hI,
What were the major changes from the WK to the WL Statesman in V8 form.

LED Tail lights, minor trim.... thats about it.

Late WL picked up the 6.0 litre same as late VZ.

WL 5.7 has throttle by wire (same as the VZ). Also bigger throttle body and air intake to go with the upgraded engine management, and revised exhaust system. A touch more peak power and torque going by the specs (10KW I think). In test driving various models I found it gave better lower down response than earlier versions. I was going to give up getting an LS1 as it felt gutless down low compared to my VQ 5 litre, but the WL felt a lot better. Well, I bought one anyway.

An XR6 turbo (suitably optioned up) was next on my look at list.

Compare the changes from VY2 to VZ, and you'll pretty well have it.
