Even in standard trim these early Commodores were quite a well balanced car. I owned a VB model with 3.3 litre 6 and I used to really flog it on dirt roads. Steering was always predictable. The only problem as a young driver is that it made me a little too confident. Eventually I wrecked it totally after hitting a washout on a gravel road at high speed ( for the conditions) rolling several times then sliding into a table drain. 😊

The fact the basic architecture is fords motorsport block and GMs motorsport block respectively means jack shit. They are completely different.
