This bloke built my 6L Vr spac and absolutely killed it ! Incredible at what he does and this vp needs to be seen in person to appreciate what it truly is ! Big fuck yeah to coumvamotive !
_cool conversion 😎 .. I remember back in the day (90’s) ppl say’n that the VN/VP/VR platforms weren’t going to be the ones chosen for modding because they were “heavier,” than earlier VB/VL 😂 .. guess they didn’t count on the engine & power levels of today💪🏼_ _sweet review bro_
Thank you for featuring this Holden. It looks like a 1990's Oldsmobile Ninety Eight. I enjoy seeking the Australian GM and Australian Fords to see what we did not get or what was similar. I like seeing Holden Caprice and Holden Statesman and Calais and Ford LTD and Fairlane especially. Thank you again for your channel for people in the United States to watch.
Great review of the Calais. The owner sure has put a lot of work into this car. A real credit to him. The sound is awesome and is a great looking car. Thanks for the review.
One suggestion for the owner. I used to own a burgundy one also. Colour code the grill surround to burgundy instead of the 2 tone holden matches them to. It does give more presence.
That's clean as a whistle, well done on the hard work man! I had a 2 tone 5.0 VN Calais back in the day, had all the bolt ons, I miss that thing it was a great car.
Tuff af brother 🤙🏽 Takes me back to the 00’s playing with these 90’s commodores only now it looks better then from the factory and with wayyy more power. Good job bro
Awesome 😎 review on a VP Ross Reviews. I suggest booking your plane ticket 🎫 on Tuesday for you to film the Holden Museum in Echuca Victoria before it shuts in less than 3 weeks.
Now that's a magnificent VP one of the best in the country,I love a good VN but this is mint hats off to the owner he has done a superb job here 🏆another killer review Johnny 100k subs by Christmas let's ogg Lad lol.
VN-VP my favorite years of the round shape commodores, something about the rear wheel arch that covers the rear wheel does it for me, all these higher spec models like the senators/calais/statesmans,SS's etc are all worth their weight in gold now days.
That's mint......hey Ross have you ever reviewed an AERO VN-VP I have only ever seen one in my life for real.....would love to see an original if you haven't already....todays review I'm going back in time just remembering HSVs from thar era when I was just late teens
Great looking rig and good review. In future reviews, can you ask about more specific details of the vehicles, wheels, tyres, suspension, diff gears, etc. I see those seats are not the calais, but maybe vs senator.
i used to own a VP SENATOR ORIGINAL 5 LITRE tried to sell it in 2020 for 21k and got laughed at by all the aussie enthusiasts mocking the amount i was asking. now the gronks wanna pay 30 to 40k for them..
Didn’t even know they made 5he "international " series Calais back then… the first international series I saw was the VT series2 Calais m and the VS series 2 Statesman.
Do you guys in oz have the net zero agenda going on as we do in the UK?........ On my bucket list before I'm dead and buried is to own a v8..... How much does your gas cost? Super unleaded is around £1.57p per litre
Happy to say that your comment is tone deaf and completely unnecessary. Making a snap judgement about someone for the type of clothing they wear is laughable.. I happen to know Michael personally and he is a hardworking father, family man and car enthusiast.. So think twice before you comment something so nonsensical that you sound like the delinquent 😂
I feel like pre VK commodores, VN, VP, VX aren’t as desired and it’s why there’s fuck all. Besides the VX they were pretty shit cars compared to the falcons at the time.
The owner explaining the engine conversion. Wow. This thing is a work of art.

Ive noticed ross is picking up the aussie accent and its too funny

He done well with this Vp🔥
The roaring Lion ! 😊
I’d be happy with a V6 auto vp if it looked like that!!!
I've always loved the VP look over the VNSS, fight me!
The owner has done a great job of building this awesome street machine! Love it
Glad to finally see a old ls Calais on here, got a blue vr Calais been converting for awhile.
it's a deadly combo on the lighter chassis.
One suggestion for the owner. I used to own a burgundy one also. Colour code the grill surround to burgundy instead of the 2 tone holden matches them to. It does give more presence.
I see what you mean but it looks more original the way it is
He does not like being a passenger in his own car
I wouldn’t either in that car 😂
Who would, those old commodores handling weren't the best and he probably has 10 to 20 years of time and money in it..
Does anyone? 🤣🤣
I don't like passenger's full stop in my car

He should definitely do like a detailed episode there maybe an hour special 🤔🤔 come on Ross 😁😁
Beautiful rare car. Tough Aussie V8. The engine bay top notch. 500 hp NA power. Great car great clip.
It's not an Aussie V8 it's got the Mexican muscle in it but still a beautiful example is and understatement.
Great review and very very clean build. Nothing like a Calais with a V8.
I'm glad when I pop the bonnet on my 89 VN it still has the original 5.0 in it. Daily driver with over 400,000 on the clock 💪🏼
That is awesome!
Ah my favourite Pre-Ecotc Commodore.
That thing in the greatest Holden VP I’ve ever seen. You can’t change my mind.
Now that's a magnificent VP one of the best in the country,I love a good VN but this is mint hats off to the owner he has done a superb job here 🏆another killer review Johnny 100k subs by Christmas let's ogg Lad lol.
This is the only car I have seen that hsv inflection wheels look right on. I've always been a sucker for a nice vp calais.
Awesome VP. Love the increase in quality on your channel
Much appreciated!
VN-VP my favorite years of the round shape commodores, something about the rear wheel arch that covers the rear wheel does it for me, all these higher spec models like the senators/calais/statesmans,SS's etc are all worth their weight in gold now days.
A very underrated car the VP Calais. They really stepped it up from the VN. Very nice build bro 👌
It really is!
Had it sliding off the mark ross
The owner looked at little worried for a second 😝
A true Holden man right there!
A Calais built to perfection 👌🏼
It’s a solid build
He built pretty much my dream car as a kid, the VP was and still is my fav of all time
It’s a beautiful car
Cheers for the review. You don't see tough VP's getting around anymore 👏
No problem 👍 rare gem
Tuff Vp! that intake manifold and exhaust combo give that LS stroker the perfect note imo. 💪
That's mint......hey Ross have you ever reviewed an AERO VN-VP I have only ever seen one in my life for real.....would love to see an original if you haven't already....todays review I'm going back in time just remembering HSVs from thar era when I was just late teens
I had a blue/silver VN Calais. Was a beautiful car.
Great looking rig and good review. In future reviews, can you ask about more specific details of the vehicles, wheels, tyres, suspension, diff gears, etc. I see those seats are not the calais, but maybe vs senator.
I’ll try to remember appreciate the feedback
What a weapon sounds and looks awesome Another great old school Holden done right👌Vz Glenn 🏎
The coumva bus, best fucking calais going around. seen that thing start from the ground up and its an absolute masterpiece!!
Stands that converter up quick. Sounds tuff
Happy easter ross
Great car. The owner looks like he is on edge. Looking for someone.
Just camera shy maybe
lol
@@RossReviewsau No lies mate, I'm in Melbourne. I heard the drive-by! 🔫😄
Definitely nicest Vp Calais in Vic, i hope mine to be even slightly as nice one day. On ya Coumva
Do you know the measurements of the front bar bezel
Sick car boys !!!!!!! Hardcore hectic !!!!! Love it !!!!!
Coumva does some amazing work, highly recommend him!
That sounds mint,my vl is getting the same 403 with a T56.
Watched this slowly get built over fb its a great car
Beautiful car mate! Well done!!!!!!
What a Beast!!!
i used to own a VP SENATOR ORIGINAL 5 LITRE tried to sell it in 2020 for 21k and got laughed at by all the aussie enthusiasts mocking the amount i was asking. now the gronks wanna pay 30 to 40k for them..
I had a 92 vp calais international series
Didn’t even know they made 5he "international " series Calais back then… the first international series I saw was the VT series2 Calais m and the VS series 2 Statesman.
They did I had one still got photos
@@paulsz6194300 were made in 92
heyyy i had a vp calais 7 years ago 🤣 car blew up tho…. still have the body (7 grand around marsden qld if you want a body only)
What's with the big rims and low tyre profiles?
No room for any bigger tyres
@coumva1R Low profile, large rim tyres are big enough already. Useless, lack of traction and terrible ride quality.
@ it’s about the looks not the traction or ride quality
@@coumva1R It's hideous.
@ that’s ok mate, jealousy can blind you
What a car 😍
one of me dreams cars bro, theyre so uncommon nowawadays
Always liked the vp two tones
She’s hot 🥵
5.22secs is pretty good. That’s a 13sec street car in street trim
How louder do you want it 😂 not loud enough shivers
Sounds like there's some horsepower there and it definitely looks quick
It’s fast
love that colour 🔥
Need more vic content 👌🏻
Great conversion..may be one day.
so well done
While Europe had the Opel Omega A wagon, Australia had the Holden VN and VB Calais Wagon based on the Opel Senator.
Why do I want one really bad now?🤣
I want one too 😅
wonder how much my vl calais in blue would be worth, would get my other car built like this
Got to love a tough na v8
Coumvamotive 🔥
Onya coumva
This is why my windows is open a notch at night, I'm far enough away so i can't hear the traffic but close enough to hear cars like this.
Pop the bonnet , Ross wanted to say Hood. 😅
Coumva.s car absolutely weapon
Sounds ooooft 👌🏼
gotta love it
Sounds great, well done to the owner. Beats any fucking Ev anyday. All the best. Dont forget to play ACDC, highway to hell
😈 love the noise
Do you guys in oz have the net zero agenda going on as we do in the UK?........ On my bucket list before I'm dead and buried is to own a v8..... How much does your gas cost? Super unleaded is around £1.57p per litre
This is fully engineered to electric .....officer
About 1£ per litre here in Oz, the lucky country for some.😅
Love it that’s a bad ass car
So tuff eh 🤟
How the fu@k did he not notice the "Statesman" Interior?? Nice VP 👌
Very scmick for one of them a mate of mine would drool over it hat's off to bloke nicely done up
Awesome car
Friggin HELL YEAH,very classy
😎
Nice car. 👍👍👍
It sure is!
Good video.
Thanks for the visit
Its the exact car that a bloke that looks like him would have.
I'm nearly sure I've got one of the only vp calais in Tasmania 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Very rare car
You should add 60 to 100kph for these vids...
Oooooooooft 😮
AutotopiaMelb 🔥😜👍
Rare vp calais?? they made over 100000 of them
Go try n find a clean one
You Just don't see these - coz they're too FAST 😂
-or theyre in a massive cloud of tyre smoke
These cars can be taken in under a minute with nothing more than a screw driver and the ac dial same as the vn
its funny how the old aussie accent has been lost due to europeans yeah mate
Shmick vp
💪
Sorry to say but hoodrich and nike tn is typically worn by delinquent children that think they're hard.

Fully hektic should chuck some 20” Simmonz on ya Calais uleh
5 sec is slow by todays standards
his quarter time is anything but slow
I feel like pre VK commodores, VN, VP, VX aren’t as desired and it’s why there’s fuck all. Besides the VX they were pretty shit cars compared to the falcons at the time.
Absolutely mint 👌
I've seen him more then a few times in the factories doing skids haha In Mexico of course
Maybe when it was a Buick
Your famous re haha
axe the thing but it’s to high and polish or paint the rockercoverd and catch can
don’t let clay Wong drive it
Si agapo ❤❤❤
I keep it at that height so cops don’t ruin me and the exhaust hangs a bit low
Aren't they a Toyota
