Whilst I’ve never been particularly drawn to the Holden VT Commodore, I decided to take the plunge and pick up this well-maintained 2000 model Holden VT Calais to compare it to my 2001 Ford AU Falcon.
Initially, I was after one with a supercharged 6-cylinder engine as that was the closest match to the Ford’s Intech VCT, however I wasn’t able to find one quickly enough and at a fair price, and opted instead for this clean example with the 5.7L Gen III LS1 V8.
