**** yea.
It's on the front cover of the next Street machine. Not only is it the toughest looking VL in Australia, but has 1200hp to match.

bit of a mongrel bodykit, Gp A parts mostly but the rear bar appears to be an LE skirt with the bottom half of the aero skirt attached underneath...
love these "1 off" HDT commodores... they just would have slapped a car together out of parts they had around the shop... Gp 3 motor, Gp A kit, bilstein shocks, aero wheels... bit of woodgrain... few stamps and stickers and were done
Haven't got pics , but I'd have to say 2RUMBL gold calais when it had its carby set up in it , and the VKI-11A blown injected 5litre because I used to own it . dont look like much but damn it went hard
Both look Nuts. Dont know if it's just me but I reckon the out of a bonnet look is usually more suited to the VB-VK shape better than a VL shape (especially with calais fronts).
I'll have to say my favourite V8 VL would have to be Steve Santos's HSVSS.
cheers.
was at calder once and saw a white brock vl (not sure what model) was a haddad customer, had a vortech charged 355 and ran a 10.5 racing the same way as he drove it there, u would never of thought so as it was quiet as and not much to look at.
Otherwise yeah gotta agree with HSVSS!
HSVSS has a way better engine and interior though. And being an original it makes it tougher for some reason
I just hate the sparkly paint job with the airbrushed lion on the bonnet and the big shinny 22s... other than that, its an awesome car

I think this is my all time favourite VL V8

It's a ****ing ridiculously tough vl and alot of thought has gone into alot of areas of the build, but 'street' was not one of those areas. Once again, amazing car, but 'street machine'?
