    I hope this channel takes off. I'm liking the POV's and really enjoy the standard reviews.

    FYI
    The HSV with this LS3 engine produced from 317kw to 325kw, not 307kw.
    The 307kw was the last of the LS2 GenIV that was in the first VE HSV’s.
    The last HSV’s that had the LS3 produced up to 340kw with that motor being in the first of the GEN F series HSV.

    I'm pretty sure it's real carbon fibre. A mate had a VF SV6 and if you lift the little rubber mat in the tray just forward of the gear selector you'll see what I mean. Kind of cool for a Commodore. Some other pricier brands fake it.

    Very good show, in how review and talk about the cars, others show more presenter than the car. but the only problem I dont like is your camera. you move around too much. fix that and it will be better than other car shows ive been watching.

    You lose a sunroof and 9 speaker BOSE sound system by getting the wagon instead of the sedan. Keep in mind

    • @JB-qw2jk

      I’d be happy without the sunroof, the Bose sound would be more of a hit IMO.

  • @ASHERTESTIFY

    comparison between the VF and the VF2 for it's SS range. I remember the VF having that cylinder deactivation so does that improve fuel economy for an everyday driver, as a Honda accord euro owner(using 9.6L per 100km of consumption) is there any explanation to tell that would be a good or bad move to go for this car?

    • @JulianKapa
      @JulianKapa 7 років тому

      If you got an Accord (V6?) you can get the Calais V V6. The VFII V8 had about 10% higher claimed combined fuel consumption over the VF.

    • @ASHERTESTIFY
      @ASHERTESTIFY 7 років тому

      MADD617 so regardless the deactivation function it still drinks alot like all v8s?

    • @JulianKapa
      @JulianKapa 7 років тому +1

      According to the claimed consumption, the VF SS uses 11.5l/11.7l and the VFII SS 12.6l/12.9l combined(sedan/wagon). I don't know anything about the real world figures though.

    • @Lordkeggles
      @Lordkeggles 6 років тому +1

      I had a VE GTS and fuel consumption was good for a 325kw V8. 850kms a tank average. Only the L79 Engine deactivates the 4 cylinders on cruise. Not the LS3. I now have a 2016 CAPRICE V VF with the LS3 and it goes well....very well.
