1981 Holden Commodore VC SL review from Australia and New Zealand

"Methanol burning beast, these things should be illegal"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Snapped engine mount.

Nothing else because it is such a beast.

General comments?

SL/E interior added.

It's such a weapon, she hangs out nice on a wet day when I can unleash the grunt.

Tears up a footy oval like you wouldn't beleive.

The VC SL has a fine combination of power and comfort all in a convenient sized package.

The 3.3L can be made to sound deep and stuff with a good fat exhaust.
