1993 Holden Commodore VP review from Australia and New Zealand
"Drag track giant killer!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering line is faulty and leaks a very small amount of fluid, when stationary over night.
Glove box does not operate correctly and needs simple repairs.
General comments?
The car has been put through its paces since I have gained ownership, and I have made some observations:
The car is very responsive and creates an incredible amount of torque.
The standard car runs a 15.1 - 15.6 quater mile and with enough willing can race off skylines and other well known performance cars.
The standard brakes are often smoked because of the amount of power the car creates over short distances. This can be solved by replaing the stanard brakes with perfomance brakes.
My VP runs 11.8secs over the quater mile (400m) admitedly I have done mine up a lot. This performance version of the car easily outruns most high performance cars. eg. skyline, wrx, rx7, etc...etc..
