To enhance the V8 from 165KW to 180KW, there was a different exhaust, knock sensor, recalibrated ECU and HSV Air Cleaner.. if auto 4th didn’t engage until 80km (guess that made it feel more powerful) but would use more fuel in the 60-70 zones

Good video, well done, especially the cavalcade of models at the end. VB was released at the end of October 78 with models hitting the showrooms on Nov 78. I've been going to NSW Holden day for over 30 years, I've noticed over the years a transition whereby in the early era there were mostly original cars, but the pendulum has shifted to more modified vehicles.
@GTZ05 Ай бұрын
Thanks for your message, glad you enjoyed. I was close with the VB at least… I have nothing against tastefully modified cars, but when I see something to more original spec I have even more appreciation for them.. Dad had a VB SL/E 4.2L, 4 speed manual with optional central locking but no power windows. Was a fantastic car to drive, comfortable, not fast, but sounded great and loved the Freeway… The 253 V8 was standard for VB SL/E but that changed for VC.
