New Motor Mag. 422kw Maloo. Wtf

[FATAZZ]

umm to me the most important part of the car is its engine,especially when talking power

which is really all the HOLDEN boys have over our OLD(stock form) skylines. So if they didn't

use a CHEV Engine would you still be bragging about your holden VE SS commodores?

I dont understand the point of your argument though. The argument isn't what parts are made from who? People are arguing about the cars as a whole. There isn't any way of knowing what the commodore would be like without the 'CHEV' engine. Its like saying the GTR probably wouldn't be as good without the RB26. No Fcuking crap? But the fact is the VE SS does have a Chev engine (who cares who makes it?)and thats how its been made.

Anyway, no one is bragging, they are simply trying to stand up for a car that isn't half bad & that most people dont give any time on here because of a badge. Now its the fact that Chev makes then engine. I thought this kind of argument stopped when they stopped putting the 30 in VL's.

wouldn't have anywhere near the amount of power.

LoL Nissan Car, Nissan Engine. not rocket science.

It started right back up by them now HAVING(i like that word) to use a CHEV engine.

How else would they get those kw's?

To simply sum it up for yourself......

The best Holdens have either Nissan or Chev engines.

[Yidz]

But who gives a Fcuk if they use a Chev engine? Obviously you do?

Wow Nissan use a Nissan engine. That must make them automatically a better car?

Obviously Holden have done their research and decided that the more feasible option is to use a Chev motor and it is churning out the numbers so whats the problem? Why build something yourself when you have something thats proven?

[2rismo]

what IM saying is if your a holden fan, Brag on about HOLDEN ENGINES

Dont sit there telling me how your HOLDEN is so F'ing awesome with its CHEV ENGINE.

Seriously,,,it aint rocket science.

I suggest you go and find out how many parts in your Nissan engine are made by Mitsubishi then...

[FATAZZ]

But its a Nissan designed/built engine right?

[[200]]

Yep.

Which is why the 2JZ-GTE is a better engine.

[FATAZZ]

Yep.

kthx

[eMsta]

dayum......turned out into an all out war

but one post caught my attention.....

r34gtt compared to the cv6 monaro and r34gtr compared to the cv8 monaro - there is no way you can compare it like that. Perhaps the cv8 compared with the gtt?

The only cars that can be compared would be something like Aussie built cars Vs American built cars OR if its nissan, then nissan v mazda or nissan v toyota

Too many factors i, in my humble opinion, reckon that will hinder the comparision between the japanese cars and aussie built cars (i.e engine for one)

[rev210]

What a stupid VS thread this turned out to be.

A 422kw ute is a good thing regardless of the badge.

IT'S A 422KW UTE!

You can carry a cement mixer and still do great donuts!

You do realise that chev is owned by General Motors? Which also owns Holden?

Also did you know that a lot of the new Nissans run on the same platforms as the new renaults?

[kralster]

Ohh also the alloytech V6 in commodores is also used by alfa romeo

[rev210]

What about a thread lock?

[kralster]

In before lock!!!!

ohh wait...

[R33GOD]

it got a little out of hand yes. was just stating the legalaties of cars with that much power on the road. if they were ever to be on the road we should be able to have modded skylines and other imports and not be harrassed for it.

sure we all love fast cars but asking for that much power from a v8 with a blower is only going to result in people killing themselves.

[kralster]

Why would they kill themselves? the car only goes as fast as your right foot

And if this car is modded legally there is nothing wrong with it.

If your car doesn't meet ADR's don't go complaining when you get defected.

Can anyone look on the positives on anything to do with this car?

I didnt wanna start a VS thread but I've never actually been able to voice my opinion in one before it was locked! I just seem to find that people nit pick on such irrelevant little things due to the fact that they just dont like them. Like the fact that GM owns Holden & Chev & now someone is picking on Holden for putting a Chev motor in is just ridiculous

Side Note: You ARE allowed to have modded Skylines & other imports on the road and not be harassed for it. Engineers certificate is a good start....

Which also means cars like the SL55 & XKR shouldn't be produced? They are perfectly legal, V8, Supercharged, and wouldnt be any slower than this ute...

yes you may be right but... top end cars that you stated handle superb have a price tag of over 150k. a holden or ford with that much power at a lower price tag for the average joe.... your asking for trouble.

enough said.
