ok so i saw Vlos put up a piccy of his car and had the urge to do the same. ^.^ Its a 95 VS Holden Commodore (Americaland call them pontiacs i think and Europeland call them vauxhills i think)
Its a 5 speed manual (rare as all hell for his model car i actually had it converted to manual as i hate automatics generally, It growls louder and meaner than me with no coffee, and has a top speed of a tad over 150mph/250kmh, (Well thats teh fastest I have ever managed to get it to go, which isnt too bad considering its running an archaic single cam 12 valve, pushrod V6, 3.8 litre motor ^.^)
Any questions or other mod specs if that kinda thing interests you, feel free to ask me heh.. Sadly is not supercharged .... yet...

There home Deutschland call them Opels... Belive it or not the Omega Commodore that we know.. VB was on DE roads in 1969, AU roads 1978. VN DE 1983, AU 1988 and the VT DE 1993, AU 1997... And there motor, The same 1.8L east west that is in Mea's Camira that or the 3.0L inline turbo six. I did see a diagram showing how the one chassis fits both motors and undercarriage set ups... Sadly good cars but built to lightly fabricated, That so that the doors in mine rattle because the body is flexing and the car is braking away at both the fire wall and suspension housing plus the diff wants to drop out.

It looks like it is on the Chevrolet Caprise platform. Pontiac exports were called Pariseans. I used to work for GM , and except for the Pontiac GTO, which was exported from your location to the U.S., Holden were fairly unique, made for your local market. If by chance you have the Buick 3.8L, get the parts for a factory supercharger ASAP! As of 2006, GM no longer produced that option and replacement chargers were rebuilts only, and were only sold if a rebuild able core was exchanged. Also order the double pulleys required for the engine. Act soon, who knows how long GM will be around. The dealership I worked for is now boarded up. The city I live in has over one million people in it and now you can not buy a Buick, Pontiac or a GMC truck here any more. Nice car though. It looks to be in great shape.
Thank you! The car is indeed in great shape. Believe me, I was VERY close to getting an m96 to bolt onto the top of the motor, and add some boost, but in the end I opted instead for a newer car, as I wanted something with a few more mod cons and also some grunt.
Now instead of the commodore, im driving a BA xr6 turbo, which I must say, goes a lot better than the commo, although I had MANY good times and a lot of good memories in this car, it was a good girl to me, and Im happily in the process of selling it to my mate now, whom I know, will look after it just as I did n.n
