    To be honest with you Dave there was a Black Sandman ute i looked at and nearly bought
    it has been Harrop enhanced as well
    its still sitting on the showroom floor no body wants it
    another dealer had a white ute for 6 weeks they couldnt sell it they took the sticker kit off it it sold in 2 days
    im not really a fan of the stripes to be brutally honest

    Fair enough. Sounds just like the 70's. Lol

    I am pretty sure you are running the same auto gearbox that is in my 2010 GTS.

    I got a bit of a tune done along with a Walkinshaw air box and there were some kilowatts gained but that wasn't why I got it done.

    It was to get rid of that lag when the gears changed. Now, no lag and made a hell of a difference.

    Absolutely brilliant looking interior in the VF, makes mine look pretty ancient now.

    It's the GM 6L80 transmission.

    It was also in my 2006 (E1) GTS I had. Also in Chevs, Corvette and Cadilacs in America.

    I didn't think there was a lag either until I drove a car that had the tune-up for comparison.

    It'll make driving a little more 'lively'.
