Budget V8 street Commodore

In Drag, Video by fullboost

Al’s Holden VZ Commodore is a great example of a budget LS build. Not lavish in any one area it shows you can piece together a quick street V8 without a huge outlay.

One of only 28 VZ Executive models sold with a factory 6L, Al has performed much of the work on the car himself.
