    Default VS Series 2 Calais HSV questions

    Hi all, got a couple of questions regarding the series 2 VS HSV enhanced V8 Calais, firstly what ratio was the standard factory diff and was it lsd? Secondly, would they be considered rare at all? And lastly, did they have the standard Calais factory rims or were they fitted with mags? Thanks in advance.

    Is it a HSV enhanced Calais from the FACTORY? Or was the tune just added later then flogged off as a real one? Have you run the VIN by HSV to see if it's genuine?

    I'd say the diff ratio is the same as the rest, which is 3:08:1 if i'm not mistaken.

    I personally wouldn't say it's all that rare.
