Look at it like this
The VXR8 is not a HSV car BUT... in aus they put the LS2 in the basic cars and the LS3 in the HSV's
Take from that what you will, the LS3 is just the much better option
Errr no............ LS2 and LS3 R8s are both HSVs or rebadged Vauxhalls which ever way you look at it. The design, suspension, brakes, clutch, wheels, steering are identical in both. Its only engine displacement and internals that are differentThe VXR8 is not a HSV car BUT... in aus they put the LS2 in the basic cars and the LS3 in the HSV's
Take from that what you will, the LS3 is just the much better option
stick to the M5 forum
According to the other site red is your choice!! It wasn't me you spoke to but I am willing...;) and there is always movement in price and as had been said before its far cheaper to buy the mods already done than start from scratch.................
Sorry if I have broken any rules here..

The VXR8 IS an HSV car. It was always built by HSV rather than Holden. The LS2 and LS3 have always been HSV (and VXR) engines.
Holden used the LS1 right up until 2005, then swapped to the L76 and L98 in Feb 2006.

Either way the heads alone are worth the small premium but the LS2 is a great engine, the LS3 capitalised on it, look at the heads and intake alone!
And my mistake but I am sure I read somewhere that Holden still use the ls2 whereas HSV use the LS3
Anyway back to the M5 forum to watch them chat about which options they picked and which finance deal worked best! If the flat sells and donks aint gone I might consider flogging the car to get his but I really liked the look of the GTS Ian just bought

I believe ARAF has an L76 with AFM.
The L98 did not have AFM. Its basically an LS2 with L92 heads (aka LS3 with s
t valves)
.. As is the L76, though the L76 in the US is a truck engine. Probably same spec.
Either way L98 and L76 pretty similar except for AFM/DoD
And indeed Stig's brain has atrophied from lack of exposure to the one true vehicle.
