VK Group A

After being first seen in the form of the SL Group A, HDT revived the Group A name for the SS Group A, a 500 build homologation special with it's striking Formula Blue paintwork. For these cars, the 5.0 litre V8 was actuallu destroked as under Group A regulations, a weight penalty would have been incurred for having an engine over 5 Litres, so the engine was destroked from 5044cc's to 4.987cc's, or 308 cubic inches to 304 cubic inches. HDT referred to the 304 as the 4.9 litre V8.

Although supposed to be 500 built, a mix up in ordering meant 502 SS Group A's were actually produced and the cars featured much of the items to be used on the race cars, such as large front air dam, large boot spoiler, roller rockers and a modified block, which was painted a distinctive red. A Crane Cam of HDT's design was also fitted and all up, the Group A's modifications lifted the power output to a very healthy 196kw's.

16x7 HDT Aero rim's minus the flush covers were fitted as standard, but Brock wanted these wheels to be white. In the end, Holden and Brock agreed that white wheels would be optional and some buyers also chose to have the flush covers fitted also. The interior featured the cars build number of 500 on the glovebox, along with a set of Shceel seats, momo steering wheel & gearbknob, but not much else, with the sound system consiting of just 2 speakers and a Tape Deck as it was not designed to be a luxury cruiser.

In addition to the 502 Group A's, HDT later released 48 Group A/Group 3's. These featured the Group 3's interior refinements and bodykit combined with the Group A's mechanical package.
