The only VN HSV models with the 132kw V6 package are the SV3800 and SV6.

Basically an auto Group A without the twin throttles.

Wicked! So you could get a twin TB manifold and whack in on an SV5000, give it a big of a retune and you would have an auto group a? How many KW were the group a's getting stock?

Don't get too carried away, the Group A is massivly under tuned.
VN Group A - 215kw - Flat top pistons, D port heads with large valves, decent cam, etc
SV5000 - 200kw - Flat top pistons, O port heads with larger valves, small cam

Ahh i see. If i had the choice between the 2, i'd go the group a just for my love of big bodykits.

But for extra's i'd definantly go the SV5000, especially the SV racing green, very nice colour. I wonder why they would even bother making only ONE alpine white SV5000.

Was a pre-production model, was an exec base so no frills. Was the only manual one aswell:thumbsup:

I suppose it had the SV5000 kit and not the VN SS kit. I agree with you about white VN SS's. They make baby Jeebus ----> :cry:

Has the SV5000 kit, but no decals or badges bar the HSV boot badge. Has exec trim and all:p
Was built in 1989, even tho the SV5000 wasn't released till 1991. Car had 7 different engines in it during its test life.
I've uploaded some pics, as you can see its full pov pack:p Grey garnish and trims, no red throttle and fuel rail covers, etc.

It looks like a mock-up that someone put together AFTER the 91' release lol. Talk about "prodotypes" lol.
