pretty sure the VF will get the carry over LS3 then late next year the corvettes 6.2 litre direct injection LT1.
I have a deposit on a factory supercharged VF GTS in panorama silver. Sunroof, black leather and all the options including lightweight forged 20s.

Like their going to do a supercharged HSV. Your on drugs :cool:
No-doubt the HSV VF will get the LS3, amazing engine. With this new car that has people talking, a car with and "R" in it? could possibly be that Torana holden speculated overa few years back? Could be a Torana R (for Reborn). Who really knows what's going to happen. I have read in articles that what ever new car GM allows Holden to make would have to be something which could be sold international which backs up the Torana theory because it can be rebadged as a mid-sized performance Chevy in the states/middle east/UK (vauxhall)... I highly doubt that they'll decide to do a new large coupe because of the american market being saturated with large V8 Coupes already, as well as Australians not really wanting to buy Coupes over Utes (utes having the sportyness of 2 doors and a V8 with the the practicality of a tub). *2 cents*

Yep, almost a dead cert, LS3 til mid 2014.
I can dream can't I?
And sometimes they come true!Quote:

I'm not convinced. They've gone and made the GTS a pretty mainstream vehicle, and it's a strong seller. I'd be very surprised if they changed their tactics so quickly
They had their tactics changed for them Evan. Fpv anyone!
I heard the other day HSV has a few mules running around with blown engines under the bonnet I also heard GTS as well. Person i was talking wouldn't let on more though.
Not sure what that has to do with the GTS badge. Ever since the E Series came out the GTS was just an up-spec Clubsport. Only fairly recently did they come out with the extra 10hp crap. For them to go and make the GTS an elite car again would just highlight they have no idea wtf they're doing. They had their chance a thousand times over with the big HP motors but they blew it with the W427. That should have been the equivalent of the 300kw pre-VE GTS, and it should have been sold for the same price, 100k.Quote:

Will the LS3 get direct injection and AFM in the new HSV like the motor in the new Vette? 450bhp so about 330kw. An LSA GTS would have to be upwards of 350kw if this is the case, IMHO.
LSA has around 415KW.Quote:
