Do the HSVs have T56s and the SSs have T5s? I would have thought that was a five speed
Gonna make any changes or is it good how it is?

Investment? How long you planning to own it for?
Looks like a nice car though, will be a good cruiser while the torana is being built.

the hydratrac centre isnt the best
would spin one wheel all day long outa corners
aparently if you keep them serviced they are better
best mod you can do is get a std lsd modified with 3.9 gears for it
the 3.45 is a tad long in 1st and 6th is useless
mine would do 200km at 3k in 6th if i remeber correctly
if you just want to cruise it around you will b stoked
i wish i had the cash to lower mine properly and instal 3.9 or 411 diff gears with a tight lsd when i had it
it spun 245 hp at the wheels with a tune, modified air intake and the rear resonator replaced with twin 2.25
