Munro Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Good on you summoner, Nice to see someones sticking up for the Aussie battler ute. Try sticking a motorbike, or 4 wheels, or more than 1 bale of hay in the back of a skyline! How about towing a boat? I have a 2001 VU SS M6 235rwkw ute.Nothing like the sound of a nice V8 winding through the gears. 260km/hr!!! Mate you must have a hard top, 'cause anything over 220 & my tarp starts going crazy on the rear window shelf. Course Skylines are great (what else would I be doing on this forum) but remember what they were designed for.They are top level sports cars in Japan that only the very well off can afford. The Holden is attainable new to the masses, & serves a large variety of different uses & needs.With wide, comfortable seats, plenty of room, & good useable torque they are excellent cars. Ever notice how slow your Skyline is with 4 people in it? Barely phases a V8 Holden. With 4 passengers my R34 really feels it. BTW - just for fun I took my ute on a Skyline cruise a while back, & managed to dust quite a few of them. But, to be fair, I also took my R34 Vspec on a LS1 commodore cruise & dusted all of them. So what am I saying?? Hmm, not sure. I suppose have both of them if you can. :burnout: My mate Brenton lives in Perth now.If he pulled up next to you in his LC Torana, he'd dust all you all.( He pull 9.7!) :lol: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6838-doin-us-proud/page/3/#findComment-101782 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ix9 Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 u know from a distance, and the trevs being the ultra-bright "not think before I judge" might just see those "HSV - I Just ate one" stickers, and mistake it for the real thing..... "oi man, look a skyline driver that really wants a HSV!" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6838-doin-us-proud/page/3/#findComment-101919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
puckish Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Anyone who does not believe LS1 utes are fast should check out the latest issue of Perth Street car. The ute on the cover is running 10's at the 'Plex on the funny stuff. THATS IMPRESSIVE in anybodys books. I may not like the seadans and the rear end handling of the sedan and coupe but the ute is cool.

dojobi Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Yeah I've been caned by a couple of SS commies before. Also a 6cyl Falcon about 3 months ago, which I am still in shock over. It must have been turbo'd or something as it was an absolute thrashing. I was barely on boost by the time the Falcon was 3 or 4 lengths on me. That said, I've also beaten my fair share of V8s, mainly pre-VT2 commies, but a few LS1s. Now why the hell am I posting in the WA forum...:confused: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6838-doin-us-proud/page/3/#findComment-102232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
