I really think if HSV did an interior update on the E1 and saved the E2 for later on, it would've been one hell of a car. No fancy bodykit, an LS3 powertrain and an interior that might be gimicky in function but didn't appear so year 2000 spec. Couple that with a limited run of either a 427 or supercharger and you can guess the rest!
