Well since I own a imac VL myself I cant really say.
For the record not ALL VLs are pieces of shit and not all of the drivers are wankers.
VLs can be a great car if in kept in great condition, just look at mine for a good example, Racsov500 knows what im talking about.
IMO VLs have so much more style then R31s.
Also if you buy a VL make sure its a 5 speed, Autos are slow and have no balls (Unless its Turbo).
