It's so smooth that the front wheels only launch off the ground every time you let the clutch out quest, unfortunately I'm about to shoot you down In Australia, the Commodore V6's all have the balance shaft, and what a jolly good job it doesn't do. As an interesting comparison: My mother's car, a 1994 VR Commodore sedan, 5 speed manual. Was bought new, and hasn't changed much in behaviour in the intervening years. This thing is positively gutless, wheezes and farts, but this 'amazing bottom end torque' that people seem to go on about is well and truly not there - and I've driven enough Aussie cars to know they're all about the same really. It won't rev past 4000rpm without being forced, and it lets the entire neighbourhood know that it's not happy if you dare to try. I've replaced the timing chain (it had the usual problem and streched the crap out of the original one, becoming even more gutless), it's got a 2.5" exhaust with Pacemaker headers, but where's the bloody grunt? And it sounds positively rotten, all the rattles etc. Another mate of mine drives an MX73 Cressida, which a couple of months ago we put a JZA80 2JZGE into (a whole $800 with ECU and loom), along with an R154 5 speed. This car weighs a bit more than the Commodore, is powered by a 'jap crap twin cam 3 litre' engine - so how the hell can it compete with the 3.8 litre Buick V6? Well, guess which one is quicker - and not just by a little bit either. Guess which one will rev towards 7000rpm. Guess which one uses less fuel. Guess which one idles without shaking the whole car. quest, I sure hope you're a gambling man [Report message to a moderator]
