Holden Ute Commodore VU SS 0-100km/h 5.7l LS1 Gen3 0-60mph EP#24

[@JoeAchilles1]

Man they bring back memories for me, I lived in Oz 99-2003 and these were everywhere, I used to think they were rocket ships 😱 Another great video lads 👊🏻

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thanks for the love Joe! P.s i couldn't help but notice you didn't show your driving patches in your camera gear bag???

[@shaunrayner]

i Owned one of these, same colour too. watching this video has made me regret selling it.

[@mr.k1896]

Could’ve been this car. You never know.

[@gtfloorfarkn6718]

as stated in your other maloo review, mine is a vu ss manual with extractors, exhaust, tune and otr and has a genuine time of 5.5 seconds to 100kmh, with a cam and retune am sure this time would drop dramatically, tried and true method of extractor, exhaust, otr cam and tune wakes these engines up and doesn't cost much in comparison with turbo vehicles ( turbo, manifold, gate, water, oil lines, ecu, injectors, fuel pump etc) many guys have vt series 2 to vz (ls1's) with said mods and are well into the 12 second quarter range, bloke from perth daniel chipmaster had the first vx style monaro naturally aspirated and got down to 11.2 with no supercharger or nos, but had to rebuild many auto gearboxes lol. keep up the good work and review as many different ozzy vehicles as possible.

[@lchave2681]

These will be worth a lot in another ten years

[@lappyverbatim6498]

That LS1 seems a bit groggy. Probably needs some attention. Some of the early ones were also renowned for quality control problems and such. I find they chug a bit in really hot weather too as expected

[@Pittaz]

Thanks for the video guys. Wish she was a manual though.

[@andyturbo]

great vid guys! btw did you check the exhaust? i can tell its at least got a catback. Sounds like a fullback with hotdogs (standard extractors )

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Damn, totally forgot to mention it in the video. To confirm it was just a generic cat back exhaust, it did have mufflers but was a bit droney. Standard headers and cats. Under acceleration, it actually had a nice note.

[@andyturbo]

Zero To 60 Thanks for the info. Keeo up the great vids guys!. Im glad you mentioned the 5L vs LS1 debate in the v8 world lol. My view is its more a personal opinion both with pros and cons as you guys mentiones. The 5.0L cammed and full exhaust has forever been the best sounding V8 supercar like V8 ive heard. Second to that would be the AU Xr8 Windsor with the same mods. But performance wise as you said the LS1s are the way to go. Hope your travels bring you to Melbourne again soon :) Cheers!

[@freddienz68]

Ok I will try that. I didn't realize that there was a app for that... cool .. cheers for taking the time to check out my videos.

[@JacobHall1601]

Do a 2001 Holden caprice luxury at its finest, LS1 purs

[@vtwindad1549]

I have one, probably much slower with all the added weight compared to the ute. Much lower than my old 07 Xr6t however it's more comfortable and pulls just as hard from 100km +

[@7angas]

I cant seem to find the dynolicous app on the apple app store. How did you guys manage to get a copy?? Love the channel. Cheers.

[@jacobcollins1126]

The vu is a cross of vt and vx and the 5.7 ls1 came out in the series 2 vt ss

[@mr.k1896]

The road was clearly wet here. There are puddles in the road. Surely, this had an affect on the time right?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Absolutely would. Anything less than prepped track will affect a cars accelerations time. Even the age of a normal road can significantly effect it. Same with things on the car, worn plugs, rings, air filter condition and so on affect performance, we used to just shoot for a real world time. Do 5 -10 run and put the best ones in the videos.

[@coopsnz1]

Xr8 same year was 5 litre 220 kW

[@Pittaz]

Xr8 - 220kw and 435nm Vs VU 225kw 460nm But the xr8 was a lot lighter.

[@Terraceview]

Get'm in manual and you do 5's.

[@vtwindad1549]

I have an LS1 Caprice, much less power than my old 07 Xr6t.. heavier aswell.. I will say though from 100kmph it drops back and pulls what feels like just as hard.

[@skewsy8667]

Name of song in start?

[@gonebush843]

That's a clapped out one, look at the km's on it. $2000 for a Maf Tune and cam on a clapped out ls1, i don't think so mate.

[@garykegs18]

Is the Gen 3 best 5.7?

[@labronjon8971]

Song?

[@elvindavo2550]

Oh and the 1995 v8 ss 5litre auto ute totally stock can do 0 to 100 in 7.4 seconds thats with 300 000kms on her

[@harryhart6039]

I got a 02 v6 ute recently bought a v6 amorok it’s does 0 to 100 in 8seconds

[@digisuboob]

i got the amarok. they fkn fly for a 4x4

[@Pittaz]

Turn the air con of for 0-100 run surely 2 people in the car and auto. Sorry just trying to work out how mine does it in 6

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Are you using a something accurate to time it? Brand new they never did 6.0 seconds so that would be mega if yours is quicker than a new one.

[@Pittaz]

Exhaust intake and tune also manual. I think I was just wondering while there’s such a difference

[@walteraramini8675]

How dare they rap to an ACCADACCA tune!!

[@Pittaz]

This thing must of had an exhaust though yeah?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I think it was stock. But i could be wrong. It was so long ago now.

[@wuzihuzi]

Would the MT be faster?

[@Pittaz]

Yes it would although part of it is the terrible diff gear ratio in the autos.

[@gtfloorfarkn6718]

must be a bad engine, gearbox as they did 0 to 100kmph stock in 6.5 seconds and quartermile in 14.8 seconds stock.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Hey GTfloor. This engine actually felt quite strong. Something that inspired this channel was the realisation that cars, very very rarely do the "claimed 0-100 times" in the real world. Until people get some semi accurate timing gear they don't realise how slow cars are on an average bit of road with used tyres. I can't recommend downloading a timing app and having a play in your own cars.

[@jackworkman1999]

you should try to get a 5ltr ute and get a comparison

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Would love to get our hands on one. I used to want one so badly when i first got my license. The LS1s were definitely an upgrade, but the old 5 litres will definitely get singing with a few mods.

[@jackworkman1999]

Haha that’s it I’m planning on getting one and modding it to a 355 but not sure if I want to get a older 5ltr or a ls1 But time will tell Sadly the most powerful v8 I can get is the crewman ss because of nsws great laws 😂 Keep up the content guys Loving it

[@robertdakic6503]

Ahh fuck I can’t watch it. It’s bringing tears to my eyes.

[@elvindavo2550]

They are faster than 7.4 seconds lol mind you you had a passenger there's maybe. 4 of a second brings it back to probably a more respectful 7 seconds flat but even with auto they are capable of about 6.6

[@Nick-cz9eb]

My dads got a vu making 385 hp

[@originalgoat3368]

I’ve got a vu making 500

[@scottysencounters]

These guys didn't look interested into this car

more so camera shy, back in the day. big fans of the LS's.

Hahaha my VX SS been sitting in shed for 3yrs almost 300 thou ks does that in 5 seconds

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Lol, you must have the fastest vx ss in the country. Either that or never timed it with an accurate bit of timing gear 😜

[@ls1hinchy546]

@Zero To 60 will put video up soon, 300+ kws naturally aspirated, nah plenty VX SS with single turbo and twin on utube just type it up

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

@@ls1hinchy546 Ahhhh assumed yours was stock like this one... Stock they roll like 180kw atw, when they are in good nick, you've probably got twice the power of this old girl. Still keen to see a video. Also if you are in to tuning your car, get yourself a dragy, great for actually benchmarking times. Would be keen to know what your dragy 100-200 time would be. Can't find many Commodore owners that are ballsy enough to test that.

That's bloody good going for a big front wheel drive like a Magna. Even when they were new they were hard to get off the line, unless the road surface was near perfect.

[@user-sn8wu6kw1p]

[@spaghetti941]

How can it be that slow? My old na Supra was faster than that.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

How did you time your supra?

[@spaghetti941]

@@ZeroTo60Tube with a timer. Also on paper a stock na mk 4 Supra does 6.5 - 7 sec. They make about 169kw roughly 130 ish to the wheels. For a 5.7 litre v8 I expected a lot more. I don't understand how it can be that slow. It should be 5-6 sec. Even stock turbo supras. 206kw will do 5.5 secs.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

If you are genuinely interested, look in to accurately timing acceleration runs. (Timer on the speedo is normally 10-15% off.) The effects the road surface has on the time is also a lot greater than most people realise. We set this channel up to show people what cars do in real world conditions, you like if you happen to have a bit of a race of a set of traffic lights. We are yet to find something that matches factory claims out on a normal road. I think a modern awd DSG car with sub 400hp is most likely to do it. The lambo we tested with awd dsg ended up half a second off as it was spinning all 4s. However even in perfect conditions a stock auto ls1 in a VU Ute won’t break 6 seconds. Might get close with some decent tyres, and a prepped drag strip. But getting them off the line quickly on a normal road is tricky. Thanks for checking us out and if you have any questions let us know.

[@BatMan-oe2gh]

Full of Shit guys, my 2001 VU SS Ute has 240 Kws as standard and goes like the clappers. I still have it today, 2019, and only 2 days ago, pulled out in traffic and left a smoke screen behind me and had to slam the brakes on so I did not hit the car I gained on VERY Quickly in front of me. My ute is Auto, 253,869 kays on it, with a Shift Kit and when it clicks into 2nd, if I have my foot down, it will smoke the bags, in economy mode, and I run 245 x 35 x 19 Inch. All I have done to it is put headers on and upgraded the ECU. 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds. One very quick Ute. Maybe you guys should learn to drive a fast car. Me, 41 years steering fast Holden's and Fords. Oh, dont need the Mafless tune either. And watching the video, you guys are not putting you foot down, or you are driving one very sick VU. Total BS.

[@Pittaz]

These things are selling for $5000. Wow this video is old!
