unv412 As far as the [VC
nd 4 holden spd-> All your Holden's are on my log with links to pics ready to be posted in. Once I posted these cars, could you please double-check if these cars are correct according to those pics, thanks!
Also I beleive that The Holden Dealer Team manufacturer designation doesnt apply to
Commodore [VC] Sedan '80
Commodore [VK] SS Group A Sedan '84
Commodore [VL] Calais LE 3.0L Turbo Sedan '86
as they should be under Holden. They were never called HDT.
Also Commodore [VC] Sedan '80 should read Commodore [VC] HDT Sedan '80.
Pfew, now I know what TVB must feel like
HSV is, you'll find classed as separate manufacturer (I think even on the build plate of the vehicle)...so no I wouldnt file HSV under Holden (my cousins get very pissed off when you call their car a holden). As for the whole history of why HDT split up and who owns it now, it doesnt change the fact that the cars where always sold as a Holden.
QUOTE=The Vanishing Boy;3219463]-> ^ Why? I know it might not be relevant to you at first, but what about the others who does not have as much as automotive knowledge as we are. Take note on my 1st post:
then please change every 4 door sedan that wheres a "M" or "AMG" badge to sports sedan and you should also point out sport coupes and sports cars and...and....and....you see what I mean? The designation for concept IMO is the only one needed!
^ I'm doing this to educate people, sharing the love or somthing like that.
Isn't that what the links are for????[/I]
^ I revised 'Kingswood' as a sub-model just like the 1st SRT-4 which is basically a Neon. I also edited the engine size to 4.2 too.
[I]Again, this car is listed by Holden as a "SS" not a "kingswood" therefore no need for sub models as this just complicates things for no reason. For example a Holden Commodore [VK] HDT SS Group A '84 is based of an "SL" or poverty pack Commodore, does this mean we should list it as a sub model??? It would look stupid as Holden Commodore (SL) [VK] HDT SS Group A '84 !!!!
Ok, now I'm confused...these HDT's are also called Brock. Are these like Shelby's is to Ford USA's? But on my opinion they may be a slim chance that they can be a straight Holden. But so far, I'm sticking -HDT- unless if there is sufficient proof.
Its like a pet name for the cars, like a HSV Commodore [VL] SS Grp. A '87 is called a "Walkinshaw" named after the guy who ran the HSV operation. Either way take it from me, my cousin owns a "brocky" and registration papers say its a Holden first and foremost.....and if you dont beleive me, lets leave it open to other forum members to discuss it.👍
^ The second link looks pretty useful, and I'll dig onto that later. I was pretty much busy on compiling Ford Mustangs from US and Austrailia.
-> Now the issue is, are these cars under HDT, Holden, or Brock? The link you gave says 'Brock'.
^ As you blab away, I added couple of cars that you stated and provided with links.
-> Why so angsty?
^ It did! Although it was a long essay, I see clearly now:
Before '90s
HDT (under Holden) vs. Tickford (under Ford AU)
'90s and up
HSV vs. FPV
Separate entities after '90s
HDT & Tickford
Why so angsty? You kiddin me, right??????????
The angry tone of my last post comes from more than 3 months worth of lobbying (usually done late at night @ 12-1 am at the expense of sleep) dateing back to October regarding this matter........was I wrong in the end????? No. If you look at the second quote made by you to the "holden nd 4 spd", you basiclly put his incorrect wishes on the log ASAP, no questions asked and within a day!
Now put yourself in my shoes....35 year old car nut that has more than 10gig (31000 photos) of car pictures and brochers gleaned from various sites over the years,plus currently owns and has a circle of friends and family that own aussie muscle and other cars.....and tell me you wouldnt be a little bit irrate that your expertese is being ignored.
I mean, I really should'nt give a toss about this list when people make mistakes about requests, but I enjoy learning about cars and hope that other cars I'm seeing on the list are correct too.
Sometimes I feel my input is just a waste of breath.........so just believe me when it comes to aussie stuff......after all I do know my **** gentleman

I thought I'd hit reply when I first typed it up, whoops. 
Here's what I think to this whole scenario. 
Close. Pretty close TVB. 👍 This is how it goes:
Before 1987
HDT vs Ford - There was no FPV or Tickford, some aftermarket places did specials but no factory performance effort since the Cobra's of the 1970's.
1987-1991
HSV vs HDT vs Ford - HDT split from Holden, HSV was born. Ford was concentrating on family runabouts.
1992-2002
HSV vs Tickford - HSV was now nearing the end of the VP series and Ford had Tickford develop the XR8 for the EB. This re-ignited the Ford v Holden performance fight. During this period, some anniversary Ford GT's were released but were pretty tame.
2003-Present
HSV vs FPV - Tickford developed into FPV and the first cars released were the FPV GT and the F6 Typhoon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
unv412. I didn't say I liked Yellow cars, not me. Plus in your list I saw one outstanding glitch. While I agree with what you said about the Kingswood with the SS being different to an SL, etc., the main thing is that the SS DID come out as not only the 253ci (4.2L), but the 308ci (5.0L) motor aswell in the HQ, they were both options, you took your pick of SS motor. Later on, the 308 was the standard motor in what became the HZ GTS.
TVB, don't get the wrong impression of Aussie cars. They're like us, brutish, sometimes unrefined and very very loud.

apology accepted
As far as the whole "If you want to do it your way, please repost your list on how you want it done here in your own terms so me and the others can judge it Aussie car by Aussie car" thing .....Im just here to help out with research and corrections, otherwise if i submit all the ausie stuff it would be all over in a couple of posts, and thats not the point is it?
Mafia boy has the whole HDT/Holden stuff summarized pretty well (again) and his take on the persona of Aussie cars is pretty spot on.....if not a little bit patronising to myself (
) 👍 Mafia boy,
I must have mis interpreted the whole yellow VL thing
On the HQ SS bit, options are a funny game when it comes to cars as most can be optioned to become something that they were not known as. With the SS (only 2800 biult) there is no listing in the brochure for an optional 308. Also please referance this site
http://s300.photobucket.com/albums/nn14/HQSS1972/
for everything HQ SS, or post #10 by the moderator of above site-
http://www.fastlane.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19083&whichpage=1
explaining it all.
BTW, what magazine did you write for??

I'll PM you re:magazine stuff unv412, it's stuff I keep on the down low.
I always think of Hubble's SS whenever I think HQ's, hence the 308 sticks in my head, and then confuse them with the 350ci GTS (which became a 308ci in the HZ GTS, I know this for sure, I think possibly the HJ too??).
But yeah, carry on everyone, I think we've all sorted out the GMH conumdrums now.

Mafia boy,
easy mistake if you remembered a mates (Hubble????) car (SS) having a particular engine from a while back. So yeah, all should be straight with the GMH stuff now.
TVB,
lol.....rest easy now brother, as mafia boy has said his last post on the whole HDT/Holden/HSV (and one of my original posts sometime back) should put you in great stead on all things Brock or Walkinshaw (or walky or walking stick or plastic pig or.....).
Still think its easy to decifer aussie cars rather than US cars - What the hell is a 1975 Cheverolet Malibu Classic Colonade Hardtop Coupe....and how is it different to the 1974 or 1976 model?????????

I'm not forgetting them Paulie, but the thing is that HDT has become like Phase Auto's was in the '80's, an aftermarket company in no way associated with the factory product, they are just lucky they own the trademarks to the HDT name. It's just like CSV. CSV have had the fastest Commodore's in Australia by far, but they aren't recognised because they are aftermarket.

I think WP is eating CSV at the moment with their 460kw E-Series.
But I see what you were doing now, just covering what was considered factory product.

-> Hello again, sorry again for the delay! Heres what I did this time:
👍
-> I added mostly headliners tonight, namely; a teardrop-shape 100mpg coupe; some Bimmer roadsters; a small Chevy truck with a V8; a transferred DiMora from V5.0; a new Vulca S; the newest Ginetta's; a JDM-spec Insight; some Innotechs; a street-legal Gallardo Strada; a power Rover coupe; a cool name for a micro sedan; a Toyota that inspired the Aztek; and a Veedub powered by a V8.
^ Sorry but both of these cars are already on the list. GT Ace did his part on the Zenvo two pages ago. While I did the Heffner GT five pages ago.- MANUFACTURER: Heffner Performance
- Make: Ford GT
- Model: 2008 Heffner Performance GT Camilo Pardo Edition
- Trim: none
- Type: Concept
- Body style: none
MANUFACTURER: Zenvo
- Make: Zenvo
- Model: 2009 Zenvo ST1
- Trim: none
- Type: Priduction (only 15 being made and sold)
- Body style: none
More info on the cars in the car model link.
^ There were actually two Pobeda concept cars. One was the concept show car that you provided, while I dug up for the sleeker design study version. These two cars are on the list.
^ This unique Volga is already old news, they also came out a Volga V8. Take note that these Volga's is actually built by a Russian company named A:Level. A:Level also came out with two prototypes the Impression and The BIG. I've transferred the whole A:Level lineup from V5.0 with their links here.
^ Added yours, but I edit it a bit.
^ Fixed.there are no such things as:
FPV Falcon [FG] Pursuit sedan '09
FPV Falcon [FG] Super Persuit sedan '09
there are only Pursuit Utes.......... not sedans......
^ Man those are tasty pics of those Calais/Commy. But unfortunately, I need bone stock pics of these cars. Luckily I did some searching on my own.
^ Is there a difference between your car and my SS that I added few posts ago?
^ These lists really ate me up totally, it took my three two hours of ridiculous editing and formating and comparing pics between us three. I replaced some with either better pics or more concisive info on each of these much missed Oldsmobiles.
^ I dug up each of these Fords but missed one. Is the Falcon Interceptor an XB or an XD? My google got confused.
^ I added the Phase IV as a prototype, not a production car. While the so called 'Phase V' I designated it under -PHASE AUTO- not Ford.
^ Added, I also didn't know that the '77 V8 Vantage was the first of the three V8 Vantage in Aston's history.
^ I will take note on that thanks!Before 1987

👍^ Either Midgets (the original and the II) would be too fast for the P50, maybe the Chrysler GEM would be a better bet.
^ The Biante was already added few posts ago, oh well I added a link along with it.
^ Interesting little speedsters, I would mistake them as a race-modified (aka. [R]) BMW Insetta.
^ Along with these two microbes, I carried over other notable Peels from V.5.0 with links on them.
^ I will look onto that after I replied here.
-> I added mostly headliners tonight, namely; a teardrop-shape 100mpg coupe; some Bimmer roadsters; a small Chevy truck with a V8; a transferred DiMora from V5.0; a new Vulca S; the newest Ginetta's; a JDM-spec Insight; some Innotechs; a street-legal Gallardo Strada; a power Rover coupe; a cool name for a micro sedan; a Toyota that inspired the Aztek; and a Veedub powered by a V8.

Huge difference TVB. The SS Group A was the HDT edition, the Walkinshaw is the HSV edition, as I said previously it was affecionately known as the "plastic pig" due to the enormous aero package fitted to the Commodore.
Here's a pic of the VL Walkinshaw.
Then compare it to the Brock SS Group A. Here they are side by side.
Big, BIG difference.
It's like an SS Group A on steroids if you catch my drift. TVB^ I dug up each of these Fords but missed one. Is the Falcon Interceptor an XB or an XD? My google got confused.
The Interceptor is actually an XB. It's the Mad Max car, a 1 off special. Also attached in this link is info on the MFP Falcons that chased the interceptor in Mad Max.
Link to Interceptor Falcon.
I'd recommend a different car to go in it's place as it's a proper factory effort my friend.TVB^ I added the Phase IV as a prototype, not a production car. While the so called 'Phase V' I designated it under -PHASE AUTO- not Ford.
Go for the Ford Falcon [XE] ESP '82 {351ci}. Here's a pic of it. 
Anything else, don't hesitate to ask. I've always got unv and Paulie watching for any mistakes I may make on Aussie motoring history.

TVB, are we doing cop cars for this list???
Also , I think Woggster means the red SS Group A (HDT) belongs under Holden.....where as the silver SS Group A belongs under HSV. Hense the whole discusion about the Holden/HDT/HSV differances finally get put to great effect ! lol
PS. My head hurts!

^ What do you mean? Your pics are a big help for my research, it is just that some of them (I mean very few) are not up to standards if you know what I mean. Don't get so down buddy. Lets help each other instead.
^ In some ways, yes. But it has to fit certain criteria, like it has to be unmarked, but unique in a way compared to a stock production versions.
^ No problem, I'll just dig them for you.

Yes, a twin turbo Alloytec would outgun the V8s probably, but WP shouldn't care about that stuff....... As you said it's an untapped market, they could be the only ones that'd be doing such a package.

Big, BIG difference.
Walkinshaw VL is a love or hate car. It performed really well though. In fact, they were saying in a magzine article not long ago that if you gave it some modernised wider tyres, bigger brakes and a bit more powerful it'd still be right there with some of the best sedans around. That's what they said anyway.

Hehe sorry about the outburst, I was a bit grumpy because I got a bad grade in school!
I know what you mean by not up to standards, a few are pretty bad from time to time. It's just some of the ones I posted seemed fine and I didn't see a reason for a different picture.But anyways, I guess I could go back and add pictures!

I didn't know BRM's were a red X??
Here's a better image link.
As to the cop car scenario, the VL BT1 is a unique designation T.V.B., but the problem is that it looks like every other VL turbo on the road, the only distinctive difference is the BT1 model code put onto the body & options section.
They still packed the 150Kw RB30ET, but rumours surfaced that they were closer to the 170-180Kw mark to make sure Walkinshaw's didn't get away.

-> Hello everyone, sorry for the agonizing delay. There are so many news that came out since my last post. Here I go:
-> Unfortunately, as what I said earlier. There were too much for me to tell on what I had done. Everthing are explicitly explained on my log.
^ Unfortunately, you are too late my buddy! I already had implemented my links before you apologize, sorry dude.Hehe sorry about the outburst, I was a bit grumpy because I got a bad grade in school!
But anyways, I guess I could go back and add pictures!
^ I transfered most of the Caparo's from version 5.0 (which consists a total of 6 models). But yours is covered
^ I take note all of the cars that you mentioned. And all are very helpful, thanks!Huge difference TVB.

^ I added links on some, edited some, and included all your cars on list.
^ You requested this earlier here. Have you ever read my reply to you? I guess not, here it is:BRM v16
Sorry i dont know much of anything about this car other that it was a f1 race car. Let me know if you find out the make manufacture/other info. Thanks!
^ Please help me out dude!VB @ page 12^ Ok, first of all; this is a general type of car with no specific engine output and/or the year of this vehicle. As my curious monkey knocks on my dead spot known as the brain; there are so many variations of this vehicle that will make the C6 Corvette look like peanuts!
