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

[macca_779]

I am talking about going from S/C 6.2 to S/C 5.5 if they were to introduce it in VE like the thread is asking... Ford and Merc went from N/A to S/C hence the downsizing in cubes

What about Ford US. the new 5.0 is miles better than the 5.4 even in NA form

An easy 600rwhp, that was a record at Summernats not too many years ago.

thats because the 5.4 was rubbish had no power above 5000 rpm

Don't know about rubbish the 315 wasn't bad!

It would be great if the VE was fitted with a S/C 6.2 to end a great model that is becoming tired,then the VF would definatly be what we are wanting,as it has to be better than that.

You would if it was a more efficient engine like in the FPV. The Ford engine makes more power than the LSA on similar boost when tuned properly.

Don't be concerned mate,....."IF" HSV decides to use the LSA engine, it will be absolutely "adequate"......have no worries at all about that.
Cheers, Pickles.

I agree, any blown v8 is adequate, whether it is available in a HSV for $60k is another question.

It will be PLENTY more than $60K....and it will NOT be a "mainstream" model.

thinks u no more than u care to admit

Surely a S/C Holden would have to be priced competively against the S/C Ford, even if it is in the top spec HSV.

Hardly - people are paying more to HSV for an N/A car now, why would a FI car be cheaper??? One thing HSV has in this market amongst Aussie car enthusiasts, is cachet - like it or not - they are still winning the Holden (HSV) vs Ford (FPV) battle on the popularity / sales lots.

Agree....HSV are still killing FPV, & by most counts, the product is still the better package than the FPV item.
IF, the S/C car appears, no, it will NOT be cheap...but hopefully, & I'd be very confident that, it will be good....VERY good.

So will it be a limited built type thing or will it just be so expensive that hardly anyone will be able to afford one?
You either know something or like people to think you know....which is it?

Bear....I'm glad I'm so "convincing"!!!.....but mate....honestly...I know NOTHING....I ain't got no inside info at all.
What I've said here, is simply what I reckon HSV will do.....and what I reckon HSV will do, is a limited build, fairly pricey, supercharged car, before the end of this year....and I reckon they will all sell.
Cheers, Pickles.

Fair enough then. I hope your right, even though i wont be buying one as i reckon the price would be crazy.
