Before you compare Walkinshaws to your average box read the link below..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_...ore_SS_Group_A (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Commodore_SS_Group_A)

i think the walkies are pretty ordinary looking really, sure when you see one you check it out, put personally its nothing to jump up and down about, the body kits are pox looking i think.

An aerodynamic kit on a mini van still makes it a minivan. The body kit on the Walkinshaw makes a VL into a Group A (race car L.O.L). By the way they didn't just put a body kit on a VL, there was a lot of research and development put into it including the Twin Throttle Manifold. It's a car that everyone that loves Vl's wants but can't get their hands on. ---------- Post added 22-05-12 at 22:07 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by Petrievl [View Post] i think the walkies are pretty ordinary looking really, sure when you see one you check it out, put personally its nothing to jump up and down about, the body kits are pox looking i think. It's not about jumping up and down and your opinion on the body kits looks isn't what we were discussing it was wether it was aerodynamic or not. You should have read the link I posted before making a fool of yourself.

ive already read it previously, and your reply to borci88's. i know im not the only one that thinks vl walkies while being a nice car, look quite odd. i think its just the colour, the a red group a are hot. ---------- Post added 22-05-12 at 22:30 ---------- sure there aerodynamic, and thats proven, they just look ****, true its old technology, but i dont see why so many people love them, sure there different but.

This was my original question, Explain aerodynamics and engine building, what you and everyone else thinks of the actual car has no relation to the question. Fact is Walkinshaw body kit is aerodynamic and the engine in the bay was a freak in it's day so the fact remains that HSV can build engines and they understand aerodynamics...

Walky bodykits look pretty whaleish. That being said, they are still a nice car (if only for the color and interior). There was alot of development put into the bodykit. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Sad just sad....

Sad just sad.... that signature was made for all the wankers that put wings and fully sick body kits on there excels etc.. oh and the wicked pod filter. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

end of the day a the walkinshaw is and always will be the legendary vl. its body kit actually worked. and the engine itself had different heads, 4 bolt mains and the race manifold.

Fair enough......Now you've answered the question... Thanks.

its not that opinion its the fact. walkies are one of the most admired vl's not just the look but the whole package...

lol, auto turbo berlina wagons approved.. but manuals banned? who writes these rules?

Sad just sad.... i was putting it in sense as if it was an ordinary everyday common car aside of its famous 'walkinshaw' title.. no **** their too different cars.. back in the 80's with 180 odd kw thats equiv of a 11-10 second street car nower days.. and owning a hj coupe has nothing to do with it.. their a boat but i love them aside of that.. each to their own

LOL HAHAHA i read both pages you guys should be comedians its like a jerry springer show, I loved reading the posts bloody pissa, but yeah i think its a joke with all the laws, but that hasnt stopped most of us, just try not to get caught and theres nothing we can do about the laws there only gunna get harsher. My opinion i dont like vls all together but i might be startn another battle lol

As for an everyday car, just ask anyone, I drive the absolute crap out of mine all the time and at one stage I drove it as a daily for about 4 years and I never heard anyone call it a boat. I've heard birdbath, bat mobile and plastic pig but no boat.

Walkies are mint, p platers can drive Vlt wagons but vlts are still banned! Case closed so close thread!
