Anyway, VERY rare anyone tried it on when I had that car in 4 yrs of driving. Since I've gotten the BA everybody is doing flybys and sitting up my ***.

Work that out.

I understand that, when I had my XR6 every man and his dog used to try to drag me, now that I drive an XR8 no one bothers me anymore, very noticeable, they tend to wait until you go.

Don't know why, the 8 is ok but there are many quicker toys out there.

Click that link above for more images and a stupid story that finishes something like this

This was a tough looking VL, which could obviously pull a fat burnout. Bad luck about the smash mate, but we are all proud of you for not being afraid to drive it hard. We look forward to seeing pics of your next holden mate.
Wonder why they get there bad names :the_finge

[sfr rob]

[Franky]

Hahaha funny thread, I hate seeing P platers trying to drag me in VLs especially when they are turbos and mine is just a SL.

I've seen literally thousands around Geelong and i'm shocked if I don't see one without scratches or a dent

: thats so true! theres guys with VK and VL commodores and they ALL! have P Plates on them lowered with about 18" wheels on them and they have been crashed keyed or something.

[Bucket]

IMO a lot of guys (not all ok Ryan ;)) out there choose the VL Turbo's to get into
A) Its cheap way to get into a quick, highly modifiable car...they have no experience with quick cars but that doesnt matter.
B) Their mates will love them and they think they will get respect because they own a Holden...but mostly "A"
Now, ofcourse if you do ratios to reason, there are going to be more Idiots in VL's then other makes of cars, Some people truly have a love for cult cars like the VL (i.e. Ryan etc) but for a lot of people in the lower socio-economic bracket, its just a poor mans skyline to compensate for what they lack in other areas.

[uranium_death]

Ok. I've been flamed in other places for saying this, but male mentality dictates that driving a sexy, fast Holden makes you appear to have cojones.

For years now I've always been of the opposite opinion. I live a 5 minute walk from my local shopping centre, which is just up my street (I'm directly off Springvale Road) and we get idiot hoons doing burnouts and all that crap in the carpark all the time. And what do you know? There are a few jap cars, but the bulk are VH-VL Commodes and Toranas.

When I see young fools trying to look big, what do they drive? Old Commodores.

IMO, if these young little rats are caught screwing around, acting dangerous on the road, tear up their license, stick it up their cornchute and make them undertake their Ls again to learn what responsible driving is.

Driving is a privilege, not a right. These little punks should learn to respect the safety of others, even if they don't care about their own.

exacly why I don't want to turbo mine, I only drive about 50km a week and it's 100% town driving, if I did it to mine dickhe*ds will try to drag me at every set of lights

Yeah any tafe is really bad I fear walking through the carpark because there is normaly some idiot in a 180sx or sukuki swift with a big fart can exshaust going 60km through it.

[GTWHOA]

thet are good bang for buck thanks to the nissan engine a mate of mine used to own one now he owns an R32 turbo with an lsd. we have bets placed on how long till he crashes it lol.

[petzke]

that video . yeh ridden off lol
its cheaper to geta new car and take off all the "full sick parts" and plastic stick ons than try to fix it i guess. and as the guy says when they are walking around it dw man get another one,, a better one (if im not mistaken its somethign along those lones) lol

You are right about some VL driver's who are just young moron's.But don't forget there are some of us who actually really enjoy driving them.Not for the popularity of them but actually because we like the cars.My daily driver is a VL Calais Turbo,and the 16 k's to work and the 16 k's back are very enjoyable indeed.So next time you see one on the road you might be shocked to see a 29 year old in the driver's seat instead of a young pimply headed 18 year old.But for sheer enjoyment theres no beating my XW for a weekend blast,now thats fun!!!!!!!!

I'm like you mate.

I love VLs, but not because they can rip burnouts or because they have a jap engine, but just because I love the look of them.

I'm, probably a rare example of a 20 year old P Plater VL driver though, because everytime it rains, when I come home, I get out the chamois and chamois it, so it doesn't get dirty from the rain streeks and everytime I get in it, I always take off my thongs, so I don't tread dirt and stuff in it.

So I'm actually quite fussy, when it comes to making sure, it's always clean. Very rare amoungst P Platers these days. Especially the ones, who drive VLs.

Sorry for swaying off topic, but yeah....

[Gabbs]

I find when it rains is when all the idiots start appearing. It's not the car thats the problem its the moron behind the wheel.

Including 38 year old women who own and drive VL's such as my sister.

Your right there is one guy somewhere around my house that as soon as the rain comes down he comes out, He drives a VN V6 and it's pretty good sounds good runs very well looks good also, I can't understand why he has to come out only when it rains to do burnouts?. Now instead of doing them in the back streets behind me he now comes down my street, I have reported many of them in the past and I'll be thinking about it soon if he keeps it up.

Probably because he doesn't have the power to spin the wheels in the dry!

[Dauphin]

Maybe he doesn't wanna scrub his tyres. I've seeing people doing drifting lately in the wet, perhaps due to that drifting film that came out not long ago.

Today I was driving the Laser and doing the legal speed limit (50ks) when this dude in a clapped out yellow VL, sits right up my clacker.

He wasn't a P Plater (Late 20s early 30s). So after he speeds up (Probably doing 70-80ks) and takes over me and it sounded like ***Grits teeth*** a VN V6 rattle box and it was very dodgy.

I just thought to myself, of how much of an idiot he was and how he's the type of person, that gives VL drivers, a bad name.
