Great video bro keep it up, we are so lucky to have had aussie cars nothing better then playing some music going for a cruise and hearing that rumble, enjoy your aussie cars guys and keep em on the road
Awesome video mate, fast becoming my favourite Aussie car youtube channel. Owned all generations of Commodores and id have to say the 3rd gen was probably the most comfortable as a driver on long distances. Never owned a VX but would love a really clean VX executive or Acclaim (something about base model Commodores I've always found alluring hahaha) keep up the content mate, really appreciate it 💪
Unfortunately all Australian Police cars are all stock motors ….they should have reprogrammed them from 225 kw to 300 kw ..but they didn’t ….the Gen III LS1 is an awesome engine ..very reliable extremely powerful when programmed ( program edit) and well built …I had mine for 8 years never regretted it 👍
Every police car is flogged, They just have higher maintenance schedules speaking from experience whether it's a Hilux to a BMW. VT to VZ were very maintenance heavy Broken Seat backs, Transmission valving failures, Engine and Transmission mounts, Link Bushes and yes bolsters were replaced while in service as workshop was supplied with replacement kits as they tore open often oh and driver seatbelts and tensioners. And when retired seats are removed and steam cleaned as it's regulations to return them to market in good condition.
What you havent seen the vc or vh ss. The only real ss. These more modern ss commodores are as boring as the modern taxi fords. Bottom of the barrel cars

Love my wh LS1. Its like a boxer wearing a tuxedo.
Basically a 4 door GTO, Australia was very lucky to have these as every day rigs
the gto is based off the performance variant of this the monaro
not really the performance variant.
Same car with two less doors
Did GTOs have V6s?

I really appreciate the kind words mate thank you very much
This thing goes quick
Hey, guys. I’m not sure, but I’m starting to think that this Commodore (the VX/VX II) is his favourite 🤔
The word favourite was used 9 times 🤠

My BA mk11 XR6 turbo is exNSW Highway Patrol, has all the sales recipts to.
my pop has a ex south Australian police car too and its in white as well
I’d say any car that is a ex police car I swear there faster then the normal car
A black vx ss 6 speed would be my choice
Just picked up a silver 6 speed vx 😊
None of the Cop Holdens in NZ had V8s.

You are correct, but this being an AFP it has not been treated like the rest. It was never a pursuit vehicle or driven by uniformed police
Wait so do you love the car or not?
Probably an ex close protection car
Have you seen the ex hwp VT 5L in victoria for sale? its 6K but its superr rough.
