Supercharged HSV?

[bouka]

Yeah I'd already picked up on that, just wanted to break his balls a bit

Back on topic, I can't wait for the release. The GTS should be brilliant but I really want to see the senator.

Wish they put the lsa in the senator!

It would be a shame if the HSV seats have those ugly stripes down the middle too?

that could be a Shoulder Strap from one of those man bag satchels they seem to sport in Melbourne

I hope your not counting on those options muzzy.

Have you put your deposit down yet?

Get onto it!

They need to do something good with the Auto. It makes a huge difference to how effectively and efficiently power is applied.

.....They will now have the new 6l90e in stead of the 6l80e...........at least that`s something

Spot on muzz. And I hope the paddle thing happens, not sure though.

Just get one already. You have owned just about every other Aussie muscle car!

[Angeldust]

hmmm... if u can't decide between a gts OR a C63, easy, go with the one that has a 'manual' option

[Ghosn]

Bouka, in your 'opinion', which do you think will be quicker in the GTS. Auto or Manual?

I honestly don't know.

You would assume auto but too many variables.

In this day and age, are there still manuals that go faster and autos given the same power, weight, gearing etc?

Mmm yeah. It should be stronger but I don't think strength is a serious issue with the 80. Considering HSV are not doing the completely unique rear treatment or front fenders there should be something left in the budget for a bespoke gearbox?.... I mean camaro zl1 is only 60k in the USA.

Auto better for striaght line, manual better for circuit.

The 6L80e was/is rated for 550Nm torque only, hence with every power (Kw) increase on the HSV range the torque (Nm) has remained at the same 550Nm.
