For those that read the other thread, I've given up on an XF burnout car and have narrowed it down to two. EA Falcon for $350 or a VN Calais for $500. Any ideas which would be best for skids? Obviously I'd prefer the EA but be honest. Thanks.

Seriously, the VN is wicked for skids. Weld the diff, 14 inch skinnies on the back, and 4.11's, and cut off the exhaust. They are sweet. And yes, Im being serious.

When I used to work for a certain insurance company in SA I got a brand new VN bright red V6 Commodore Executive. 1400KG 3.8 buick V6 meant that my young girl friend at the time used to fry the tyres crossing Unley road to Coles. that thing was born to fry tyres.

Get the VN. They are great at burnouts, just ask half the SA P plate population at midnight around town.
Cut the roof off, rip all the panels off, and strip the interior so you lose weight and can't tell it's Holden, and absolutely disrespect it haha!

Buy both, and rip the panels off the EA and put them on the VN. Come on, I can't be the only one who can see the design similarities in the two haha

VN. These things had to have restrictor plates fitted by dealers as customers were complaining about excess wheelspin.

60 year old Jack trades his VH Dunnydore in on a new VN in 1988. Jack is used to mashing his right foot into the firewall to get it's wheezy **** off the line at the lights. Jack leaves the Holden dealership happy as a pig in sh!!t. Up comes the first red light. Waiting, waiting, waiting, GREEN! MASH! Jack is now confused as he is now facing the opposite direction staring back into the cars behind him after the smoke drifts away. Was repeated often enough.

500 bucks for the vn is a start.. it won't last long as the motors suck crap..(my mate had one years ago and constant engine problems came with it..)
the ea is in my opinion cheaper to find and replace parts..and easier.. i also think it is better for drifting too..if you decide to go there.. |

If you get the EA, I'm pretty sure pintara diff centres fit in the EA housing, they have a 4.11 ratio, better than whatever "economy" ratio the EA would have. Weld up that sucker, take off the exhaust, fit a cheap thermo and external tranny cooler, gut the interior and fit a linelocker(vice clamp on the rear brake line) and skid car away!
