    Default VS Statesman - My love affair begins

    Hey all, I'm new to the forum with my most recent addition to the family. This is my second holden purchase, my first being a VL commodore exec which I enjoyed thoroughly.




    [IMG]http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/members/skyemc-albums-love-affair-begins-picture90961-car-makes-street-look-small.jpg[/











    This is my 97 VS statesman series II international: Greg Norman Limited Edition number 281 out of 300
    She's stock as a rock and sitting on about 170,000.
    Drives like a dream - heres some of the specs.


    Power 165kW @ 5200rpm
    Torque 370Nm @ 3200-3200rpm
    Acceleration 0-100Km/h (secs) 8.6

    I'm enjoying the standard power sunroof for those long cruises. Looking for some ideas for some cruises!

    Thanks,
    SkyeMc

    Very nice! VS Statesmans will always have class when they are in good condition like this! A good place for a cruise if you are in Sydney is to head down the F6 to Wollongong then head towards Moss Vale up "Macquarie Pass". Great winding roads straight up the mountain! For my (South west Sydney) it is probably a 2 1/2 to 3 hr cruise!
    There are 2 types of pedestrians, the quick and the dead

    Check out my ride here....

    At this stage no. She's beautiful as she is, but if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears. Thanks for the cruise advice HW747 I shall take that opportunity soon. I'm very fortunate to have found this one. One week I'm driving my old hyundai, the next week I'm hankering for a statesman. The same week the seller puts her up for sale. It was definetely meant to be and it involved an awesome roadtrip.

    I'd like to give her a fresh paintjob, theres a few stone chips from living in the country. Apart from that her value lies in the fact that EVERYTHING is original.

    Thanks,
    Skye

    Nice find, I've had mine for 4 years now, and it's still all stock, and still very happy with it.
