"Power to burn, shame about the parts"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Replaced steering rack three times.

Coolant leak into cabin.

Rear door rubber collapsed, making the window inoperable.

Water pump failed.

Tachometer failed.

Temperature gauge intermittently inaccurate.

General comments?

Brilliant performance in a straight line. Excellent handling apart from camber changes in the rear suspension.

Fantastic Aussie V8 sound.

Comfortable interior.

Disappointing that accessories are occasionally unreliable, but the core product is solid.

Not so much a comment but a question, if any one can help. I own a '93 VP SS, travelled 88000klm and my odometer is running over twice the speed. How do I rectify this?

The speedo drive is an electronic pulse from the gearbox, rather than a mechanical cable. If you go to a transmission workshop, or a speedo/instrument shop, they should be able to diagnose this.
