Commodore Picture Archives

Who: Steve Stano

What: VL Calais

Where: Street Commodores Yearbook

Why: By far the most popular trend of the past couple of years has been the 'injected VL Aero' movement, and Steve's twin throttle-bodied five-litre is exceptional. In the end, Stove's ride won out over the dozen or Aero-style turbos and eights we've featured due its completeness and attention to every department. Resplendent in black with silver/grey detailing, the VL possesses all the power and performance, but not at the sacrifice of a show-quality finish which is evident in the interior, exterior and engine-bay areas. Definitely the pick of a large and popular bunch.

Notable features:

• Possibly the most typical example of current early-modle Commodore trends
• The best part of 300kW via a trick Group A injected 304
• Tasteful aesthetics
• Spotless presentation to a level above most of its VL contemporaries
