cheers
Can't see this engine as an "option"...I reckon it'll be a stand alone model.
Cheers, Pickles.

I would love to see a supercharged HSV but I think it needs to be priced competitively.
IF HSV bring a supercharged GTS to the market for $95,000 and I can buy a SC ford for $60,000 how many do you think they will sell?
I think it is time holden and HSV stopped playing games and deliberately restricting engine output eg L98 has superior heads but shitty cam to make it less powerful than LS2. Why?! Market placement in the lineup??? I think that is the type of BS that is sending holden broke.
Why not make a hero car that is cheap and powerful, sells by the 10 thousand, puts smiles on lots of people's faces, and makes holden some much needed $$$$$.

cos it just wont happen ......
Because there will always be people willing to spend the cash...
if they do itll cost a shed load and holden needs to be able to sell models with profit...and alot. Something that maybe new to them...but FI would be good...as long as its price competitive with FPVs for a change....we get ripped off over and over...for slower cars with less potential...comon holden...do it
HSV has no problem selling cars now even with Ford having a better powertrain. It makes no sense financially to sell them cheap and devalue the brand more so than it already is. Sux I know. But that's how it is.

Ha ha ha....Sounds pretty right to me......particularly the last part of the last line!Quote:
