High Performance, best reliability!
Hose to radiator cracked
Replaced battery recently (original)
Very Fast Car that will spin all the way up a street and even through second gear.
I am extremely happy with the reliability of this car and have had no problems with it whatsoever.
If you want a reliable and fast family car I would recommend a VP commodore V6.

The best car I've ever owned and driven!
Drivers side door deadlock stopped working, could not deadlock at all.
Water leaked into the boot, had to reseal both taillight lenses to fix it.
Original exhaust system broke after 10 years, replaced with a sports exhaust.
Radiator recored as it was 50% blocked, and car would overheat.
The comfort and power from the v8 is really nice!
It tows our caravan and boat quite easily, but does like to drink a fair bit of fuel when towing.
Will keep this car until it falls apart, but at the moment it's in excellent condition and should last a few more years!

Bang for your bucks
Air Conditioner had to be replaced, faulty switch for A/C.
Front shock absorber's were pretty standard when new, so were replaced with tightened springs and stiffer shocks.
A quick machine, plenty of torque and grunt.
Smooth ride.
Highway driving is a breeze, with swift kickback when overtaking.
Seriously this car has acceleration to rival some sports cars and blows most standard 6 cylinders away.
Recommended buy.

Power to burn, shame about the parts
Replaced steering rack three times.
Coolant leak into cabin.
Rear door rubber collapsed, making the window inoperable.
Water pump failed.
Tachometer failed.
Temperature gauge intermittently inaccurate.
Brilliant performance in a straight line. Excellent handling apart from camber changes in the rear suspension.
Fantastic Aussie V8 sound.
Comfortable interior.
Disappointing that accessories are occasionally unreliable, but the core product is solid.

Not so much a comment but a question, if any one can help. I own a '93 VP SS, travelled 88000klm and my odometer is running over twice the speed. How do I rectify this?
The speedo drive is an electronic pulse from the gearbox, rather than a mechanical cable. If you go to a transmission workshop, or a speedo/instrument shop, they should be able to diagnose this.

I own two VP SS Commodores, and I agree they are a fantastic motor vehicle.
