i dont believe there was...theres alot of 6's running round with HSV Badges..check his VIN plater under d hood
lol, reread your quote there, look at the first one listed "October 1988 VN SV 3800" that is a hsv and well, they didnt make a 3.8ltr v8
yeah it would be an sv3800
1995 Manual HSV Clubsport
Wade Cam :: 9.2:1 CR :: Pacemaker headers :: Twin 2.5" Exhaust :: VT Brakes
1991 Supercharged VN Berlina
9 PSI SC14 Intercooled :: Genie headers :: Twin cats :: HM Twin 2.25 exhaust :: 3.45:1 LSD
yes, but he has said its a 1991 Model and thats a 1989 so 3year's.. is a bit of a jump ay..
What should the VIN number say?
Yup they built quite a few HSV 3800's you'll see them getting around if you pay attention, little bit quicker than a stocker![]()
I got the SV 3800 motor in my car, Had it transplanted because I found it for a good price, Few minor differences, Nothing to really brag about, Yet I have no plates saying it's HSV though, but I do have a letter somewhere that I got mailed to me confirming engine number as a SV 3800 motor.
Cheers

P.S- Mines a S1 motor... An it's a SV 3800....... That's the strange part................ I dont fkn get it...... But then again, The heads an manifold were changed to S2 lol.........
EDIT:
Your friends looks like a HSV+ Berlina?!? Commodore......

It's HSV anyway, should be a sticker on the boot though I think, HSV bages,wheels,seats,build plates, close enough for me![]()
So there was a such thing as a VN HSV built in 1991 ?
Well it may be a rare machine and could be quite interesting to see what memcal it's running on the series 2 motor but it appears to be very real
doesn't it on special models have the badge on the dash sayin wat it is? like they say executive, berlina, calais? not sure

I never heard of a DMG90. Anyone got some pics?
Gravity is proof that nature keeps getting us down.
Ah i have heard of the DMG90 but no1 knows anything about it really... I wanted 1 cause its my initials...DMG
Where does that list come from Airstrike?
I was told the +6 did not come out until the VP, with a 92 and 93 range??
I have never heard of the SV6 or Challenger and i thought LE would simply by Limited Edition and LS Limited Series or something? Non-HSV
Do you have any more info or power statistics etc or a source?
All info is from the HSV 10th anniversery book.
All V6 power outputs are either stock of SV3800 spec.

shit thanks for link man. Cheers Airstrike
Hey people i just noticed in the pictures, the one of the interior pic, the Dash cluster more importantly the tachometers etc they look to be either police pack or stage two dash which was all the 4 indicators Revs, speedo, fuel , temp. Didn't HSV's all of them (Correct me if i am wrong) come with the level three dash tacho's which had the logo's actually on the dash next to speedo and revs ?
Looks like a mock up Wanna be HSV lol. just my two cents.
HSV Build plates over rule a level two dashI doubt the V6's were so fancy to get the posh dash
