- 03 VY Supercharged 3.8L
From memory [dont have the Holden manuals in front of me]. There was upgraded exhaust to get the extra 10kW out of series 2. You have the interior changed, and the cluster has a better look. But i love my series 1. Things like interior i dont care for, series 1 will probably be easier to change things too. But depends on what you like. Wheels also changed in the Series 2. But other than that they are roughly the same. They did change the electric aerial over in the series 2. In series 1 there was a changeover period at the end where both types were used.
As for power to weight ratio:
Series 2: 147.76kW per tonne
Series 1: 146.69kW per tonne
So the Series 2 has about 1kW more power in power to weight ratios. Either way you'll enjoy it. I found i can beat the fuel rating in highway runs (just made it into the 6L/100km range on the way from Sydney to Melbourne with a fair chunk of that accelerating and de-accelerating during roadworks). So if your doing highway km's then you should be fine anyways. But i'm working on a particular mod that should lower fuel usage for V8's and supercharged 6's better than what they have now.
