know which one is the dark(er) side
So much mang I love it
Nice car
Well done Jim mate :)
Nice job, bro.. I got myself a 3.8 Ecotec bored out to a 4.2 in my VY... Crow cam, high-ratio rockers, cold-air intake, 69 mm throttle body and a few other simple mods... You've given me some nice ideas on where to take it.. If I ever get the cash-flow to manage it hahaha
Farkthats Funny bored out to 4.2 lol. You havent a clue clearly. V6s are a waste of money. An LS will go faster with a quarter of the money spent.
@@yommmrr - fuckoff, little boy... You seem to have confused me with someone who gives a flying fuck what you think
What a ripper
Put the running gear in a VN VP, about 200kg lighter
About 350Kg less actually. They are just a fraction over 1300Kg for the V6 models.
Keen to see an alloytec do the same think 🤔
wont happen
I see he fixed the radio falling out
Needs more stickers to go faster. Fill the back windscreen and put one along the top of the front should be enough to get it into the 7’s.
Chev badge knocks of a full second down the quarter
Very noice cobba....nice size slug on her too
Don't change the look of it. I like it with the stockies.
nice brother😎
If it looked more stock without the incredibly visible intercooler and fat tires this would of been the most convincing sleeper
The fat tyres are most likely for the drags, and there will be people who don't see the intercooler...
Fuck yeah. I'd swap 3 fish tanks and a vl shell for this beast
Yeh yeh mate
Engine setup with a custom built T56, adjustable rear suspension, properly tuned suspension for track use and road driving. And that's how I would set it up
WOW THATS FUCKING MANGNIFICENT MATE DONT CHANGE THOSE WHEELS THEY LOOK FUCKING BRILLIANT!
Maximum Mang!
When Buick introduced the Grand National GNX V6 they didn't realize what they started with their crazy cousins down under. 😁🤣😋
What's done to the diff and irs setup to keep it together?
Nice work!
Is there no requirements for a full cage and chute at the et and speeds the car is doing?
We're talking Calder here,let's just leave it at that. . lol
The car has a cage and seats. The clip at the start is old footage.
10/10 would sleeper again.
how fast is that.and went up to 4,2 wallets hurting with this,but how good is it.
never late in the maccas carpark mate
Have you guys got S sizes back in the Barra tshirts yet?
So basically it is a 3800 like we got here in the grand prix and 4th gen camaros, only fully worked. We have a few places that build those in America.
yes, almost the same motor...
How do the times compare with the drag race Buick GN'S etc in USA?
what holden wanted you to think the power button did
What are the pros and cons of V6 engines compared to Straight 6 engines like the Barra, 2JZ, RB etc?
More expensive to make big power my man.
Wait! ... there’s two of you?!
The VT...... My heartstrings have me reminiscing. That looks like a mongrel with those wheels and tyres, times doe it justice.
A V6-engined Commodore packing 1000 horsepower (769 Kw, or 1014 ps)...!? Too right, mate!!😊
FUCK YES MANG GANG
Nod bad considering its bogging down hitting the arch on the wheel.. Needs tweeks but it's still got potential to go faster
What transmission they running?
Try that with a Ford v6 if they ever made one capable of that output
cue the barra fans - "a stock xr6 would chop this "
Yeah my local stock.taxi xr6 runs 8s😮
fully matted?
Ωραιος ρε πατριδα
Fuck yeah
I was there 👍😂
Could lighten it a little with alloys for rims. Might go that little bit quicker. 👍
What about put the engine in a vs there lighter
@don't trust joos mmm what about my favorite the lj torana , that's got to be another sec
Don't mind me just looking for all the but hurt Barra Bois
Lol 1000 hp from a barra is nothing
why? this thing is still way off the best barra falcon
Found a couple already
@@wheelgamersjack8339 not really; I couldn't give two shits. I do however find it funny that you actually think any "Barra Bois" would feel threatened enough by an ecotec. Lol nice troll though sweetheart.
@@WholeLottaBulldog Buthurt barra boi
Troy David - PRIMED from the NT in the backround
3:56... The VT was released 97', not 96'...
Yeah its a typo its a 98 model. 👍
My NA ecotec does 11s.
The scateboard behind you is it for sale lol
How does he get away with running those speeds with no chute.
Surprised it can get down the quarter without popping into limp mode.
The ultimate mang
My life my way I’m known in drag racing a long time workers drag car my words magazines
