Don't need lead supplements in case the idiots didn't realise Holden made V8 engins which run on ULP.

The SS isn't rare the L34 SLR 5000 and A9X were the rare Toranas you would need over $300K for one of them despite the fact they were around $10K brand new.

The base model Toranas are raking it in even rusty old ones are getting good money from people who want to restore them.

Nobody will be restoring the Tesla shitboxes in 40 years from now.

When Holden brought out the fuel injected VN V8 it had 35% more power, 19% more torque and 17% better economy running on standard unleaded.

All the VN V8 onwards engine parts can be fitted to older red 253/308 V8 engines so you can keep matching numbers with engine block.

A great upgrade  using genuine holden parts.


The Toranas were proven on the racetrack here they won Bathurst many times without needing to change brake pads.

A German guy came here bought a Torana took it back to Germany to run it at the same track where a Mini flogged the Tesla.

all Torana's r rare they made a grand total of 136k of  LH and LX toranas over 4 years (Tesla has sold 160k of the Model 3 this year  and every one will take  4 seconds off the quarter mile to even the fastest Torana ) so less than 40k a year and that includes all the 4 and 6 cylinder ones as well. I didn't include the UC as they didn't come with a V8
so how many SS torana's where made .. maybe a 1000 or is that to high a number... what is considered rare ? (now we r getting into opinion )
so holden made v8 for torana's that could use unleaded or r u saying u can replace the engine from a later holden and make the car a unstock item ?

wow baron can see into the future..... so u think the original Tesla which was the very first well made electric car ever made and only 2400 where made will be worth nothing in 40 years...….ummmm u know its not just a river in Egypt

My Torana is over 1 second quicker than a Model 3 Tesla down the quarter mile.
Quote:



Many people use the later heads from VN onwards because they're more efficient with better flow which means more power for less fuel, the heads and fuel injection bolt straight on to older 253/308 just need to change camshaft and exhaust it can be done in an afternoon. The older heads can handle unleaded for a couple of hundred thousand KM then just put hardened valve seats in the old heads run the valves in the cast Iron.


The fastest production car down the quarter mile is a Dodge Challenger SRT Demon at 9.65 seconds the best Tesla is not in the top 10.

I could get my Torana into the 7 second bracket for quarter mile for a 1/10 of the cost of the quickest tesla.
