Oh i've just seen it has a sunroof. That means it might not even have the 185 extra's. Even just a sunroof will get you an 'enhanced' plate.


Check with HSV as to weather it got the 185 extra's.

Ive got all the badges (engine) so if it has 165 and im getting just under 200rwhp with just an exhaust it must be a decent 165. its about 144rwkw

even if the hsv stuff is faked, its still an SS that was all i was after when i went lookin for a car
I dunno the full options but it has: cruise control, sunroof, hsv cai and badges. the last owner was some 23 year old who only thrashed it on the weekends and was always garaged. I doubt someone would go to the trouble

[STEALTHY™]

My car with an exhaust and CAI had about that aswell. Up to 160 with the manual conversion.

I'm not saying its fake, only HSV will tell you what options it had fitted, if any. But to be HSV enhanced, they could just fit a sunroof, or a whole pack (the performance one)

Still 144rwk is good, rekon having the 3inch exhaust is letting it down..
my VS V8 is running CAI and a 2.5 extractors and 2.5 whole way through and puts out 147.2RWK and its non HSV..

3 inch exhaust is fine for a 5 litre. if anything, a 2.5 is pushing it as too small. ill never believe anything that comes from a SA dyno. they all seem to have much higher power figures than dynos in other states

just saying it coz my mates 185 SS put out 134RWK and thats running a 3inch exhaust.. at da same dyno..... ive always herd that a 3inch is pushing it, looks like theres stats to prove it to...

LOL, mine is a TWIN 2.5!

[stocky]

no there are no stats. 2.5 inch is a good size for a v6, and about the minimum size you would want to run on a 5 litre. i know another stock 5 litre that is lacking power due to it running a 2.5 inch exhaust

haha, maybe coz urs is from adelaide too, your dyno is wrong!!!
haha....
twins r good for a quick motor! smick car bro...

[STEALTHY™]

Like he said, 2.5 is the bare minimum, and i'd only run that if you have a bog stock car with no plans for mods.

My twin 2.5 is overkill for the mods i have, but i bought it for the sound, not the power.

Is that Mine?

[<RaBBiT>]

even if its not a 185i its still a nice car

Ive heard a 3" will only give you backpressure and not really any powerloss?
and yeah the 185 engine sounds mean but gives too much attention, i used to rev the crap out of my vn due to the fact I could and no one really cared, I rev this to 3000 sharp and people swing their head and look instantly.

no he is talking about mine, once mine hits 4100 RPM **** hits the fan, killing the top end power and im getting 18.7L/100km atm due to it.

yea the hsv headers make it sound better but put some pacemakers on it and listen to it then, ****s all over the hsv headers.
