    Check the compliance plate for the LSD, or most the time the diff will have 'high performance oil' tagged on the centre, OR jack the rear up so both wheels are off the ground, turn one wheel with your hands, and if the other follows, LSD

    It's sitting next to Dad's International right now so i'll check it tommorrow but it still could be an aftermarket. Most VP Calias' V8's came with LSD factory tho

    alternatively you could apply the brake and mash the accelerator to the floor (at a racetrack of course)

    Price is six thousand five hundred as I have already stated

    Interior photos are on my ride page if you click the link. (but i'll post them here to you you to view) Aslo it's the tan colour not common at all inthe VP range.
    yes it's got rego it's my daily driver (one and only car)
    rwc doesn't exsit in South Australia mate. It when over the Rengency park (police) pit at easter 2008
    think km's are at 270,000km.

    I dont care what a VY Berlina is worth most VP Calais 5.0L's are between 6 and 9 on the internet. Also in the history of the holden calais the VP had the least number made meaning while there's millions of VY berlina's there only around 10,000 VP Cal made.

    I also have spare seat's door trims and centre console n head unit surround not included unless asked for
