VS II SLR 5000
I have one, and mine is build number 89,
With a lot of research, just like yourself, wanting to know, there were 91 made, of which 33 were auto and 58 were manual (source Redbook) I have not seen one with a build number greater than 91 and I do look!, they were a HBD (holden by design) pack and were released in Victoria only. Shipped mainly to country dealers as a cheaper version of an SS.

The material used on the seats is the same as VR Clubsport, i assume that they were using it up, and they did actually come from the HSV factory.... thats where the older HBD stuff was born. They did get a build tag, but not a HSV one because there were no engine modifications. They did get the CAI, (but for my money, it starves the airflow more than the value of the decreased temperature. I find better power through the mid range just by having the larger hole in the bottom of the Airbox.)

The standard extras were:
Panther Mica paint over silver lower.
Factory FE2 suspension.
Part Leather Interior
VL Walkie wheels (what were they thinking, i reckon they look crap on anything newer than VH!)
SS Rear Spoiler
HSV Cold Air Intake
... bout all i can think of at the moment....

If anyone has any better knowledge than this, let me know, not saying that i know everything, or everything that i say is correct... just what i have found.

.

they must had a different engine to the VN SV5000 (359 built).
because these had the red version of the black 304efi.

they were 200kw & 410nm.

knock sensor chip, CAI, larger air cleaner, tuned length extractors & free flow exhaust.
internal mods are

re-vised cam, new valve springs, revised exhausts valves and a higher compression ratio. 9.0:1

They got the same motor as the stock VS Exec. They didn't even get extractors...

it would be, if not slower, because it had no HSV internal upgrades :p Yeah based on the Exec, you can tell, not a bad ride, especially if its done up :D
