just picked this up, got sick of the v6 commodores. this is my first v8, yes imn on my p plates and no i wont be driving it around untill im off them. Ruben Mica. cream leather interior. sunroof. 220 Kw. completely stock..... future mods will be: Ve gts wheels Air bag suspention engine rebuild full respray retrim drivers seat (leather has cracked) Stereo extractors and exhaust think thats pretty much it. heres a few pics, will get more when i can be bothered.
Great start! I'm after one of these myself, but in black. I think i've seen this one advertised. Does it have high kms on it?
Yeah it has 340 000 on it, hence the rebuild hahaha. dont know if it was advertised as it was my mates step dads he wasnt selling it until i asked for it haha. i was after something hsv numbered that wasnt mass produced and this popped up so i got it. so far so good.
Pretty sure they were 220 FWKW from new when specified as 5.7 litres. Other than your post I don't see any mention of 5L 220 RWKW. Reaper
Aren't all series 1 VT Senators 5L ? And I assumed by the multiple mentions of 220kw the OP was referring to ATW. Nobody relies on Flywheel power figures these days except manufacturers really
HSV had a 5 litre as base and a stroked 5.7 as option on Sen + GTS (amongst others) from VR - VT1. Reaper
Well there you go. So this beast is a 5.7L Stroker? Nice find!! Wish I had one of these on my P's...........

Well you should know by now that HSV put the engine kw power on the back of all their cars wich also depicts the model.. 185 is the first 5L, 215 is the first 5.7 stroker, 195 is the VT 5l, 220 is the VT 5.7 stroker and so forth through the rest of them.
