That's the problem with the later badges no matter how carefully you do it, after you remove them they always end up with a heap of crap on the back!!! :

I wonder what hybrid car would look like if you amalgamate the two....the holden falcon....a pushrod ls1 with better suspension and handling perhaps...but i wont open that can of worms ;)
Just as a side note, sorry to hijack the thread a little, one of our work cars is a vy the other a ba....the vy has over 60 thou kms and goes ok...the ba has done 1500 and is as slow as a tortoise...like some engines, i presume the I6 gets better after a few kays?

I actually though about putting an LS1 in an EA GL, some head/cam work and it would be a mega sleeper

at our work we have a VZ and a early BA both sixes and the VZ will beat it off the mark but once it gets to about sixty the BA will shoot past no worrys and how about a holden falcon with the better boss motor and the better falcon suspension and haldling and just calling it a ford falcon oh wait they already make that car hahahahaha.
