Vs Hsv

[zymotic]

Just wondering what the top of the line VS HSV would have at the flywheel. I've found em with 215kw???

Thats about it as far as I know the only other one would be the GTS-R, the yellow one with the GT wing there was option with it to get a blueprinted engine and that added a extra 10-15kw on top of the 215kw.

Download this PDF http://www.hsv.com.au/cars/classics/hsv12pp.pdf it covers from the Walkinshaw to the VT-GTS hope it helps.

215kw sounds about right

with a 1900kg body

[JezR31]

why are they so heavy?

[Elithrar]

He's just exaggerating. They're about 1650kg.

[Morgs]

They're actually lighter than that, too

15xxkg would be about right

My VS V6 daily driver is only 1420kg with fuel

The HSV versions fair bit heavier due to the V8 engine.. and each new version gets heavier. I think the latest VY, etc are around 1700kg for the 300kw HSV GTS.

reading through this document about what defines a "classic HSV" .. bit of a laugh:

THIS IS WHAT IS NOT OK.

The following modifications have been deemed as unacceptable by HSV. This

protects your investment in an HSV Classic.

* A different size of tyre than original.

* Non-original wheels, including the ÒspareÓ.

* Engine modifications - including a wide variety of peculiar enhancement "chips ", throttle bodies, camshafts, extractors and the like.

e.g. anything that makes it perform better than the often rather toned down factory tune

LOL I wonder how many extra thousand it cost to get that 10-15kw when all you gotta do is put in a $100 air filter :wavey:

most VS v8's were 179kw, the hsv's were 185kw or a 5.7l 215kw stroker (standard on the GTS and GTS-R and a option on the senator) with 4 speed auto's or 6 speed manuals.

the VS GTS was a pretty nice thing and still demand good money for a 8 y.o car.
