Supercharged HSV this year?....I say yes.

[NickS]

Sorry to interrupt lads but how much is a new C63 over there and how much is a new GTS?

C63 ~ $150K and GTS ~ $80K

[Martin_D]

C63 ~ $150K and GTS ~ $80K

And the GTS is better than half as good as a C63 hence great value.
The good news is both start out as a basic Taxi body in their home countries

Its funny how many things we say we want & need in the new HSV's and list there there problems but still sign the dotted line when we get none of them. If they keep selling enough of them they will think they are doing fine and why would they change anything. They will keep doing the minor updates etc because to most people thats all thats required, its only a limited bunch that require a supercharged 6.2Ltr car. Id like to see Holden/HSV concentrate on quality interiors for a while, then add a blower.

HSV should team up with Nissan, like the 80's, and drop the V6TT out of the R35 GTR in a commodore, now that would be something special in RWD.

And it would probably be more expensive than a GTR....
Remeber HSV wanted (and got) GTR money for an Omega with a crate 427 in it

I just figured with all the pie in the sky stuff in this thread already I'd just throw some extra fuel on that fire

[SUZUKI MALISHA]

Absolutely I'd consider it ... we still have an HSV and have a replacement on order.

As long as I have the kids to cart around I'll be doing it in an HSV ... IMO nothing comes close for the size, power, equipment etc. Except maybe an FPV ... but we've already covered that!

as long as the kids dont mind being late every where haha

[Samurai Trader]

hahaha. yeah thats life we always want what we dont have...

maybe i went too far with the massive piece of shit thing...

[Pickles]

No need to ruin the thread guys....the question was simple...will there be a supercharged car?.....I still say yes.....and I still say this year.
Cheers, Pickles.

I don't see why they would? They're still moving enough stock of them, I'm sure a token "supposed' increase in power and another piece of tacked on plastic will suffice for the masses.

Take note of what I said...'masses' not enthusiasts who want everything yet don't have the coin to buy new.

yep it does tend to be HSVs style lately...shares in plastic bits haha...but yeah...why the hell would they...surely nothing like that at least untill the all new model. I remember when the GT355 came out...EVERYONE here said chargers are wank..we love our NA v8s thanks...or along those lines. Now everyones seems to be chomping at the bit for a factory GT wanna be. I say stay NA anyway

So you would buy what has been widely reported as the inferior overall package because it has more power ???

I suppose every VT putting out over 336kW is a better car than my C63 too ... they have to be, they have more power ... that's all that matters, isn't it ?

Will HSV release a supercharged car ? Who knows ...

Would I consider buying one ? Nope ... not even remotely interested.

and why would that be ?

Nick has an HSV, he has a new one on order to replace it, but I don't think he will pay a premium price for a supercharged version I assume he's saying.

Pretty much ... at $80K I see value in the GTS and it has plenty of power for what we use it for, more than enough.

At > $100K (???) for the same thing with more power, just makes no sense to me. I'm not a fan of superchargers either ... just don't really interest me.
