[edit] Power pack

The article states:

The Commodore SS Optional features included:[6]

• Power windows

Wasn't it actually a "power pack" option, which included power windows, mirrors and antenna? I believe that this was the same for S and Berlina, too. Sean K 05:10, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

A lot of the specifications from the VQ Statesman article could also be copied over to the VN Calais specification listing. I may be wrong (have never owned a VN Calais), but I think that apart from suspension, engine and wheels, the equipment levels are almost the same. The main differences between the two cars were things like extra sound insulation, softer suspension, extra padding in the seats, widened console, and so on. Sean K 08:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VN V8 - LSD STANDARD

Sorry to pick on you guys for the little things, but my father bought his VN CALAIS in 1991, whcih in now mine, and every VN V8 was released with a LSD DIFF as a standard part, not an option. Looking further into this, there was 2 types of LSD's used in VN-VS non IRS COMMODORES Im not sure on their names, but there ws a 'SUPER HEAVY DUTY' type diff, that you would see in most police cars and some standard cars, especially the UTE's, and then there was another type of LSD, which in comparison to normal LSD's is of poor quality. The identification of these differentials can be made by a special metal plate bolted onto all heavy duty LSD's, stating that its a high performance differential —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.193.227.17 (talk) 00:15, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. I've added information regarding the standard LSD on the V8 Calais, however, I'm afraid you haven't provided me with enough information about the two types of LSD to include in the article. If you have a list of sources, that may be possible. OSX (talk • contributions) 05:38, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
