I wonder if Walkinshaw are developing a GTS W500 package?

My sources at lingenfelter have suggested there will be a W500 package available for the GTS next month. Seems Walkinshaw are intending to rebrand some of Lingenfelter's hardware namely the supercharger snout and pully assembly.

Harrop got that gig covered.

will these 'packages' de-value the original W427?

sounds like they will to me

As Pauline Hanson said many times "Please Explain"

I doubt it. It's a niche market for anyone that wants a W427

[kayman]

I think Luis did some testing on a HM bi model system and got it to pass. Can't recall the details though

Yeah I think that was the twin 2.5 inch though.

in the short term yes...
but rememeber the W427 was a limited build and the first car aussie car to 'crack' the 500hp off the show room floor
and yes price is all in who whats to buy it.
only a W427 can take replace a W427
its the bench mark and always refered to when a car is above the 500hp range (eg this thread)

I would take a base W427 over ANY hyped up modern Walkinshaw product at every opportunity.

after owning a Gen-F i could never go back to VE, even the W427. I think a lot of people would think this, the new VF interior is too good to ingore. On the plus side i think a lot of people will think the same so if your in the market for a W427 the only way is steeply down for their resale.

hasnt been in one

I agree mate any one that hasnt been in the new VF has no idea what an old place the VE is compared to the VF

You are assuming of course that I am stuck in my "old VE" having never experienced the joys of some interior wonderland. I stepped out of an Audi with buttons/lights/knobs/ for everything and the kitchen sink to get into the Senator - so trust me, I am no longer impressed by any kind of interior "feature set".

When I get in my 77 LX Torana hatchback, I don't think about how primitive the interior is, or that it doesn't have (insert wank gadget name).

Or maybe I can't afford a VF though, so I must be jealous instead of having my own opinion based on what I find tasteful or not?

[Angeldust]

when i 1st sat in a VF and then went back to my VZ, yeah i thought that it too was just way to plain etc etc..

now several weeks on, i ain't missing anything and still love the ol' VZ interior.

^^ love the old 70's interior styling, and i love torrie's.

no need to take it personally buddy. i would think though if you can afford a W427 you can afford a Gen-F or a W375. If we all had the same opinion it would be a pretty boring forum.
