COMMODORE'S ARE NOT RACE CARS, NOR ARE THEY A PERFORMANCE CAR!!
honestly, people who think that commodore's "perform well" are misguided. THey have the chassis characteristics of a bus, the response of a retarded sloth, the cornering of a , the engineering of a 30yr old car and the overall deisgn of a turd.
I know im going to get some falred up responses here, but honestly, commodore's are a family car, you cannot even THINK they are a performance vehicle. Ok there are HSV's and whotnot, yes they have some good performance, but look at some proper performance vehicles like skylines, supras and even the cheap-as-a-base-model-commonwhore 200SX!!!! They eat them!
And sale's are nothing to go by. more than 50% of commodore and falcon sales are made up of company cars and taxi's. Now lets remove those and compare. Then most people by them becuase they are big, and cos its a an aussie icon. Really most people purchase them because they cannot look beyond the blinker that they are wearing, and see other cars at the same or cheaper price that are far superior vehicles.
take this example:
My dad owns a nice 2001 model Audi A4 Quattro, the last of the 130kW AWD 1.8L turbos. I was in the car riding with him a few months ago drving up the blue mountains, through all the twisty crap. Some wanker in his "performance" V8 slug HSV (not a clubsport) tries to do some retarded maneuvre around us and ends up cutting us off. This pisses off my dad and I tell him "man, you need to show that guy what a real car is dad!"
So my da drops back a few cogs and flattens that car around a corner. Now this guys was flying around each bend sqeeling most of the way around. Within two corners we caught up a 500m gap with ease... get up next to the guy mid corner, wave, and then put the foot down more and continue flying around the corner while he is struggling.
Needless to say we didnt see him until the straight section at the top of the hill when he goes past at 140 or so.
Price conparison:
HSV Senator $77k
HSV Clubsport (which this was NOT) $55k
Audi A4 quattro 1.8T $68k
i know where my money would go.
