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 :)

there was option with it to get a blueprinted engine and that added a extra 10-15kw on top of the 215kw.
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:

    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
