From HSV on the SV6000: The motivation for driving can take many forms. For some people it’s simply a means of getting from point A to point B. At the other end of the scale, many see the pleasure of driving as an experience to be relished and savoured.

HSV drivers no doubt fall squarely into the later category and that fits perfectly with the philosophy of Australia’s leading performance vehicle maker which aims to constantly introduce innovative new driver focused features and benefits. HSV is also the established master of exclusive, limited edition models.

Both of these elements come together in HSV’s latest niche model the SV6000. Over the years the ‘SV’ badge – followed by the year or engine displacement – has traditionally been used to signify ‘special’, limited production run models. Based on the popular Z Series ClubSport R8, the SV6000 combines HSV’s most sought after performance features and luxury appointments with individual appearance highlights and also introduces ground breaking technology in the form of a highly versatile driver aid called ‘Driver Dynamic Interface’ (DDI).
Plans: Now retired to sitting in the shed for a while, am focusing on my R32 GTS-t Type M.

Will be changing out the head unit for the factory one. Have recently changed out the front seat HSV logo and have the leather and logo done to change out the rears.  Need to paint the wheels and front bar to get rid of the stone chips too, was enjoyed before i parked it up.

Now for some pics showing what ive done with it!

Great car, reckon i have seen you on the HSV forum? Love the fire extinguisher bracket, is that standard HSV or did you make it up? Any more pics of it for a different angle?

Damn thats an awesome looking sv6000. Has to one of my favourite hsv models.

Thanks gents, its a fantastic car.

 

That shed pic was from a track day at eastern creek. That was a GT3 Porsche! These are my other cars!

 

 

Yep thats me over on the HSV forum, in regards to the bracket i just made it up to fit the front bolt holes of the seat, with some foam underneath

 

 

 

Haha @Krooza, they didnt even stop to have a chat!

I really like that, very cool and simple idea, might pinch that one

[KroozerParticipant Forbes, NSW91 VN SS View build HERE Member since: February 19, 2015 Posts: 336]

Yer looks good, does it rattle by any chance? And if you wanted to hide it a bit better you could just paint it black

Painting it black was exactly what I had in mind. Actually I was thinking maybe black vinyl covering it to make it look factory?

Wow were there only 50 of these? I swear I’ve seen a few punting around perth, always figured there were more. By far one if my favourites. I remember when they were new a local ‘native’ family somehow came into possession of one, absolutely destroyed it. Last time I say it it would have been no more than 3 or 4 years old, never cleaned, missing a headlight and half the front bar, every panel destroyed, rims rashed and rolling on the spare :(

^ need an unlike button :(

[StrickParticipant MelbourneSV6000 View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 20]

Could be easily painted to blend in better, i just had the checker plate sitting around the shed so was perfect to use. Bit of foam underneath it so it didnt rub or destroy the mats. Doesnt rattle or move at all actually, it does fit perfectly and the “arms” where it bolts to the seat captive nuts are measured and cut near on perfectly. Plus the fire extinguisher bracket is well secured also.

 

Yep only 50, they did however make a few more standard VZ Clubsports and R8s in yellow, MY06 only though. Pitty if the locals did destory one! I have a register of them, either info from their current owners or old for sale adds and ive only accounted for 2 written of of the 20 odd i have found

Love seeing pics of cars like this being used and enjoyed too. Not abused, but used for what they were built for. Nice stuff.

[RichardParticipant Macquarie FieldsVT Commodore View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 91]

Love it! Still see it once in a blue moon when I’m back around my mums place…

How much safer do you feel having the extinguisher up the front! This is the bracket I got made which holds to the seat adjuster & blends in almost 100% (except for the big red extinguisher)…

^ Very nice also, I like how it goes back and fwd with the seat, we might have to start a “fire extinguisher mount” thread

Edit : decided to create a separate thread http://www.commodoresplus.com.au/forums/topic/ideas-for-mounting-a-fire-extinguisher/

Lovely, maybe a new thread for the XUV?

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

The XUV is a nice clean bit of gear, haven’t had a visit from the 6000 yet!
