Do you think the Calais turbo (non gen) will still be worth a shit load ? Does the price and demand thing come down to supply ? I think in 20 years time there will be so few VL's available, especialy in excelent condition that they will be well sourced. I guess its realy going to hit home when they stop making parts for them (aftermarket) Looking at the monaro coupes, even when not a gen GTS there still stupid priced. Makes me think its the fact that there are so few around now. I know the gen ones go for 4 times as much, but still wouldnt mind getting $100k for my Calais in 10 years. haha

They all run C.A.P.A Flash Tuner's man.
People have tried Motec's/Haltech's with these thing's and gone backward's.
How do you know it ran 21 P.S.I?

On 21 psi. Heaps of potential behind her. Just a matter of sorting the problems out and taking it from there.

As I mentioned above, still a lot of potential behind her.

Do you realise that a guy with an xr6t could buy 5 vl turbos if he wanted to, but he doesnt.
In 20 years time i think the xr6t will have a similar amount of fame as the vlt does now.
If 2 cars pull up at the lights, one being a 600kw vl turbo will immaculate paint and body work, and the other being a stock xr6t, guess what, 99% would pick the xr6t as the best car. Of course the vl would be more fun to drive, but thats only one aspect of a cars overall worth.
VLT's will be known as the first Australian cult car so you really cant change that
Falcon Turbos are nice car with alot of poteniel but everyone will have there own opinions and will be a endless debate

25-03-08, 00:11 GMT+10#72 It is really laughable trying to compare a 22+ year old car housing a 23 year old engine which was produced once and updated once with a car using modern design and technology which the company has now spent a further 800 million in research and development on.
I highly doubt that if the VL was never produced, then the Falcon would have never come out turbo.

26-03-08, 03:54 GMT+10#73 It's too early to predict prices for VLT's in 20 years time they only be worth what someone is willing to pay...
The HDT Turbos will be worth alot collectable written all over them the untouched ones

26-03-08, 18:13 GMT+10#74 xr6t never was and never will be next vl. These things weigh too much. As for vl being POS family car, in 20 years the xr6t will be a HEAVY POS family car.

27-03-08, 10:05 GMT+10#76 meh.. just get a V8..
haha
joking..
my brothers got a 6 speed XR6 Turbo and regardless of how much it weighs it ****ing screams and all its got is a flash tuner.
Have a look around at the weight of most new cars and they will all be right up there, everything is getting heavier.. hell, if holden made the VL today it would probably weigh 1700kgs with all the **** that would go into them.
as rubes (hi rubes!) said, it will be an endless debate and no point arguing..

28-03-08, 18:57 GMT+10#77 Hi Stoney hehehe.........The 4.0 Litre motor makes up for the weight in the Falcon i think anyway i actually wouldnt mind one regardless what people think of them

ofcourse they weigh more man , they have so much more features and creature comforts inside them. not to mention the technology under the bonnet that makes up for its weight

30-03-08, 08:50 GMT+10#79 After reading this whole thread i gather that 21 psi is the secrect combo to run a 10.0 in a XR6. Igz your car must have been running 22psi to run that 9sec pass.
Damn i just let the cat out of the bag

30-03-08, 19:32 GMT+10#80 the owner of this car is a friend of mine hese a customer of creatd motorsports. This XR has a ****LOAD more behind it, uses a 3spd with transbreak and the transbreak wasnt used for the 10.0.
Without a doubt it will run a good 9sec pass on full song
I saw it pump out 530kw on dyno, and on street its nothing short of insane
it was using the std 5spd on dyno aswell.
