VF HSV Comparison.. Auto vs Manual* Tuned vs Factory! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Awesome videos mate and when ever the world 🌎 go’s back to normal I’ve got a vf GTSR and it’s will be the only GTSR with a 427 L7 in it with a Kong 2650 on it should make over a 1000hp and would love to see it on ya channel so hopefully 1 day u could come to NSW and do a review on it 😎👌
WOW!!! i've never been more frustrated with coronavirus than now 🤣 i need to see this BEAST! lets hope it can happen soon.. once the borders are open i will be finally going east :) lots of reviews waiting
@@RossReviewsau tell me about it it’s been hard getting the last few parts 4 my build 🙄 so over this Covid sh1t
And there is a few videos of my GTSR on my channel 👌 let’s just say I love to drive it hard and they love to do burnouts 🚗💨💨 and definitely hit me up when you’re coming over I’ll give you the keys 🙈😎👌
I had a look and subscribed man! Epic 😍🔥 hope the country opens up finally soon would love to see it
@@RossReviewsau awesome thanks 4 the sub mate and will definitely hit u up when the car is done and hopefully we are back to normal soon 👌😎
Let’s hope the country is normal again ASAP
For me I would take either of these HSV beasts.. They are all just true signature Aussie Icons!👑🇦🇺
100% Clay! HSV made some damn fine cars..🇦🇺
the VF range is so epic! love that Maloo but gotta have a 6MT!
100%! that SV Maloo is fire.. just needs a walkinshaw pack and a 6MT!
Both are beautiful cars bloody loved this comparison Jon top work. LS3s are the best thing since sliced bread
I had way to much fun launching the clubby 😍🤣
@@RossReviewsau
I had fun too 😁
Yep two beautiful Aussie icons,like others have said I'd have either as well,there's no doubt we have some of the best cars in the world,what a bloody shame our car industry is finished it's devastating mate,top notch review Johnny brilliant.
A crying shame.. these cars where so damn good.. 🇦🇺🥲 wish they were still in production
Awesome review Jono 😉
thanks for the keys! hope you enjoyed the episode :)
Loved the review
Glad you liked it 2 legends for sure
Nice access mate. Thanks👍
Cheers man
I already consider the VF range modern classics even though it's only been four years.
I would love to get one before they get too old, even just an SV6.
Modern classic mate, if possible atleast aim for SS
all the Vfs are really good i must say.. i would aim for at least a SS but for a family cruiser the SV6 is still nice
@@RossReviewsau haha, an SS would be nice. But I don’t think I need a 6.2 litre V8 for mainly 50 zones
@@computerguy222 oh yes you do... lol
@J S why do you want the SRT? the holden would be the smarter car to hold onto.. but i do like the SRTs
Another great video cheers Ross
thanks brother! love the aussie content
Yea Both Great Cars Ross. im in UK Have The HSV VE Clubsport R8. But Here its a Vauxhall VXR8 .Been a Holden Fan From the 80s .Great Vid
yes very lucky you guys got the VXR8! they are so much fun.. love these Aussie muscle cars
Well done mate..
thanks brother
Love the reviews! Where to next from here?! 😎
next review is a V12 toyota ;)
Thank you for this comparison. Yeh great review mate.
You mentioned grip?
Best grip street is a set of premium touring tyres.
Angel knows that.
cheers glad you enjoyed the comparison! I must admit i really enjoy manual Vfs! good looks good interiors and great feel.. would love one next to my Typhoon one day
Good review
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Hello Ross been looking forward to the review of these two great cars. I agree I like the Clubsport with the manual. Great sounding cars. Good review!
Glad you enjoyed it! gotta go a manual with a V8 its just so perfect
I still feel getting into an lsa vs Na will make it feel like a different car. The supercharger gives it way more grunt. And a lumpy cam 🤤
oh 100% the LSA is much more alive.. but still i think they need a small tune just to really awaken i find HSV/Holden limit the potential to much from factory.. way more power to unlock with just a tune
Definitely the Clubsport.
One minor correction is the if you sell over the when. both are awesome but i actually prefer sedans.
cool vid bro!
Thanks for the info! gotta love a manual eh
Love the all blacked out hsv’s
they look so dope together eh..
The VF commodore is one of the best cars to run off Australia's production line and was the last true commodore! The ZB is a great car with the wrong name in my opinion.
I can agree. We can call it a ZB commodore just not a Holden. Since commodore was first used by Germany and their Opel commodore.
yup your not wrong mate.. the ZB is not commodore worthy.. just call it a VXR
@@RossReviewsau great car just wrong name. Should be Opel commodore.
@J S should call it Opel rekord or Opel commodore like the old German cars
@@RossReviewsau The VXR is just a trim level, they should have called it the insignia like Opel and then market it like it's a semi premium sedan, such as the Passat.
i work in the quiet area of my suburb and there was a maloo bloody sending it up the street and it was so loud and incredible lol
nothing better than a stupid loud Maloo love it haha
Love my S1 SS storm ute but wish I could have gotten a series 2. I'll never sell it...... Great review mate!
up the SS they are epic eh.. good old school feel still with the modern look :) rare vehicles in today's modern world
Once you cam a 6.0L it basically becomes an ls3 with 0.2L less capacity. There's about 5-10kw in it
One of the best upgrades for these is to dump the factory Continental tyres and fit Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres. Got them on my VF GTS and it transforms the car.
That’s a great upgrade for most eh👍
Love ya vids mate ! Hopefully one day get ya to do a trip down to Adelaide get ya to review 1100hp Vf Maloo 😉🔥
Oh mate once the boards are finally open for good 🤩 I’m there brother 🇦🇺🤘
@@RossReviewsau legend keep in touch I’ll sort ya a ticket 😉
👏👏👏
Sweet ride mate down low power machine the cam exhaust and inlet valves turbo 400 gearbox 9 inch diff sweet as
Right on that would really make em sweet eh!
My dad has got 2 HSVs (2010 Maloo and a gts used to have a coop)
Awesome cars
they really are!
Traded my VF GTS manual about a month before the whole pandemic s*it show started for 58k. One of my biggest life regret seeing how much they're going for now. Don't be me if you have one. Hold on to it.
That’s gotta hurt.. yeh man they are easy double that now for a low km one.. 🥲 they are cars that will likely only appreciate from here too
Ridiculously cool ...🤙🏽
Love these cars 😍🇦🇺
@@RossReviewsau
I love American iron but theres something special about Aussie mussel ...
You do great work man ...🤙🏽
Up the AUssie legends 💪🏼
2 Aussie Beasts thats for sure
Maybe Ross's review should have the VF SS out there which would have been nice to see
love the SSV redline ;)
great review ross, when is your mom going to do another review!!!!!!
Lol maybe soon
The extra work $$$$ turns good into booyah! Worth it. Would take either in a heartbeat.
It does mate
100% worth the walkinshaw upgrade
@@RossReviewsau no argument here. Perth is lucky to have some reputable tuners putting smiles on dials.
@@staxbarrett6638 we are lucky! and 100% is worth going to the good ones..
No way not one but two VF's
A R8 and a maloo .
You did mention to me there's more Holden's coming . True to your word well done Jon.
Clubsport and a Maloo
LOVE the HSV Content ;)
It would've been nice to See them do a One tonner on the last VF model as a tribute to the HQ but sadly they stopped them after VZ.
My dream would be a LS1 VY one tonner and a HSV/Clubsport R8 tourer VF Sports wagon. In the garage
that would be one bloody epic garage mate!
i have ls1 vu ss ute everyday driver and a thongslapper hq tonner and i have a smile like rosses everytime i fire them up both where working vehicles could not afford to buy them now
@@RossReviewsau it would be a dream.
@@Jo_Wardy one day mate
@@simonainscough619 thats awesome to here mate! gotta love them V8 smiles
I’d have a manual clubby wagon with the walkinshaw, because you can take your mates and dog with you and it still has the grunt to tow a big boat
love the wagons!
Yeah man
HSV "I just want one" 🤤
This didn't show up on my youtube subscription page for some reason. I found it in the Aussie car playlist. Just a heads up ross
You should only get this from patreon?
Ow ok not sure sorry. I am not a patreon member this month so not sure why I can see this vid haha@@RossReviewsau
Weird 🤷♂️😟
Man i wish i could crack into youtube like that
yep not muc h of the R8's out there so many GTS, Senators, but not much R8's sold as well, so they are asking a lot more even more than what they cost new, anything HSV pre walkingshaw ownerships is crazy numbers now? Even Stock Holden VY And VZ especially if ordered in various trim options etc. :)
VZ is very hard to find.. that's my personal favourite
IMO, the sedan has the best looking rims put on any HSV. I believe it was introduced by HSV around the 2009-10 Clubsport model.
they are great
What do you mean " When you decide to sell it" ?
Thought the vf clubsport is supercharged lsa.. maybe that was vf2 clubsport with the lsa, just like the bigger brother gts..🤔🤔
these were early model VFs i believe it was the VF series 2 that went LSA
Awesome. The auto in the VF one didnt have the paddle shifts, I use about 90% of the time, I couldnt have an auto without it. I see the auto was faster than manual. The old age argument Auto is faster but manual is more engaging. Nothing Beats a VF, Still blows my mind and hurts that this is the last Holden model. Great review.
Paddle shifters would be very helpful! But yes still gotta love that manual personally 😅 amazing cars seriously some of the best ever made here 👌🇦🇺 love em so much
Great review of a couple of great cars Jono, I definitely prefer a cog-swapper over an auto any day of the week!
100% brotha
Funny thing is I watched your vz video before this and it out down a quicker 0-100 time, was that because the roads were damp ?
Roads where damp and that VZ was highly modified and Auto..
Personally, I'm a Sennie man, but if I had to choose between the two I'd go with a stick Maloo
i want this maloo but in manual with and the walkinshaw tune
Needs a trans tune, paddles and 3.73s in the diff vs the factory 3.27s.
that would really kick it in the pants! HA
I like the grille and black cars are so neat when clean, the ute is the better looking of the two, manual is the way to go but auto is what it is, I have to say Holden's did the better job of the interiors compared to Fords.
Turbo Barra still the one for me, great review as usual Jono
Tony
your dead right tony.. interiors are far better than fords.. i wish ford had a EDI app page because using them is very fun and useful on track.. but cant go past that barra turbo feel! one of each is what i want :)
Why the R8 maloo has no paddle shifters? The its almost a manual car shifting its that simple, why he did not upgrade with paddle shifter i will never know in fact he still can and also get a tune, nothing crazy just to make the 6l90E come up a little in shifting etc. :)
Still the auto is doing 6 seconds something is wrong, it should be doing at least 5 seconds my redline does?
i wouldn't be surprised if the redline is faster.. these standard HSVs really come with a dull tune..
The reason why HSV leave the engine to a various stock tune, is for longevity, less power = more life, as soon as you open it up with a tune per say, you need to make sure the oil and filter is changed at around 5 to 7,000 km instead of the 15k mark IMHO the oil should be changed as soon as you see it go dark brown/black almost color, that way the engine always has the friction additives working at its best also using Mobil 5w/40 or 0w 40 if in winter or different good branded oil like Penrite :)
Well explained mate, I do mine every 5k
def do your oil every 5k thats the best way for a performance car
Hopefully you topped up the oil in the clubby Ahahahaha
HA! the owner is a sweet dude im sure hes taken care of it
What felt faster out of the automatic R8 or the manual R8
Manual felt faster n more connective
Ok thanks I just heard that the clubsport is the best option
@@andrewzuiderduyn3159 both are equally as good just depends on whos buying i guess
That's true mate
The autos drop off power when ya floor it ya gotta get the trans tuned in them had it done on my ve senator livens them up
that would really help! still i gotta always recommend a manual especially in a V8 (love a senny)
Ya do know you can manual shift it throw it in sports push the stick forward down shift backwards up shift
thats how I drrive mine
Yes I know that 😳
The automatic didn't have a chance from the get go now did it?
That VF interior lifts it's leg and let's out a steaming stream all over an FG's.
the manual was always going to be the winner of course lol.. V8 gotta be Manual
@@RossReviewsau So have half a V8.
6.2 0-100 "nailed it" 🤣😂
thats pretty decent for a manual.. on a wet road..
Just bought a VF sv6, Had a G8 SSV , both beautiful utes, could not justify forking out an extra 15 grand for 2 extra cylinders. Got enough speeding fines , didnt want to see my ute in a crusher. Remember the speed limit varies from 100 to 110 K's.
nothing wrong with a VF SV6 they are nice.. V8 is better but yeh its a big price jump
These cars look manly
Some of the best 🥵💯😎
The 0-100km time isn’t that quick on these for what they are, I would of expected early to mid 5 sec range
I know right
its a heavy car.. i think for a manual 6 is pretty respectable.. and the stock Maloo just did feel very restricted with 0 mods.. if you had the series 2 VFs with the LSA then it would be mid-low 5s i think
Dude he did one run on a damp road. Obviously they can go way quicker especially the w375
Need to turn traction control off to get the most out of them. I'm not sure it was with these two.
Clubsport 😈
up the CLUBBY!
Same price these days plus a 150000kms on it 😅😅😅.
Great review but I felt your usual enthusiasm wasn’t quite there? Lol to much bloody Ford in you!
that maloo has made about 30k lol but yeh its crazy eh... i think the auto made me a little emotion less.. had a lack of sound too.. so i apologize
@@RossReviewsau I was actually surprised by that, I’ve heard heaps of times that the Maloo’s are amazing but the sound just wasn’t there.
Every time it drove passed it just sounded like nothing. Sadly it’s the same with the stock clubby unless your putting your foot down.
I like to hear something on idle or driving from a v8
@@samthestoryman3757 yup its sad they made them so restricted from factory.. something i've always said about stock holdens they need a tune
Aussie Aussie Aussie
Oi oi oi
Ute
Love a tough Ute
Yep,if my pay grade would allow it, would be 4 door for family, and get stuffed any other day ..... that's if I could have both..
It’s sad they are out of reach now $ for a lot of people.. before they really where attainable a few years ago!
i can lend you my VFR8 2014 manual Harrop 2300 cammed and exhaust to show the next level
oh mate! thats what i like to hear! you in perth??
@@RossReviewsau sorry champion didn’t realize you are over in covid free country .. Newcastle here
Loved the review mate good job well done !!!
@@glennbratt6946 damn! another one that will have to wait for the rona..
@@glennbratt6946 glad to hear mate! :)
Seling a vf cluby for $80000
easy done i think.. might regret it tho just warning you lol
.
An fg xr6 na, gets almost the same 0-100 haha
Mine did 4.8 standard l would like to see your xr6 do that 😄
Not a fan of manual transmissions not a fan of GMH products not a fan of 3rd party HSV products.
That said for those of you who are then these are fine for you, to me these cars have no soul no character, which is typical of the crap that PREMOSO was producing back then.
The fact that it still needs more enhancing even after the official 3rd party enhancement pack clearly shows why these are not worth your time.
Haha! So why click on the video? Just to write that? Wow, truly a sad & uneducated fool, run along little fella.
@@craigdavid6668 - idiot. So people are not allowed to have their say? oh sorry Mr.GMH fan, lets not have a person be allowed to have the truth being spoken about HSV products.
@@351tgv It’s your OPINION, not the “truth” as you claim.
You’re not a “fan” of manual transmissions because you don’t know how to operate a car with more than two pedals.
HSV made a solid product, especially towards the end, I had one and enjoyed it.
Don’t be upset because you can’t afford one.
What do you drive Stig? I’m tipping a Gti Golf or similar, you wreak of inferiority, insecurity, ignorance and stupidity, I’m fortunate enough to drive a 991 GT-3 as a weekender now, awesome car, HSV was a genuinely enjoyable drivers car, you wouldn’t understand though😉
Idiot.
The autos are for old farts .
WALKINSHAW IS CHEAP GARBAGE / Harrop for the car enthusiast with a decent job.
It’s a fucking joke that hsv even made them autos. A standard hsv box can handle 800HP.
End of story and that’s STANDARD
I would only recommend a manual box for a muscle V8 in general..
@@RossReviewsau they handle 800hp in stock form. This is 20th century muscle.
Toranas and gt’s are for our grandparents with 350hp lol
Harrop and walkinshaw exhausts are exactly the same, both are really DPE by Manta under a different name
Unless it's a dct I would want the manual too. In fact I do in a vf gts
