What i absolutely love about VF is even now the looks of them is timeless they still roll and blend in with anything that has rolled out a factory recently. Awesome car, sleak build 👌
The first time I saw one on the road I didn't like the rear end but I was sold on it not long after. Holden was really good with styling toward the end particularly.
Whata beast! And even though David is having to short shift off the line, it is astonishing how much power the VF's can put down and still stick to the road like shit to a blanket
Enjoyed the review of the Clubsport. The supercharger really improved the performance of this car. I really like the look and the sound of it. Would be a lot of fun to drive. Can’t beat a manual. Credit to the owner.
It's very sad how Holden Australia had taken away something very rewarding to be an Australian that has had a huge history, it's a real shame just how they look and how it's too bad for us to not see these anymore, same with Ford. Lest We Forget.
Yea we did have a couple of instances during filming where there seemed to be a misfire in 3rd gear above 3500rpm. I had Graham West Workshops take a look and turns out 4 of the spark plugs (oddly all on the drivers side bank) had eroded tips. And they were iridiums. They also found a problem with a few spark plug lead boots slightly melted where they had been in contact with the ceramic headers, which they replaced. The plugs were also replaced with the copper variety and the car was put back on the dyno. It now revs right out with no misfire. Its a pity this wasnt detected prior to filming..eh.
It’s a very sad era when half of the npcs these days would rather drive around in a Chinese electric box on wheels because the government told them so rather then driving cars like this
@ it’s very sad mate it feels like these days if the government tells Australians to jump they will. We were once a country that was laid back and about fun now it’s the opposite
A couple things... - A vf hsv is a $100k car, average person doesn't have $100k for a car, not to mention modifying and maintaining it - Also, car enthusiasts drive these because they have a passion. Thats like saying everyone should wear expensive, designer sneakers ... but most people couldnt give a shit, same thing applies to cars, right?
@@Freedom_Now_2024 Get Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. I have them on my VF GTS that makes 760kW. And they hook up a lot better than the factory Continentals ever did.

Walk-in for sure don't fold your arms peanut. She's just another base tune mock up. 200,000kms 😂😂😂 I would pay you 12,000k all day for that it's tired. It's a 557 pack doesn't mean it's 557kw I could slap it on a dyno would either give you more or less depends on the day. Does not mean it needs a stupid badge on it. Don't forget your U licence either gonna need it in the nanny state

I was the same mate, I thought the arse end looked like a BMW at the time.. now I think it’s the best shape ever ☺️
As a FPV owner I still love the HSV range… tough looking cars and big V8’s you just can’t go past a big V8.
Amen

😞 I miss the good old Australia
Agreed. They hit the peak with the VF, awesome car from stock to HSV. Then they packed up and died.
I worked at Holden. They were the glory days in many ways. And they finally got it right with the VF but by then cheap imports were all the go. Sad.

Does this have the stage 4 street fighter package from kpm motorsport? Very nice ride ❤
@@moistcat1461 Cheers bro
@@AusOpenBodybuilding Not sure. It's prob more like stage 3 but I can't confirm since KPM have more or less shut down.
Glad you got it looked at n rectified mate! Was a beautiful beast
The more power you give these cars the slower they are to 100kmh.
Who cares bro
True but 60-120 is wild
Great car . Thanks for the review and thanks for lucky man who owns this beast .
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it 👍
That is one wicked VF
Job well done 👏
Beautiful car
Nice vf , i enjoy driving my supercharged vf , theres just something about it, ot doesn’t get old
They are addictive!
Thank Roos for sharing a HSV . Power indeed.

No but it’s nice to have
Beutiful car a credit to the owner. I wonder how the supercharged R8 ls3 compares to an lsa in its power delivery
LSA has less mid range
Perfect.

Nice car plenty of horses what’s the box a standard tr6060 ?

What's his new daily though....it better not be some 4 cyl dual cab diesel or SUV...yawn...
It's actually a Model 3 lol. Its cheap to run and a breeze in traffic but its no HSV.
Don’t ask 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm willing to bet his daily does 0-100 faster than 7.2 seconds.
This guy obviously can't drive his own car... 7 seconds 0-100!!... Might as well buy himself an AU falcon. Learn to drive your beast dude!!
It just skids the wheels from a stand still..
to be honest hsv should not have come with auto at all 😂😂 if u want a hsv , u should know how to talk with the car ❤❤
Manual is the best
Yeah idk about that manuals a bit too slow especially compared to the VF automatics
Except that once you have a fast car, autos are faster than manuals

Whos that smooth looking no neck looking dude in your profile pic
It's not a Walkinshaw W557 pack. Walkinshaw don't use Magnuson superchargers
This car is doing exactly what it's designed to do isn't it David?make people jealous 😁
You have ruined a hsv it is no longer original
You do know that you normally keep all original parts to return to stock if needed
@ not always that’s the plan but it usually does not end that way been there done that
Adding a supercharger is never a bad thing
Organic clutch. Must mean no herbicides 😂😂😂. Be the number 1 customer for sure. It's a badge. Oh cmon no edi for hsv anymore you just lost 5k in the head unit, you chubby unit
