Car looks in excellent condition. Sounds amazing. Performance is as expected solidly in the 6’s with its contemporaries from Ross’s other reviews: WH Supercharged LS1 statesmen - 6secs VF HSV Ute Auto - 6.02secs VF HSV Clubsport tuned manual 6.08secs AU S/C Ute -6.17 secs XR6T Ute manual - 6.12secs BF F6 - 6.18secs VZ cam and bot ons - 6.20secs E3 Senator - 6.34secs VZ Club R8 - 6.4secs 608hp VE S/C Ute - 6.58secs HSV VY Senator Auto - 6.68secs 2005 BA FPV GT - 6.8secs XR8 Ute manual 6.85secs Dragy is a brutally honest performance tool. Doesn’t provide the ‘safe space’ that dynos provide.

What happened to all these early/mid 2000s clubsports and SS models? 2005 feels like it wasn't too long ago, but I hardly see them around anymore in Sydney. Did everyone lose interest and sell them when the VE came out? or did they simply garage them when Holden shut shop? Same thing with turbo JDM coupes, all but vanished from the street once they started appreciating. I guess with the release of SUV and dual cab after dual cab updates every year I didn't realise how long ago we left the last performance car period.

Yesterday in Newport QLD Aus I saw a 1947 Ford.I think the model was Super deluxe that 47 ford sounded nice but not as good as that HSV VZ R8 definitely not as fast and that HSV.I also just wanted to let you know I subbed to you and I love your video your the best car KZbinr I’ve seen in a long time!! Does that HSV have brembo brakes??

Love the video bro and all other vids you've done the only thing about this video bro is if you had of really snapped it into 2nd you definitely would have taken off between half a second to 1 second off. I know it's not your car and you probably were just taking it easy with gear changes that's cool 😎 👌🏼 👍🏻 anyway keep up the good work bro wish I had your job 👍🏻
