I know the I6 is an american motor that has been redesigned so much that it can now be called the only aussie 6 in australia and not a packaged motor. |

Hmmmm, interesting thread.
LH SLR5000. Just love the paint job, the big lairy bolt on guards and the SLR5000 lettering down the side. Big 'n' lairy, perfect for the era. BTW, I reckon the 4 door torrie looks better than the hatchback. VH Group A. The blue meanie. Of all the Brock commodores this one appeals the most. Can have any colour you want as long as it's blue!! VL Group A. The last of the Brockies. Just seems to me to be a very nice package. Anyway, these are 3 Holdens I'd be happy to own.

As I turn by baseball cap around backward, I’ll say that it would have to be the FULLLY SICCK VL turbo bro.
![]() Seriously though, my all time favourites would be the HZ GTS ![]() ![]() and the HG Brougham. ![]() ![]() Cheers, Danny

A nice VN-VP SS or even the 6 has a bit of beast about it...
The rest, not my cuppa. And sorry, the VLT gets no credits in my book. Fast car. Not a Holden.

Yes they use a Japanese engine but they're still a Holden. Just like how they use Buick V6s in the other models. |

im sure there are many differances between the yank clevelands and the ausse ones (sold in many x series falcons) i hear the cleveland block put in earlier x series was yankee but these blocks were later pulled out and studied in aus, a recast was made in aus and these are thicker walls than standard, clevelands lived a very very short life in the USA due to emissions, but were used in falcons until xf, the distributer hole is smaller and the block thickness was the only bottom end differeance i believe (some might know of more changes) but the heads the yanks got were 4v open chamber and 2v open chamber, australia in all of its greatness made a 2v closed chamber which allowed for much higher compression, i know people who have made thousands exporting thease heads to the seppo's, go to google and look on yank sites about extracting more power out of there clevelands and they all mention this 'great aussie head'.. go on go look.. i dare ya |

I meant that it's Australian because it has been redesigned by Ford Aus. The government gave Ford a big grant to keep redesigning the motor. The Holden motor is a package motor that requires some assembly. |

I agree with you though, Holden is far more popular then Ford here in Aus. Also about that trying to promote Ford on a Holden site, go to that link I posted about about The Favourite Falcon and you'll see there was only 1 mindless comment, the rest were all good. |

Love the HK GTS and the A9X. Plenty of other great ones out there, but these two are my favourates.

A9X Hatch - the only one I'd consider poking away on the garage.
