Howdy folks, I just bought a VS and on the dash above the glove box theres a badge that says 'HSV enchanced VS' and theres a sticker on the boot that says 'formula' which the guy I bought it off says is stock. Can anyone tell me what this means because I cant seem to find anything? Car was built in december 95.
It probably means the previous owner liked to stick badges and stickers everywhere.

could be a hsv enhanced vehicle, but it must have a tag on the firewall like the guy above said... if it doesnt have the tag its fake.
also there was a vr-vs formula model... only a ever seen 2 around. was some option
Formula is a dealer pack option. I've only ever seen VL and VNs (guess it went on to VR/S)
He probably thought it was a genuine HSV model because theres a genuine VP Formula, the only formula thats a proper HSV model.

And there mightve been a badge but previous owner has sprayed engine bay and engine light green so mightve been removed.. Will post pics in another thread another day.
VL and VN formula's (and i guess VR/S aswell) are just a dealer pack. That is, a standard model car (could be exec/berlina/calais in VN model) with a sticker kit, sometimes a different dash/trim inserts, and a bodykit (was an SS kit on VNs).
There nothing special.
On the flip side, the VP Formula is a proper HSV model, with build tags etc. Worth alot more money in my eyes.
