Re: scorpion v6
The car they are bolted to......3.8L 'Commodore' engines are in fact Buick powerplants
Our "Aussie" brand Holden haven't run an Aussie 6cylinder since the VL (1986) and a V8 since 2000 (VT)
So with their slogan "Let's go there", is actually the direct quote from Holden's management team pointing to another country to outsource their work, so they can produce " another Aussie product"........and people cracked the shits that they are not manufacturing anymore..., I say they haven't manufactured for years

Re: scorpion v6
The VK was the last Aussie engine, not the VL.
VL engine was an imported 3.0 litre RB30E straight-six unit designed and manufactured by Nissan in Japan.
Back at the time we stated it was the best Commodore Nissan ever built!!
