    This car hammers. Extra cred for it being a manual. It's interesting that more and more people seem to be LS swapping the VLs instead of developing the RB30ET or the Holden 5L. Being a trainspotter, I suspect that this example is not an original Calais since there are no headrests in the rear and the courtesy lights that the Calais models had above the C pillar window are missing as well. That said, kudos for the 'sympathetic' restoration and for not being tempted to take it down the 'sex spec' route.

    Great review of the VL. It sure sounds good with the supercharger fitted. I like that the owner has kept it mostly factory looking. I would be interested to see what 0-100km it would get if it would get traction straight way. Would be hard with that amount of power. You would have a lot of fun driving this car. Especially being a manual.
