Engine uses about 3.5 litres of oil per 10,000km.
Diff clunks.
Automatic transmission grinds when changing at low revs.
Plastic interior components rattle.
Tyres wear prematurely due to camber problems.
I have a VT Series 2 SS with the 5.7L V8 engine.
The engine is powerful enough with some minor modifications.
The auto transmission is dismal at getting the engine to do what I want it to do. When it should really kick down to first it stays in second. Sometimes I have trouble out-accelerating V6 cars from a rolling start because of this. From a standing start the car is quick.
The car is comfortable and still lots of fun, but it has a lot of problems. Unless I sell it soon I can see myself spending big bucks on getting things fixed.
OK.
